Lakeshore Advance, 2012-05-23, Page 1612 Lakeshore Advance • Wednesday, June 1, 2011 Smart Boards for St. Boniface School Thanks to their School Advisory Council (SAC), every classroom at St. Boniface School, Zurich now has the advantage of a SmartBoard. Following the initial purchase of a SmartBoard for the grade 7/8 class by the Huron Perth Cahtolic District School Board in January 2007, St. Boniface's SAC saw the value of this teaching tool. The SAC has since focused a large part of their fund- raising on outfitting all the other classes with SmartBoards, costing over $3000.00 each. Leigh Anne VanAaken, President of St. Boniface's SAC commented, "The Smart - Boards are a great resource for our school and an itnportant teaching tool, that the teachers are happy to have. Also, the stu- dents love to show you what they can do" SmartBoards take the place of black- boards, they are large interactive (touch - screen) whiteboards that project computer images. Caroline Thuss, grade 7/8 teacher from St. Boniface says, "Students can read, type, participate in Internet based activi- ties and present infonnation to their fellow classmates in ways that keep them moti- vated". Students and staff of St. Boniface School are excited to now have this tech- nology from junior kindergarten through to grade 8! --• s9ead4 VArte cud 1(0%4 usia two kaousled9edle you aux dItost 141.0u44114 jot geuttata, ice, Everwrees okras liefeedleo cod W ,Sumac Sam at Asfiaalts pas 4 41( /Not $13.99 7Jilix 4440/444 Vitka4 t4 1 tat feta set a $18.99 crow first $5.99 ,1e4t. eo4i414 t« 4" pa 4 Os $10.00 Si1pal o$7 &me ea e44141 des else scat deleeam Renee Steinmann and Colin Meindinger, senior kindergarten students from St. Boniface School using their new SmartBoard.
