The Education Library staff offers training on SMART Technologies for teacher education students of the College of Education (COE). Because all elementary Title I schools in Alachua County are outfitted with SMART Boards/peripherals, and many other classrooms are soon to follow, new teachers should be able to use them proficiently.

In an effort to prepare teacher education students, many of whom will eventually work for the county and state, this training to integrate the SMART tools successfully into the curriculum needs to begin before they get to the classroom.

The Education Library supports and administers a program for training these essential technology skills, funded by the University of Florida Smathers Libraries mini-grant program.

Currently, this program is focused on teacher education students, but we would consider expanding it to other programs as requested. For further information, please contact Marilyn Ochoa.

From the SMARTClassroom on YouTube:  This is the version of the SMART Board available for your use in the Education Library Classroom and Group Study Room.
