SMART Classroom Suite
With the addition of SMART Classroom Suite as standard* the Fizzbook Spin is set apart from other classroom devices. With the Fizzbook Spin and Classroom Suite you can be sure that children will turn, touch, play and learn.
This powerful piece of software enables
teachers to take control of the Fizzbooks in
their classroom. With familiar and easy to use
creation tools, teachers can deliver lessons
which include whole class, group and
individual interactive activities. There is also
the added option of turning their Fizzbook into
an assessment tool using SMART’s
assessment software – SMART Response
CE. All the elements you need to personalise
students learning are combined in the
Fizzbook and you’ll soon be wondering how
you taught without them.
A typical day with SMART Classroom Suite
A typical day with SMART Classroom Suite might start with the teacher creating a multimedia lesson activity within SMART Notebook. Then, using SMART Sync, the teacher would share the lesson with all the students in the class.
The students would then open the lesson activity with SMART Notebook SE and write notes or complete a planned activity before submitting their work back to the teacher.
Finally, with SMART Response CE, the teacher could send a quiz to students to assess how much of the material they understood. All the while, continuing to monitor student activity and interacting with individuals, groups or the entire class using SMART Sync.
* The Fizzbook Spin comes with the student edition of SMART Classroom Suite. By purchasing 18 or more Fizzbooks the teacher license required to fully utilise the software is free. For purchases of less than 18 devices please contact us to discuss the bespoke pricing available.
