SMART Notebook: Hasn't Really Changed since I used it as a Student

Community Review for SMART Notebook
My Take
As an Early Childhood Education Undergraduate student, I did not see a value in implementing this technology in the classroom. It was hard to navigate and use. I want technology to be a help, not a hindrance. I could not get the programs to work in an effective manner that could benefit the classroom.
How I Use It
I explored various SMART Notebook applications and was very displeased with the results. It has not updated since 2009 on the application. Most of the other programs did not work on the newer touch screen whiteboards. I could see using touch screens for many activities, but not SMARt Notebook.

While originally innovative, this product leaves a lot to be desired.
