SMART Technologies, Inc. (SMT) to Release SMART Notebook App for iPad

Leading collaboration solutions provider SMART Technologies announced the impending release of the SMART Notebook app for iPad. This app allows students to use SMART Notebook collaborative learning software on their iPads, facilitating a seamless transition between whole class, small group, and personal learning. The app also enables both student and educator iPad users to utilize the engaging lesson material of SMART Notebook software anytime, anywhere.

The optimum choice for lesson creation and delivery, SMART Notebook software has been activated by more than 6 million teachers in 175 countries for use in classes with more than 40 million students. Equipped with the SMART Notebook app on their iPads, students will be able to use many of the software tools available on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, including opening any SMART Notebook file from an e-mail file-sharing Web site and then writing, erasing, adding text, moving objects, and inserting images. Students can additionally use the iPad camera roll to drop images into SMART Notebook software pages, and they can use their iPads to review material, complete activities, and then save and e-mail them back to their teachers for evaluation. By wirelessly streaming the iPad content using AirPlay with an Apple TV, teachers can then use the SMART Board interactive whiteboard to display student material for whole-class learning.

SMART Notebook remains the software of choice for educators desiring to infuse interactivity into their daily lessons. Utilizing the SMART Notebook iPad app, teachers and their students can save time and stay on track by working with the same material on both interactive displays and iPads. This cutting-edge technology facilitates learning and engagement that goes beyond the classroom.

The SMART Notebook iPad app will be available for purchase from the Apple app store in summer 2012. Features of the app include the ability to view, add, or delete SMART Notebook software pages; use two fingers to adjust the view of the SMART Notebook software page; insert images from the iPad camera roll; use the highlighter or pen tools to write on the SMART Notebook software page; have object control to delete, rotate, move, and scale objects; share iPad screens via AirPlay; and utilize language support that, in addition to English, will by fall of 2012 include Spanish, UK English, French, and German.
