Smart Boards make learning a little magical - MAURA McDERMOTT, Star-Ledger
The old stone Briarcliff School in Mountain Lakes is starting to look like a place where Harry Potter might feel at home. Red ink seems to come spilling out of teachers' bare fingers. Computers speak aloud. Kids clamor to approach the blackboards. "That's so cool," sixth-grader Kevin Sullivan murmured as teacher Jen Peifly taught a lesson on punctuation. The boy was fascinated not by the proper use of quotes and commas, but by the computer system called a Smart Board at the head of the classroom. The school installed the systems -- called interactive white boards -- in social studies and language arts classrooms in late April, thanks to a $155,000 grant from the state Department of Education.
