Matt Granger Revolution Member Bret Rocks the House!

Bret Gensberg did two Smart Board sessions this morning at NECC. I'm sorry to say I missed the first one, but I'm glad I went to the second! He is a phenomenal speaker. He brings passion to his subject, which happened to be the Smart Board. According to him he "Eats, sleeps, and breaths Smart Board" and people give him money to buy more. He is available to come do professional development onsite for you, so if you are looking for a funny, passionate, and practical Smart related PD, contact him.… Continue

Matt Granger Senteo 2.0 is Coming!

And it's free if you already have Senteo response systems! Coming late summer, August probably, is the new Senteo 2.0 software. It's a big improvement. You can still get questions in as easily. The big change is the management side. There will be an integrated gradebook. You can tag students with demographic information to sort data by groups and compare their results to other groups or class average. You can import other grades from other sources (not sure of details on that) into the gradeboo… Continue

Matt Granger Smart Document Camera

Yes, I have the identical ELMO, but it will not work with the doc camera button on the Notebook 10 tool bar. It takes a few more clicks. The firmware is different and can't be updated. Bummer. That said, "Cool! " However, if you are going to get document cameras, take a serious look at the Smart camera. Its sister, the ELMO camera, works great. The arm rotates and you can pretty much get to any angle or side of a 3D object. You just can't get to the bottom. :-( The picture is excellent and the… Continue

Matt Granger Got Plasma?

Coming in August (don't hold me to that--just a date given to me at the booth) will be a frame that can go around a plasma TV up to 65". It uses the cameras in the corners, like the big rear projection models they have, to turn your plasma TV into a Smart Board! Hook the display to your computer and that's what you have. They said that this is an example of "future proof" technology. That means that it is something that will work in the future because the price of the plasmas that big will be fa… Continue

Matt Granger Smart at NECC

I stopped by the Smart booth at NECC yesterday...cool stuff coming down the pike. One of the coolest is mode switching, or as it officially called, smart touch. How many of us have done this: you have the pen in your hand and then touch the board to move an object and draw a line instead? Come on, be honest. We've all done it. That is soon to be a thing of the past. Mode switching will make the board "smart" enough to know the difference between the pen tip, finger nail, finger pad, and whole ha… Continue
