Samsung, SMART Technologies Collaborate to Help Students Build Crucial 21st-Century Skills

The two companies have joined forces to create the SMART Samsung Chromebook 3 Bundle aimed to enhance student-led learning and provide teachers with real-time visibility into the learning process.

January 20, 2016 Rachel Quetti Leave a Comment

In an effort to help students build on the necessary communication and collaboration skills they need to succeed in the world, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. and SMART Technologies, Inc., have partnered to provide schools with the opportunity to purchase a classroom-wide package that includes several Samsung Chromebook 3 devices, associated licenses for SMART amp and access to SMART’s online professional development. The bundle is also fully integrated with Google Classroom and Apps for Education.

Chromebooks have become an extremely popular tool in K-12 classrooms due to its ease of use, low cost and simple manageability. With the purchase of the Samsung/SMART package, schools are able to utilize Samsung’s Chromebooks as well as SMART amp, a cloud-based solution available on any browser-enabled device.

SMART amp connects numerous devices in the classroom such as interactive displays, PCs, laptops, and tablets while allowing students and teachers to collaborate and co-create in real time. SMART amp also enables teachers to provide in-class assessments, and students can connect to shared digital workspaces and interact with web-based learning materials from any location and device.

The SMART Samsung Chromebook 3 Bundle aims to provide educators with the tools and training needed to create a shift towards student-led learning and to improve the “4 Cs” (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity), both in and outside of the classroom.

There is a great need for schools to provide students with learning opportunities that will help them build on necessary 21st-Century learning skills. SMART and Samsung’s bundle not only provides schools with hardware and software needed to help teach these skills, but it also provides educators with the necessary training to ensure they are using the technology to best support student learning and collaboration.

It is this feature of the bundle that sets it apart from other technology packages that do not address the professional development aspects of technology integration. While all schools should be providing tech-focused professional development, purchasing technology that includes a training and professional development feature adds great value to a school’s investment.

The next time your school is looking to make a tech purchase, consider whether or not the technology will help prepare educators with the knowledge and training they will need to provide students with the most optimal learning experience. Professional development features can help save schools a lot of time and money, and will most importantly prepare educators to use the technology in a way that will make a significant impact on students’ learning and educational experiences.
