Day two of the User forum

Today the work really started, but first Breakfast. Here you see Hans de Ruijter having breakfast with the german and the finish SMART distributors .

After everybody got to know eachother better, the first presentation started on the Boat we're sailing on, the "Silja Symphony".

As you can see in the agenda Laura James (SMART Technologies) Area manager for north and western Europe) started with a NB10 demonstration and a product overview of SMARTBoard products with an explanation of how to make a classroom really interactive, using the SMARTBoard, a Sympodium, Senteo and the new SMART document camera. For most participants Senteo and the document camera were new products and everybody was very enthousiastic about them.

After this presentation Yolanda (SMART content developper) presented the new features in NB10. e.g. Magic pen, filler tool, Lesson activity Tookit and tables. Everything Yolanda presented the participants (all with laptops and NB10) wanted to try the functions directly, this led to some communcationproblems. Yolanda went on to the next item while everybody else was trying the last feature.

After Lunch Saptashiru Basu (SMART Sneteo product manager) did a Senteo Interactive respons system demonstration. Everybody got a clicker and had to answer questions Sap asked directly. like: "is this a nice boat?" most people asnwered "Yes!" From this moment on Sap was a popular man under the participants.

And now the reason why everybody joined the User forum, exchanging best practices. The group was devided into 3 smaller groups. We as distributors were convinced that some people should be cloned for SMARTBoard use. There were proper "Linda's" (my hyperactive VSV demonstration machine collegue) between them.

Here's one. documents were uploaded onto a website from which the documents were downloaded directly (where heve we seen that before)

Here you see Audrey listen and Boris at work.



later today more.
