SMART Airliner Slate
• The SMART Slate brings new possibilities to your classroom by giving you and your students the freedom to interact with digital content from anywhere in the room.  The SMART Slate connects wirelessly to your computer. On its own, the SMART Slate functions easily with a computer and projector and will further enhance whole-class, small-group, and individual instruction.
• Reach all the students in your classroom by handing them the Slate at their desks and giving them the opportunity to solve problems or demonstrate their knowledge while their work is projected for the whole class to see.  This is an added benefit for students with limited mobility, as the slate can be moved to where they sit.
• The Slate enables you to control applications wirelessly, and as you use the pen to write on the Slate’s surface, your handwriting displays both on your computer screen and the interactive whiteboard or projector screen for the entire class to see.
• The SMART Slate seamlessly integrates with the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, SMART Podium and SMART Notebook software.
