Customer Reviews
Joan and Ben Rule!!!
This podcast is amazing. If you have a SmartBoard or are thinking about getting one, you need to listen to this podcast. Every week they provide a downloadable lesson, fantastic links, and great banter. You will love listening to them. I don't know how they have the time to create such an amazing show, but they do it every week.
Helpful But Wordy
These guys have some great ideas but they talk a lot. You have to listen to a lot of filler to get to the gems. If you have a SmartBoard though those gems are worth the wait.
What a Powerful Podcast
Joan and Ben are very down to earth. Their podcast is very informative and entertaining. I have gathered so much knowledge about the use of the Smartboard and different ways in which to use the lessons. They are a wealth of information. Wish they were on more often than once a week.
