I would definitely use the Kidspiration software and the SMARTBoard in my classroom. In fact, I used the Kidspiration to help me with my lesson plan. I used the Kidspiration to make a lesson where the students could use the SMARTBoard to move coins around to make different monetary values. When my fellow students presented their Kidspiration presentations, I saw a lot of great ideas that I would use in my classroom. For example, I would use the Concept Mapping and Whiteboard to teach students about the weather, time, holidays, etc. Their uses are endless. I hope my classroom has a SMARTBoard because it really is a neat piece of technology, and I think children will be excited to use it, too.
