Hi, Sara.

Thanks! I have a couple of questions. What age group of students are currently using the tables?

Where are you located?

We are located in Davie County, North Carolina and currently have two tables that are rotating between kindergarten through forth grade. The tables have spent the most time in second and kindergarten, but we have seen all grade levels interact. One of the tables has even spent time in our High School self contained classroom, where the students had a wonderful time since the table provides immediate feedback for touch and concepts.

I'm in Union County, NC. Did your district use ARRA funds for the tables?

I am a the second grade teacher that was able to have a beta table in my classroom. We worked with smart using the table starting last Jan. I currently still have a table in my room. The kids are loving it! I have attempted to upload a video showing the student engagement, but it is not wanting to upload. I'll make another attempt on Monday while at school. Sara and I presented at the Concord Regional SMART User Conference in NC yesterday. I think we met some folks from Union County.
