= Welcome to the SMART User Groups Wiki! =

//**This is a work in progress, any hints about how it could work better would be greatly appreciated!**//

Having run many User Groups, training sessions, workshops and presentations on using the SMART Board I always use examples that are directly applicable to the audience I am in front of. However, I am aware that in a lot of areas I am not an expert and teachers want to see things they can directly employ in their lessons. As well as this there is not always a lot of time for teachers to talk to each other or discuss how they are using the new technology. Finally, keeping up to date with what's going on and where to go for training may not always be possible

My aim with this Wiki then has been to create a one-stop-shop or forum for teachers to discuss issues relating to 'SMART Board best practice', share resources and find out where and when they can learn more.

The big thing with the site though is involvement from you, the teachers. I'm going to keep on adding resources and ideas, snippets of research or any links I think worthwhile.

if you can add a resource, add it; if you've used the SMART Board in an interesting or innovative way, share it; if you have a question or comment, discuss it; if you want more training or want to find out about a User Group, follow the links! **
 * When you join up, please:

The Wiki is split into User Groups for different areas, Special Education and Secondary Schools for example. All you need to do is click on the page that is relevant to you. From time to time the HOME page will have TALK POINTS to discuss latest issues.
