Click here to view a video of the Smart Response LE Systems in Action. We do not have a set of these, but would love to have a set for kindergarten!
We have two sets of the response systems for the older children and would love to get more. Each set costs approximately $1500.00 for a set of 25.
A Smartboard for a classroom costs approximately $3500.00.
All donations are greatly appreciated (and are tax deductible)!!!!! Please consider making a donation to help us acquire more Smartboards for our classrooms!!
