 * = ==General Description == ||= The Smart Table is an interactive learning center that is designed, as it’s namesake, a table. It is very similar to the Smart Board or an Ipod touch with its user touch surface. It is designed as a collaborative working space for multiple users with simultaneously user touch. The SMART Table comes with a variety of applications. These applications incorporate activities that can be customized to suit your particular lesson or theme. Multiple choice, Hot Spot, Hot Spaces, Media, Paint, Addition, Addition Plus, and Puzzles are the basic features. Each of these applications is customizable. ||
 * = ==Teacher/Student Use == ||= When it works properly //(sorry, had to be said)// it is a useful “turn on and go” piece of technology. There are a variety of pre-programmed activities, making the student use an easy transition for students. Managing the number of students and variety of activities is an easy task for either the student or teacher. ||
 * = ==Things to Know Before You Go == ||= I have been openly critical about the technology. But, that being said, it is a cool technology. Students enjoy using the table. The Smart Table Tool Kit allows the teacher/presenter a user-friendly application to build and adjust activities. Also, there are some sites online that have helpful and useful downloads. I would comment, that it is probably used best will K-3. Some of my 5th Graders feel that they are “more advanced” then this technology ||
