SMART BOARD @ Harmony in Action

​Harmony in Action has participants that attend daily with a wide variety of functioning levels and for that reason the smart board room is used on a daily basis. For example, some of the clients handle math well but are not so advanced in other subjects, while others are great with money skills but cannot grasp mathematical teachings. This creates difficulties in teaching to different needs. Staff must rearrange the group by subject and functioning level, as well as prepare the information so that each level meets their individual need. Teaching clients life skills is an essential task. Having a SMART Board helps tremendously with keeping up with individual requirements. In obtaining a SMART Board, they are able to organize different levels of each subject in disks for the computer, resulting in less preparation time and a more efficient teaching environment. The SMART Board is easy to use, when the lessons are set on the board the participants can write on the board with their finger or the marker whichever easiest for them. The SMART Board makes it easy for group activities each day. The SMART Board allows the staff to reinforce skills using online interactive websites, and develop more computer skills.
