If you’ve experienced SMART Notebook software, you’ve probably noticed the impact it can have on everyday lessons – transforming them into interactive learning opportunities.
Now, that powerful and intuitive software is available for students – SMART Notebook Student Edition. Created for the way today’s students interact with information, this beta version enables them to organize their projects and complete assignments in a personalized and nonlinear format. An intuitive interface enables students to find and categorize their notes, and manage their due dates with ease.

Our new Middle School block is taking shape. We should be moving in at the start of the next academic year. The following gear would complete the rooms:
SMART Board 600i IWB
The BIG selling point of this system is the location of the projector directly above the IWB. No shake or allignment issues that are associated with ceiling mounted projectors! The placement of the projector also reduces shadows and any light from shining in the teacher/student’s eyes while working at the board. Other benefits include an integrated control panel for other AV attachments like a DVD player.
USB speakers would complement the above system, adding sound to the IWB experience. They have the added benfit of having a USB slot on the front for fast loading of files that need to be shared, eg if a student has produced a piece of woerk that is goinhg to be presented.
Move away from the IWB and get amongst the students. How can you have a student at the IWB, move around the room, and control/add to the content being displayed? Impossible? Not with an Airliner wireless slate. With this slate two people can write on an IWB. It is wireless and can be used from anywhere in the room. This is an affowrdable must have teaching tool. I’ve used one – it is dead easy and will give a teacher so much more flexibility in terms of movement in the room. Step away from the board!
