Interactive learning – without boundaries

With Bridgit software, learning becomes an engaging experience where students anywhere can collaborate and interact with each other as if they were face-to-face.

Teachers can share the content on their SMART Board® interactive whiteboard or computer with the entire class. And students can work in small groups using computers or personal devices, such as iPads. The SMART Bridgit conferencing software app for iPad allows students to see everything that's being shared – they can even write over the content to highlight information or exchange ideas.
