Due to a shortage of classroom space, two of the three Spanish classes at Lester Prairie School are held in the science lab. Finding space to project lessons or a surface to write on was an issue. With the generous support of the Lester Prairie Parents for Education, Lester Prairie School was able to purchase a mobile SMART Board interactive display.
In simplest terms, the SMART Board interactive display technology turns the teacher’s computer into a 65” interactive touchscreen display. Teachers or students are able to touch a finger to the display to interact with websites or multimedia content and use their finger or supplied pens to write directly on the screen with digital ink.
The mobile unit is used daily by two Spanish classes and two computer classes. It is easily moved and available for classes and meetings held in rooms and spaces in the building not currently having access to this interactive technology.
Lester Prairie students and staff would like to thank the Lester Prairie Parents for Education, Lester Prairie Foundation for Education, Booster Club, Lions Club and all of our proud school supporters for their generous donations that have helped us to purchase SMART Boards, chrome books, iPads, and supported other technology and learning activities over the past several years. Your support is greatly appreciated and continues to enhance the learning opportunities for our students.
