			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Foreign Language Faculty,</p>
<p>We would like to invite you all to an orientation session on using the<br />
SMARTTech Smartboard.</p>
<p>The SMARTBoard (<a href="http://smarttech.com">http://smarttech.com/</a>) has become a common<br />
installation in the K-12 classroom for teaching all subjects and has<br />
great potential for all presentational teaching. It allows for<br />
PowerPoint-like presentations that you can directly<br />
interact with. It connects to a computer and projector and allows you<br />
to navigate by touching the SMARTBoard surface to click on icons or<br />
weblinks, and move visual elements around on the screen. You can also<br />
save the resulting images for later reference or for distribution to<br />
the class.</p>
<p>Gloria Washington will be presenting to interested faculty members<br />
on May 14th at 1 PM in the Ted Mimms Foreign Language Learning Center.</p>
<p>Please RSVP to fllcrequest@sc.edu if you plan on attending.
</p>
