Abstract:
Having a SMART Board™ and all the technology that goes with it may
be the best thing happening in the language learning classroom, but it
is not much good without purposeful instruction only a teacher can provide.
In fact, the SMART Board™ places increased demands on a teacher
expected to adopt and adapt materials that may or may not match with the
required course curriculum. Choosing appropriate communicative tasks for
use with the SMART Board™ requires enhanced awareness of the pitfalls
associated with technology and the dangers of creating a smartboard-centered
classroom.
