SMART Technologies is an interactive products company, best known for its interactive, touchscreen whiteboard, which can be hooked up to a computer and projector. The computer screen is projected onto the board where you can use a finger to touch menu buttons and control applications or write on the board with a finger or pen tool. Everything done on the SMART Board is digital, so it can be saved to an electronic file, modified, reused or repurposed, as needed.
SMART Board interactive whiteboards lead the interactive whiteboard category with a 58% share in the United States and 47% globally[3].
