Week 4: Powerful Collaboration with SMART Amp

Smart Amp is an easy-to-use cloud based application that allows students to collaborate and co-create content from any device, anywhere with Internet access.  It builds upon the concept of Google Docs but offers so much flexibility in what and how you create.
  • Students work together to co-create content on a digital canvas with any device, enabling contribution and collaboration from anywhere, at anytime.
  • Teachers create interactive and engaging lessons.  The intuitive interface and experiences means that students interact with the lessons, content and projects in natural, authentic ways - inside and outside the classroom.
  • Teachers can watch collaboration as it unfolds and better understand, assess and guide students, without having to interrupt learning.
  • Teachers can move between whole class, individual and small-group learning activities, as well as project-based or flipped lesson activities, without wasting class time.
