Schools today are looking for the next best technological breakthrough that can make learning easier for their students, teaching easier for the teachers, and the school look better in terms of being modern. One of the latest trends is the SMART Board and Promethean Board. Which one is better for the classroom? Which makes both teaching and learning easy/fun? I myself have had experience with both of these boards and I believe that the Promethean Board is better. It is much easier to right on and the projector is mounted on the same structure that the board is. This means that there is no adjusting the projector or calibrating the board if the projector or board is moved or even bumped like with the SMART Board. Below are pictures, videos, and each boards home website so you can get an idea of what it is like to use each of these tools and make an opinion on which you believe is better for teaching and learning.

| The Promethean Board is the one on the left. Apparently I was wrong in my statement above that the SMART Board's projector does not come attached to the board itself. |
