Ten District 16 teachers of French have been invited by Smart Technologies to participate in a SMART Content Creation Seminar in Montreal, March 21 and 22, with additional support from local school authorities. The intention of the seminar is to create French language materials for classroom teachers to use with SMART Technologies’ classroom products, including the interactive whiteboards known as SMARTBoards ™. This is an opportunity for these teachers to share their expertise and experience with teachers of French from other areas of Canada. District 16 has been chosen as the first SMART Showcase District in the world for its early adoption and comprehensive use of the innovative products produced by the Canadian based company. Local teachers have made a number of similar contributions to content development for SMART Technolgies, the overall purpose of which is to enhance classroom learning.
