Technology Boost in the Library!

The Smart Board is finally working.  Thank you district technician Tom Hilton for your patience and determination in installing our first Smart Board and then patiently trouble shooting when it wouldn't work! Points West Audio Visual Ltd. (Kelowna) eventually decided we needed a new one, so by mid October I was finally able to test drive this amazing technology.

It works like a smart phone.  The board on the wall is like a computer monitor. It communicates with the main library computer but instead of using a keyboard, the user can use her hand or the provided smart board pens.  It's very similar to a computer projector, but has many more capabilities.

While I've known about Smart Boards for years, I'm new to using it, so still lots to learn.  Drop by and I'll take you for a test run.  See above for library hours.
