What you see above is the SMART Table that somewhat resembles the Microsoft Surface, although this multitouch table was developed specifically for kids. It is readily available to schools and educational institutions that have the dough to spare, as each table is not cheap at $8,000 albeit with half a dozen applications accompanying it. Teachers will find themselves greatly aided by using the SMART Table Toolkit on their PC or Mac to churn out customized activities which can be transferred over to the table thanks to a USB flash drive. Apart from that, you can also check out free applications and activities available for download over the website. What about kids in poorer countries – they will have to find another way to engage the kids in the classroom, we guess.
