I love my SMART Board, too! I was able to purchase a rear projection SMART Board so that my students and I would not trip over the cords. I don't plan lessons any more on paper. I plan them all using SMART Notebook or PowerPoint (which also works very well with SMART Tools). If you contact SMART Technologies, they should put you in touch with one of their education specialists who will come to your school or school district and provide training for your staff. The best 40 minute SMART Training I received was from the SMART educational specialist from our state who came and spent half a day with our teachers, showing them the ins and outs of SMART Notebook. I couldn't teach without it now!

Just got it this year full time and I use it every day I have classes. I've ordered one for my other libraries as well. I haven't had any training and wish some were available, but what I figured out myself is working so well for me!
