Physics, Chemistry, and Bio Department’s  topic mentioned many prospects. They reported that Smart Board can not replaced  of students’ grouping activities, the relationship between Smart Board and these  activities should be close, we can not cancel any of them, and we can not just depend  on only one of them. We should consider these two tools as a whole in order to get  a perfect teaching effect. Every teacher thought Leveled-Teaching is a very  good way to improve students’ studying, but it is very hard to bring it into  effect, because we can not find an effective way to evaluate students’ level. Teachers  of double-language and AP have some problem that they do not know the how many  courses are suitable for students from different grades and different levels.
