  2. SMART Boards: Need • To provide active, hands-on learning experiences that will prepare students for future leadership roles • To hone the skills of today’s technologically savvy students • To facilitate engaging lectures in face-to-face and distance learning environments • To efficiently accommodate a diverse group of learners who embody various learning preferences • To operate in conjunction with computer applications used to present, display, manipulate, share, interpret, and analyze data in pre-existing documents, multi-media presentations and other online resources. http://smarttech.com/us/About+SMART/About+SMART/Innovation/Beginnings+of+an+industry

  3. SMART Boards: ResearchA Data Driven Diffusion… • In 1986, David Martin and Nancy Knowlton had a discussion about developing an interactive whiteboard that could create “magic” through its innovative features. One year later, the SMART organization was founded. • Most of the research on SMART Boards has been led by affiliates of school districts, universities and educational scholars. • Research findings indicate that students that hands on manipulation of data heightened student ability to make connections between content and background knowledge. In addition, the SMART board is considered a powerful teaching aid that is visually appealing and increases student attentiveness. These positive findings led to the SMART Board’s production. http://downloads01.smarttech.com/media/research/smart_research_summary.pdf

  4. SMART Boards: Development Problems that hindered the development of SMART boards in early phases were as follows: • The SMART company was not financially secure and had limited alliances with corporations, and • The parameters by which the SMART board would operate had not been established. http://smarttech.com/us/About+SMART/About+SMART/Innovation/Beginnings+of+an+industry

  5. SMARTBOARDS: Commercialization SMART Boards are manufactured by SMART Technologies. They are distributed either directly or indirectly through the founding company. In addition, SMART Boards may also be purchased through distribution companies used for educational and corporate purposes. All of the components are shipped in one package per unit. Due to its popularity and effectiveness, the SMART Board markets itself. However, professional development workshops and training courses are also available to heighten SMART Board awareness and accelerate its diffusion. http://www.touchboards.com/smartboards/SmartSB680i.asp
