Fact Sheet

SMART Classroom Suite

SMART Classroom Suite is an integrated software suite designed specifically for teachers and students to use in
a computer-enabled classroom. It combines four of SMART’s easy-to-use software products: SMART Notebook,
SMART Sync, SMART Notebook SE (Student Edition) and SMART Response CE.

Create. Teach. Learn. Assess.

Together, the four software components help teachers and students get maximum benefit from the other
technology products typically available in computer-enabled classrooms, such as laptops and netbooks. Teachers
can efficiently manage their classrooms and easily prepare and deliver lessons. They can also instantly assess
student understanding anytime during a class. Students can create and organize their own multimedia content,
take notes, collaborate with other students and share files with teachers.

Taking student achievement to new heights

The software suite offers teachers a variety of ways to improve student learning. Easy-to-use lesson creation tools
help them prepare engaging multimedia lessons that will keep students interested in learning. They can also deliver
interactive assessments that provide instant responses so they know when to review a concept or give students extra
help. And, teachers can keep students focused on learning because they get a thumbnail view of each computer
screen in the class.

Making it easy to engage students

SMART Classroom Suite helps teachers inspire students and encourage them to participate in learning. Because the
suite is designed specifically for teachers and students, each component has a simple, intuitive interface that makes it
easy to get started right away. The suite also makes it easy for students to take more control over their own learning.
They can take notes, create digital material for assignments and organize files in any way they like.

Offering multiple ways to teach and learn

The suite supports whole-class, small-group and individual learning by allowing teachers to easily switch from one
style of instruction to another. They can present a concept to the entire class, organize students in small groups for
collaboration and offer help to individual students, all using one integrated software suite.

Getting extra value with training and support

SMART Classroom Suite includes a variety of complimentary training resources that teachers can easily access online
anytime. Technical support is also available at no cost, making the suite an efficient, cost-effective solution.
