Smartypants aka SMART Board

After viewing several digital tutorials I was fascinated to learn of the additional aspects I had never seen. One in particular: Flipchart which allows the user to link subject/picture/map,etc on the screen with internet for more information at the moment. You can also drag an "answer" and it will not accept it if the answer is incorrect.

A new item, SMART Table, seems geared toward grade and middle schools and allows for group interaction. This provides a variety of learning/educational possibilities. The only downside I thought of is the sharing aspect. As with toys, equipment, etc in a classroom there is always the issue (especially at grade school level) of not wanting to share the item. The SMART Table has the potential to be fought over, with all its bells and whistles.
