This is all done using student devices and while tracking contributions from each student, so educators have insight into who is contributing what. Why SMART AMP? Students work together in the collaborative workspace. Contribute to the workspace from anywhere, at any time. Provides the same experience on tablets, laptops and interactive displays. Take over the workspace at any time to demonstrate and describe work to students. Import SMART Notebook lessons, view them in full screen, export pages and write over them. Import your Google Classroom class lists directly. They update automatically.
