And they weren’t the only ones at the event who were impressed. Other educators present also added their approval as this brand-new, innovative product for classrooms and lecture theaters was showcased during a training event.

Every educator at the event was able to try more than 20 new products aimed at equipping the 21st century classroom. Other products included the SMART Table, SMART Response, SMART Math and a range of document cameras and more!
