At this school, chalkboards are ancient history

It may sound like an average school day, but lessons at David Livingstone are anything but traditional. Principal David Brook is proud to call it a "21st-century school" and the Vancouver School Board seems to agree, having recently named it a District Technology Inquiry School. It is the hub for SMART technology in Vancouver: Touch-sensitive, interactive whiteboards that connect to computers and digital projectors are in every classroom.

The SMART board replaces the chalk- or whiteboard and can be written on in the same way as a traditional teaching aid. But at the flick of a switch it is connected to a computer and becomes interactive, with the teacher able to pull up graphics and charts from a database, search the Internet and make use of video streaming to bring a subject to life.

Airliners are even better ..
SMART’s AirLiner wireless slate enables you to teach from anywhere and allows students to interact with information from their seats. Multiple slate users can write at the same time as someone at the SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
