IWBUsers.com - International Interactive whiteboard user forum - users of all brands are welcome to share lesson activites between teachers for all types of subjects and schools.

We at IWBUsers.com have had the chance to try out the new SMART Table almost one year ago at Bett in a Beta version.

Now SMART launches this really interesting product as a big blast.

SMART Table is intended for K6 students and is a Multi touch 27 inch big table with the ability for multiple students to interact.
The SMART Table uses SMARTs DViT Technology also used in SMARTs Flatpanel overlay and rear projection systems. The systen comes complete with a PC stuffed with applications and SMARTs Tool Kit that enables teachers to make their own material that should be used.
Files are easly transfered with a ordinary USB key and can be made on the teachers computer.

SMART Table also works with SMARTs award winning Notebook software.
Speakers are also included in the table for maximum multimedia use.

Students can interact and use multiple fingers to twist and turn objects, resize and other things need to complete the task they are given.

We heard this latest version of the Table will be show in school shows all over the world now - in the Nordics it will be shown in Sweden at Skolforum 27-29 october.

Se a short demonstration in the below video clip.

SMART Technologies has launched a new SMART Board in the Indian market that should be priced 30% lower than ordinary SMART Board models.
Most remarkable with this release is that this SMART Board is PEN driven - yes - hard surface and uses a pen to operate.

The SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard uses SMART’s patented DViT™ (Digital Vision Touch) technology for the first time in a front-projection, pen-only system.

“Technology can help close the digital divide by providing access to a 21st-century education. The SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard offers a viable option for areas of the world that want the benefits of SMART’s award-winning products at a more affordable cost,” commented Nancy Knowlton, SMART’s CEO.

In India the price is set to RS 90 000 - not really interesting to convert to Dollars since the ordinary Interactive whiteboards are much more expensive there compared to US / UK / European market.
