Another sunny day, lovely and warm out in the sun but decidedly chilly in the shade. 
Cherry blossom at school.
Cherry blossom at school.I worked all day at school. In the morning I taught a class that I don't know too well and boy were there a few lively ones in that class. We had an African dance session and after 20 mins some of them were complaining they were tired! More art in the afternoon, various types of printing and collage work.
Fresh spring leaves.After school we had an informal session on the new Smart Boards. They are a lot easier than our old boards and there are so many tools there is hardly any need to add in other programs. Needless to say our favourite was the writing tool that produces a line of flowers or smiley faces.

i have never heard of smart boards, is it a writing tablet? That is awesome the kids get an african dance class :)
A Smart Board is a type of interactive whiteboard that you you use for front of class teaching. The board is 1m x 1.33m and it shows what is on your pc monitor. It works by touching the board with your finger or special pens. The Smart board tool bar is very easy to operate and there are all sorts of options for writing tools, shapes, board erasors, a very useful blind that you can reveal the work underneath from top , bottom or the sides and basically everything you need for teaching. It is also great for watching dvds or anything from the web. There is one in every class as well as individual pcs and laptops.
As well as African dancing the children have all had an African drumming session and the whole school has been doing African based art work.
The cherry blossoms look beautiful against the blue sky!!
Modern technology has replaced the black boards and chalks with the hassle-free and fast-paced smart board along with its’ smart pen. These easy-to-use interactive whiteboards work as touch screens and substitute the usual whiteboard markers with digital pens. They function like a regular computer as they are based on windows applications. Unlike the typical simple boards, they are enhanced with features such as the provision of the facility to interact with other technologies; screen projectors, computers, laptops, etc. Therefore, a smartboard can not only help you deliver brilliant presentations, but also several other activities such as playing multimedia clips, video conferencing, learning, demonstrations, etc.
