Are smartboards worth the financial investment? Our group had a hard time on deciding on if smarboards were worth the financial investment or if they weren't worth the investment. I think that smarboards would be worth the financial investment if educators were trained in how to use the samrt boards properly. Also, if teachers could find the right lessons to use with teh smartboard, then they would be useful to teachers and students. If the smartboards are not being used and are just sitting in the classroom, then they are a waste of money. I think that teachers who know how to use the smartboards, and find them useful should be able to get them, but teachers who do not use them, then they should not waster their money on buying them.
