Louise Robinson-Lay commented on Lance Johnson's blog post Your opinions on SMART?"I think that Smart has more resources, more support and is also easier to prepare lessons on. I have used others and found that they did not have features like export to pdf and record. I have not used Promethean so can't compare."
Lindsey Al commented on Lance Johnson's blog post Your opinions on SMART?"Have you seen the new dual-touch SMART Board? Two students, writing and touching one board, simultaneously! http://bit.ly/cVVqNo"
Lindsey Al commented on Lance Johnson's blog post Your opinions on SMART?"SMART Technologies Inc. is the world leader in interactive whiteboards and award-winning products like the SMART Board.
SMART is so much more than just these number one statistics. Professional educators can depend on SMART sellers like SmartEd…"
David Farquhar commented on Lance Johnson's blog post Your opinions on SMART?"Couldn't tell you anything about the Promethean Board, but I do enjoy my SmartBoard. It is easy to use, has lots of cool "ready-made" items, lessons, and fun things. Check with the people at Illinois Computing Educators (ICE). They…"
"To be honest, I have only written on a Promethean Board once. Then I was talking to another district's tech person and he said that he had to design math tools for his district. I told him that SMARTboards came with math tools - as many and a…"
Elizabeth Peters commented on Lance Johnson's blog post Your opinions on SMART?"I don't know anything about Promethian boards but I do know that we use SMART boards in our K- 5 setting and I as the school counselor have updated several of my lessons into smart board technology. Even Kindergarteners can use the smart board…"

Lance Johnson's blog post was featuredYour opinions on SMART?
Hi all. I'm an account manager with a regional IT company that supports EDU. I'm not trying to sell anything but would like any input you can offer on your use of SMART boards. I have an area school district that I work with that has purchased Promethean boards in the past and is getting ready to buy many more this year. What I'm reading is that SMART seems to be a the top of the playing field here in the US? I don't sell either but would like to pass along the info to the school district.…See More
"It is pretty simple for me. If you want to immediately bring students to the board there is not learning curve on the SMART board. Kids can write with their fingers or anything else. The other boards have a steep learning curve and the need to…"
"It was the software that sold us. SMART seems to be really be spending time focusing on education and our needs."
Warren Apel commented on Lance Johnson's blog post Your opinions on SMART?"I love Smart NoteBook. When I have evaluated Prometheans, (or even the home-made Wii-based whiteboards) it always comes down to software for me. The reason you pay so much for a SB680 isn't the hardware, it's the software."
Anabel Salinas commented on Lance Johnson's blog post Your opinions on SMART?"I have no experience with Promethean boards. I can honestly say that I really enjoy the software that comes with the boards. That is what sold me. The board itself can be a bit annoying at times because any vibrations will cause a misalignment…"
Candace Tickle commented on Lance Johnson's blog post Your opinions on SMART?"My district evaluated both boards and went with SMART for all of the technical support, software support (gallery, toolkit, ease of use) and just the functionality of the board itself!"
Debbie Demers-Hewitt commented on Lance Johnson's blog post Your opinions on SMART?"Our board in Canada evaluated both the Promethean and SMARTboard. We went with the SMARTboard. It was much more user and kid friendly. This was very important. Too many issues with flicking wrists and always having to use a stylus. Just using your…"
