** Abstract **===== We will be creating and maintaining a Smartboard helpdesk to help teachers with the technology. The website will contain lesson plans and helpful links. It will also contain videos that will feature students explaining different parts of the hardware and software. Finally, a forum will be implemented to allow teachers to contribute questions and answers.
