Smart table heading for UK schools

The Smart table is a device that as the title explains a table with a built in monitor that points vertically like an old video game table.

These Smart table’s will be appearing in UK classrooms sometime in the spring, this release is earlier than first expected and may have an effect on the schools budgets, considering that the price per Smart table is around £6,000.

The device could help schools and teaching staff, but there is a need to have a lot of these tables and not just the odd one.

Teachers are able download lessons from their computer onto a flash drive and then the lesson is installed on each table ready for the pupils to start work.
