The SMART Learning Space is your gateway to free, online training sessions covering over 20 topics. This online system provides convenient access to all SMART training resources, including our award-winning Two-Minute Tutorials that allow customers to watch and listen to instructions as they follow along. There are also print training resources, such as Quick Reference Guides and Hands-on Practice exercises. You can complete them at your own pace anytime that's convenient for you.

SMART's complimentary webinars address current issues of interest to administrators and technology coordinators. Hear firsthand from other administrators as they share their experiences and best practices on topics such as budgeting, ROI and professional development.

Due to the support of many satisfied customers who use SMART products every day, a dynamic and growing online community has developed across wikis, blogs and social networks. Educators, students and parents are all finding space for dialogue about SMART. From online discussions on Facebook to teacher-created websites for educators who use SMART products, numerous sites support the exchange of ideas, best practices and education and networking information.

When teachers find something fun and effective for student learning, they're often eager to tell other teachers about it. That's what the SMART Exemplary Educator program is all about. This SMART-sponsored program recognizes teachers who use technology every day to improve student learning. SMART Exemplary Educators share ideas with colleagues at their schools and with other educators who attend teacher conferences. They also have the chance to participate in SMART's professional development events to take their technology skills even further.
