SMART Board SBM685 - 87" Interactive Whiteboard 

Create collaborative learning opportunities throughout your classroom with the Smartboard M600, the evolution of the world’s favorite interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard includes a one year subscription to Smart Learning Suite / Notebook, a powerful and user friendly tool for educators to create content for the classroom.

Intuitive control

By simply using a finger or pen, students can enjoy writing, erasing or performing mouse functions. Bring lesson content to life using Smartboard’s intuitive gestures, such as flick, rotate and zoom, making interaction more natural for teachers. Dual touch gestures are quickly becoming the intuitive way to interact with content, providing a consistent experience from your tablet device to your large format classroom display.

Dual touch collaboration

Student collaboration is enhanced with the board’s dual touch capabilities, which allow two students to naturally collaborate and simultaneously interact with lesson content using pens, their fingers or other objects.

The Smartboard M600’s freestyle interaction provides a simple and adaptable way of maintaining lesson momentum. It enables two students to instantly start working together without having to switch to a multi-user mode, or work in confined areas of the surface. This allows teachers to provide innovative and adaptive lesson content, while still maintaining class attention levels.

Powerful software

Teachers can easily create and deliver engaging interactive lessons and then save notes or content from those lessons to share with students using Smart Notebook collaborative learning software. Notebook is also able to easily link to a variety of classroom technologies and student devices, creating interactive learning that flows throughout the classroom.

Several packages available

The Smart M600 requires both a computer and projector to operate. To simplify the ordering process, Touchboards offers several packages with projectors, as well as other very popular accessories.

There are two types of packages:

• Group 1 (denoted by UST)
  • Includes Maxell ultra short throw projector with wall mount
  • Includes wireless adapter for projector (eliminates HDMI cable)
• Group 2 (denoted by UST v2)
  • Same as group 1, but adds two things
  • Elmo OX-1 document camera
  • Qomo TWP-1700 wireless access point (enables participants in the room to share their wireless device to the board)

An ultra short throw projector mounts directly above the board and projects from a very short distance. This is very useful in that it reduces shadows cast by the arms and body of the presenter.
