But at SMART\u2019s Exemplary Educators (SEE) Summit and Hackathon, participants are there for a different reason. The event brings together an international group of educators, students, and SMART developers to improve their products for the classroom. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The process begins months in advance by sorting participants into small groups. They then meet for the first time via videoconference and throw out a few ideas. Developers might reveal a few things they\u2019ve been working on, while teachers and students mention aspects of SMART devices they like, things that can be improved, or features they\u2019d like to see.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-7318\" src=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/smart-technologies-s-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"smart technologies\" width=\"740\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/smart-technologies-s-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/smart-technologies-s-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/smart-technologies-s-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/smart-technologies-s-223x148.jpg 223w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/smart-technologies-s-360x241.jpg 360w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/smart-technologies-s.jpg 1134w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>The Contributions of SMART Exemplary Educators<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">All participants sign an NDA to keep new developments under wraps. But Donna Hafner, who has taught in public schools in San Antonio and Round Rock, TX for the last 32 years, saw the hack her team developed last year become a reality shortly after. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The idea emerged out of wanting to be able to collaborate with remotely located students and classrooms in the same digital space. A few months later, SMART Workspaces emerged, which allows learners to do just that. The outcome for Hafner wasn\u2019t just useful for the classroom, it was gratifying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI remember thinking, \u2019Wait a minute \u2014 that was my idea. That was my thinking. And they really listened,\u2019\u201d Hefner said. \u201cTo know that a developer, somebody that is not in education, is listening to what the classroom teacher is saying, to know that my voice is being heard, to open it up in the classroom and say, \u2018Yeah, I had a part in this,\u2019 is really an awesome feeling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Collecting International Perspectives<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another instructive aspect of SMART\u2019s SEE Summit is the perspective of educators from around the world. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7320 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_9357-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"smart technologies\" width=\"381\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_9357-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_9357-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_9357-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_9357-223x148.jpg 223w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/img_9357-360x241.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" \/>\u201cWe have people from all around the world,\u201d said Philip Pan, a student at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Herndon, VA. \u201cListening to the different needs of the educators based upon their classroom set up, the logistics of their school districts, was<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>really unique because each one of them brought in a specific need that they wanted to achieve by the end of the end of the Hackathon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">An issue as small as whether or not to include student names in online groups or workspaces, for example, gets controversial. Many North American educators need to put an emphasis on student data security and often push to have no names. But elsewhere in the world, educators want student names attached. They want to be able to see who is participating. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The summit wrapped up last week, but the collaboration is not over. \u201cDuring this summit, students and groups of educators get to work with our developers, but it goes far beyond just this week,\u201d said Katie Novak, Brand Marketing Manager at SMART. \u201cIt\u2019s not just gathering ideas and having fun. Our whole<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>product development team take very seriously the feedback that\u2019s given and the ideas gathered here this week during the Hackathon. Frequently ideas that are presented here this week\u2014whether they\u2019re winning ideas or not\u2014are worked into our software.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And for educators, the experience is invaluable to see how SMART products can be used in the classroom. &#8220;<span class=\"s1\">I\u2019m going home this year, like I did last year, with a brain full of new ideas and new things that I can use in my room, new ways to incorporate Smart software and hardware to get my students to achieve the best that they can,&#8221; Hafner said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At annual Edtech conferences, participants often attend to hear about a company\u2019s newest products, network, or even get the word out about their own business.
