Samsung Eboard: Anyone have experience?

[Andie]

Does anyone have experience of the Samsung Eboard in a classroom setting? Can you use it with SMARTboard software? Have you got it on a height adjustable mount? How robust/reliable has it been? Thanks.

Samsung E board is one of many large format touchscreens on the market, which are starting to replace interactive whiteboards in fairly large numbers now. Using with Smart software will very much depend on which version you are using currently, the newer versions of Notebook can only be used with a purchased licence otherwise you can get a watermark on the screen. However there are many alternatives to Notebook available, for example you now get annotation tools in MS Word. Height adjust is possible with appropriate stands. Most large format touchscreens are very robust, using toughened glass.

 

You may do well to look at the more popular brands for touchscreen, the Clevertouch and CTOUCH. These are priced more competitively, offer good software, and the CTOUCH is genuinely multi-touch to replicate the user experience of a tablet. Your AV supplier should be able to give you pricing and the opportunity for an on-site demonstration.
