One touch on the SMART Table screen is never enough. Young students are drawn to its surface, where work and play come together in hands-on, collaborative activities.

The SMART Table is the first multitouch, multiuser interactive learning center that allows groups of primary students to work simultaneously on its surface. The table's interface is so intuitive that even the youngest of students can get started without instructions.

Designed to encourage collaboration, the table gives teachers flexible content options. They can use customizable, ready-made activities or create their own. And the table is ready to use instantly, so it's easy for both students and teachers.

The SMART Table includes learning applications that require students to work together on a problem and then come to a consensus before giving their answer.

Complements the SMART Board

For teachers wanting to optimize both whole-class and small-group learning, the SMART Table is an excellent complement to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard. Teachers can introduce a concept on the interactive whiteboard with all students, then reinforce it through group work at the SMART Table learning center. For example, a geography lesson begun on the interactive whiteboard could be reinforced with a mapping activity on the table.

Includes ready-made, hands-on activities

The table comes with a collection of applications that provide teachers with ready-made activities. The activities help children learn and apply age-appropriate skills, such as reading and counting. A wide range of activities are available, and many are customizable.

Teachers can use the following applications:

• Multiple Choice: Students answer questions by dragging their answer to a central image
• HotSpots: Students identify parts of a diagram by dragging labels to the correct spot
• Paint: Students select colors and effects and then paint with their fingers
• Media: Students drag or resize photos and videos
• Addition: Students work together to solve math problems
• Puzzle: Students work together to solve a tangram or jigsaw puzzle

The table comes with a SMART Table Toolkit, which enables teachers to access applications and build a variety of activities around them. It's easy to take a multiple choice activity on North American animals, for example, and switch in images of tigers, elephants, lions and gazelles. Now you have an African animal exercise.

The toolkit is carried on the SMART Table USB bracelet. Teachers can use the bracelet to transfer digital activities between the table and their own computers.

For further flexibility, teachers can download customizable SMART Table activity packs. The packs include interactive activities that correspond with SMART-created lesson activities and Senteo question sets. New packs will be added on an ongoing basis.
