Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
SMART is a calgary, Alberta based company, where our science centre is. We
have 2 SMARTboards that were donated to us. We use them in our public
programming a little bit. Every single school in Calgary has one in every
classroom, so the appeal is a little low for us. The technology has really
improved, and ours are a little out of date.
Some of the software they have developed is useful - for example they have a
lot of anatomy stuff, etc. However, we tend to use them most as giant
monitors :) We looked into getting some staff training, but it's $3000 for
a custom day session.
Some of the ones installed in classrooms had an arm that came out. BEWARE
because these create a shadow, and were very frustrating for
teachers/educators. Make sure not to get that model.
