Interactive whiteboard software update

SMART Technologies Inc. announces SMART Notebook 10.7 collaborative learning software. The latest version supports multiuser writing and common multitouch gestures, including one- and two-finger gestures like pinching, zooming and tossing. Version 10.7 also supports freestyle interaction and object awareness. Freestyle interaction enables two students to work together on the same interactive lesson and perform different tasks simultaneously, such as writing with digital ink and manipulating digital objects, anywhere on the surface of the SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard. Object awareness enables users to interact with digital content using their fingers, pens, fists or erasers interchangeably. Version 10.7 will be available for download in March 2011 at no additional cost to licensed SMART Notebook software users.
