The Smart Board Activities that I will be using in my presentation are the keyboard and the icon that enlarges the text.

The NETS standards for Students and Teachers this activity covers are:
1. Communication and Collaboration: Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems.
2. Technology Operations and Concepts:Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. Students understand and use technology systems. Students also select and use applications effectively and productively.
3. Teachers design and develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments. This involves designing or adapting relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.

An interactive white board could improve student learning in my future ESL classroom in that the students are using technology while simultaneous learning their vocabulary words in an interactive setting. They can work as a group to become more familiar with the English words, their definitions, and the context they fit into.
