SMART Education Shortcuts, under Technology, is a quick access to popular SMART pages. The page includes EDCompassnewsletter, The SMART Exchange(classroom-ready resources), SMART TeacherTube channel (videos created by educators and SMART experts), SMART YouTube channel, and Customer Support.

SMART Education Shortcuts can also be found under www.education.smarttech.com . This page offers a link to several newsletters. My favorite was Support Link, which gave helpful tips.

Also added under Technology is SMART Online and Toolkits. I mysteriously lost these and spent a lot of time searching for them. Online returned as mysteriously as it left, but toolkits was somehow deleted. To save future grief, I
tagged them in my web lists.
