Why schools are upgrading to SMART Learning Suite?

Why schools are upgrading to SMART Learning Suite?

For nearly 30 years SMART have been developing their award winning SMART Notebook software that has been used in schools all over the world. The new SMART Learning Suite gives schools probably one of the best educational classroom application suite. We feel this will enable students and teachers to use any device to connect and to turn lessons into interactive learning experiences.

The new SMART learning suite now incorporates 3 components - SMART Notebook, SMART Lesson Activity Builder and SMART Amp. By incorporating all 3 elements users are now part of a learning community.

SMART Notebook Software is the award winning interactive learning platform that is purpose built for education. It improves learning outcomes, integrates with mobile devices and offers real-time, multi-way contribution. The software also allows lessons to be customised using subject specific features and also provides access to thousands of online resources saving teachers time.

SMART Lesson Activity Builder – Since introducing the initial SMART Notebook learning software – SMART has continued to develop and enhance the teacher/learner experience. SMART listened to teachers – and the greatest gift they have given is TIME. SMART LAB provides customisable content to ensure activities are pedagogically sound. The software incorporates activities for collaborative devices which encourages input from student devices to develop critical thinking. By using high quality graphics and audio, lessons are kept fun and engaging.

SMART Amp Software - SMART amp leverages Google Apps for Education to take co-creation and student-led learning to a whole new level. SMART amp allows students to work together, and with their teachers, across laptops and tablets in an infinite workspace. Add content, explore existing content and work together on projects – all while giving teachers real-time insight into who is contributing what. SMART Amp includes rich, digital content including embedded assessment, chat and the ability to play SMART Notebook files.

You can see these great features here and the really good news for your school is if you are considering a refresh of your Interactive display technology the SMART Learning Suite is included with all new SMARTBoard or Panel purchase and is available to purchase with 3rd Party panels too.

SMART believe that nothing should get in the way of creating learning experiences. The new licensing means that the new SMART Learning Suite can be used on any hardware. SMART Learning Suite offers one simple pricing model, so you have one cost to budget for.

The software is designed to fit into you existing environment, using any device, whether it be Interactive Whiteboards, Interactive Displays, Chromebooks or BYOD plans, there are now no limits for SMART.

Rapid recommended Smartboards for our visual training needs. They provided us with a mobile resource that can be moved from room to room. This easy to use, intuitive technology has become a firm favourite with our trainers and has increased audience participation in our sessions. Rapid provided us with a great installation and training and we have gone on to use them in other Audio Visual projects.
