The Use of Smartboards in the classroom, are you a

I know that there are many schools that don’t have it in their budgets for smart-boards but the schools that do, I believe that there are so useful.  I had the privilege while student teaching to have access to a smart-board and I think it enhances students learning abilities.  Students are more involved in what is being taught and retain more of the information.  Not only do smart-boards add color to what is being taught, you can do some much more with it.  I had to teach a lesson on vertebrates and invertebrates, so i used the smart-board and showed my students a video.  Before we watched the video I constructed a K.W.L. on the smart-board.  During and after the video, I had my students come up and fill in the different parts.  Once the lesson was over I had all of my students make a double bubble map on the two.  I was amazed on how much they retained. I owe it all to the smart-board.  I say this because when I was in High school(a long time ago) my teachers would teach us on the old black boards and I would loose interest within 5 mins.  I love smart-boards and hopefully will have one in my classroom.  Any other great uses for smart-boards???
