I have been using a Smartboard and Smart Notebook for years, since it was one  
of the few options years ago. It has worked well for me. I archive the notebook,  
which is created during classtime,  so that students can view it online from home.  
Smartboard's express.smarttech.com makes it easy to access the notebook through  
a web browser.

My only frustration is that ever since the latest update last year, I can no longer  
type accents directly from the keyboard. I have been in contact with Smarttech  
about this several times and they cannot give me a timeline for a fix. Their support  
used to be amazing, but recently I have found it lacking for foreign language  
issues.

We are looking at a new school wide standard, and if Smarttech does not fix the  
issue with diacritical marks, I will be looking for an alternative.
