SMART Boards Classrooms have evolved since the

chalkboard days where chalkboards were one of the main tools for teaching.

SMART Boards are interactive boards that are used today in many learning environments.

They provide teachers with a variety of tools to create a learning environment for kids that is both fun and efficient.

The cost of a SMART Board varies from how large the board is and how many features it includes, just like many electronics. The price range is from $500 to $7000.

whiteboard but it is much more than that. It is an interactive board that comes with many features that make teaching easier for teachers.
