Features

SMART classroom integration. The SMART Slate enables you to interact and teach with your SMART Board interactive whiteboard or SMART Podium from anywhere in the room.

Simultaneous interaction. A student can write on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard at the same time as a classmate writes on the SMART Slate and both students' work will show up simultaneously, enabling more collaboration on the fly.

Integration with ink-aware applications. The slate enables you to write and save notes directly into ink-aware applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint.

SMART Notebook software. The SMART Slate is fully compatible with SMART Notebook software, which enables you to easily create, teach and manage interactive lessons within a single application. Your notes and graphics can be saved as objects that you can manipulate and organize. All of your work can be saved to a single file that is compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems. Support for Mac operating system coming soon.

Battery-free, tethered pen. The SMART Slate includes a battery-free, tethered pen which is used on the slate's surface to control applications, write notes and highlight information. The pen writes with precision and has a user-defined shortcut button and dedicated eraser. Since there are no batteries in the pen, it's maintenance free.

Printed underlay. With the SMART Slate, you'll have access to printable sheets that you can fit under the plastic cover of the surface. Each underlay features customizable icons that are organized into a toolbar. Simply touch an icon with the slate's pen to choose the tool you want, such as the pen, eraser, right-click or screen capture.

Electromagnetic surface. The 6.8" x 4.26" (17.3 cm x 10.8 cm) electromagnetic screen only recognizes the pen as an input, so you can rest your hand on the screen naturally. The active area becomes proportional to any screen size for accurate contact.

Programmable buttons. The three customizable buttons on the slate and the user-defined rocker switch on the pen provide easy access your favorite functions.

Rechargeable lithium-polymer battery. The slate's battery has a charge time of 6.5 hours, and a battery life of at least 24 hours of continuous use. Plus, the slate has a physical power switch to ensure that the battery doesn't drain during periods of non-use.

USB cable. Conveniently charge the slate's battery by attaching it to your computer with the included USB cable.

Ergonomic and portable design. The slate has a small, light form factor for improved ergonomics and easy transport around the classroom.

Kensington security lock. If you need to secure the slate in a room, the Kensington security lock provides an easy way to attach a lock-and-cable apparatus.

International language support. The SMART Slate supports nine languages, including English (US and UK), Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Mexican Spanish, Russian, Arabic and Castilian (European) Spanish.
