On February 12th, 2009, Math faculty member Nancy Zuber shared with a group of faculty and staff some of the methods she’s developed for teaching Math using Smartboard. These methods included class notes, reusable math theorems that can be dragged and dropped onto the Smartboard, saving and posting class materials to Blackboard, and the use of color and fonts that highlight key concepts. What prompted Nancy to develop class notes was the fact that she viewed student notes and found that students were writing down inaccurate steps and concepts, and therefore reinforcing incorrect information. While Nancy did not find significant grade differences based on her sample of just 1-2 classes so far, students did self-report that the class notes and use of the smartboard in general was useful to them and helped them learn the material.
