What is SMART Table Interface

The development of new technologies enables learners to learn more effectively, efficiently, flexibly, and comfortably. The utilization of the SMART Table, a multi-touch table that can capture and identify numerous objects simultaneously when placed on its surface, can provide a more interactive and participative environment in classrooms. This chapter examined the perceptions of using SMART Table in the elementary classroom. The expectations were that SMART Table applications will help to enhance, engage, and support elementary students in their learning. Data was collected through means of observation, student work samples, survey, and personal interview. The findings suggest that there are many benefits for educators to incorporate the SMART Table into daily instruction at elementary classrooms. Increased student engagement, increased peer collaboration, and strengthening comprehension are some of those key benefits. The study implications determined that the SMART Table can provide elementary students with an engaging outlet of instruction.
