Smart board in the classroom

As an English teacher, the smart board could serve some good purposes:
- providing students with ways to interact with the material (e.g. conjugating verbs, diagraming sentences, etc.
- English classes can sometimes be boring so it could be good to mix things up - perhaps showing tutorials or instructional
videos instead of just lecturing
- I like the "Jeopardy" idea for study purposes, especially like with grammar rules, literary terms, or actual questions from
readings they may have done
- I love that the SMART board is so good as a presentation tool, both for myself and also for students. Giving them the
option to present a research paper, etc. using the board could offer those that are technologically inclined a creative outlet

Even though the SMART board could be useful in so many ways, I also think that it is not necessarily an educational must - at least for my teaching style. So much of English learning, especially literature, is greatly enhanced with research and discussion, neither of which would be really advanced by using the board.
