SMART BOARD CONCLUSION

Research Question: Does student interaction with SMART Board technology effect student achievement?

Methodology:

Subjects: Four regular high school biology classes in Forsyth County.

Procedures: All classes will take a pretest to measure their current knowledge. In two classes students will be given a SMART Board activity for two days. The other two classes will be given a PowerPoint activity for two days. The four classes will receive the exact same lesson using PowerPoint. The PowerPoint activity will be adapted to become a SMART Board activity. After two days of instruction the students will be given a post test to access what they have retained.

Analysis: The four classes' test results will be compared using a t-test. The results will be compared to see if there is a significant difference between the groups.
