Hello Slate. Where have you been?
The SimplicitySlate is one of the least expensive components of an interactive classroom, yet it delivers so much value. It allows you to be mobile in your classroom, interacting with students and media from anywhere in the room. It fits seamlessly into your existing instruction plan because it works with the tools you already use, such as: PowerPoint, your favorite whiteboard software, and just about any application on your computer. Once you start using a slate to manage your classroom instruction you won’t want to go back to being tethered to your whiteboard or computer. Try one and experience it for yourself.
Just about anything you hold for a long time starts to feel heavy. More than one teacher has thanked us for the light weight of our design. At well under one pound it may be the lightest most comfortable slate you’ll ever hold.
Gone are the days of tricky installations and constant connection problems. The SimplicitySlate uses reliable RF wireless to keep the slate connected to the computer. There isn’t even a driver to install. Just plug in the tiny USB dongle and power on the slate.
Attention to the little things make a big difference.
