Interactive software exchange opens

SMART Technologies Inc., announces an e-commerce store on the SMART Exchange website (exchange.smarttech.com ). The store will provide content and applications created by education publishers and available for purchase online.

Education publishers are invited to create content for the store, including lesson activities for SMART Notebook™ collaborative learning software, gallery manipulatives for use on the SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard, and content and applications for the SMART Table™ interactive learning center. When visitors to the website search for relevant content, they will see both free content and subject-related publisher titles that can be previewed and purchased online via the store. Publisher-created content will be accredited by the SMART Software and Content Accreditation Program (SCAP), ensuring that every title is compatible with the SMART Board interactive whiteboard or another SMART hardware product.
