1. About the significance of using smart boards

Data shows that using a smart board can effectively increase student success rates by 16%.

Besides, three main features of smart screens have a significant relationship with student success.

1.1 Student Response System. It is a portable voting device.students use it to get answers to questions. Then the percentage of students who get the correct answer is immediately displayed on the board in the form of a bar graph or pie chart. The use of a voting machine has a 26% impact on student success.Click supports many choice judgments and other question formats for interaction.

1.2 Use of visual tools to present information. This tool includes images and video clips downloaded from the internet, websites such as Google, charts, and so on. The use of this aid was also effective in increasing the success rate of students by 26%.

1.3 Smart whiteboards have intelligent programs that teachers can use to display correct answers or present other materials.

2.2 Failure to organize or set content correctly. In these cases, teachers combine video clips taken from the Internet or images they want to show important information. They then quickly turn to the flipchart and although the students are impressed with the graphics. Although they do not have time to analyze and interact with the content.

2.3 High use of visual elements. Digital wallchart pages are full of visual stimuli, but it is difficult to recognize what is important in them.
