An impressive introduction to digital learning, the SMART Board 480 interactive whiteboard offers natural touch functionality, which makes it easy for students and teachers to use and will help enable quick and successful adoption. Like all SMART Board interactive whiteboards, the 480 is part of a comprehensive solution that includes support, professional development, classroom content and a community of peers, so teachers feel comfortable using the 480 and integrating it into their teaching.

The key to the SMART Board 480 interactive whiteboard is touch. Teachers and students can write, erase, move objects and control applications using a finger or a pen. And with the 480, delivering dynamic lessons is easy. Teachers can present material featuring large, vibrant images. Kinesthetic and visual learners benefit from interacting with lesson content – moving letters, numbers, words and pictures with their fingers. And students with special needs benefit by being able to see, read and manipulate information more easily.

The key to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard is touch. Write, erase, move objects and control applications by touching or writing on the interactive whiteboard. You can also write with a pen, erase with your palm and move objects with your finger without having to press buttons, access on-screen menus or replace tools in the Pen Tray. Our Touch Recognition feature makes it possible.

Discover free, ready-to-use educational resources on the SMART Exchange website.

Teachers can connect with colleagues in their districts or around the globe to exchange lesson activities, ideas, insights and success stories. Teachers can also add flexibility to lessons by using the 480 to access the Internet or integrate multimedia content. They can explore a website with their students, give a science presentation or take their class on a virtual field trip without ever leaving the interactive whiteboard.
