The Clevertouch’s software includes:
1. The interface/LUX – Clevertouch comes with an Android browser that will mirror the district’s content filtering, so students won’t be able to access something they shouldn’t. Teachers can utilize the internet’s plentiful resources in building lessons, and LUX makes it a cinch. Through the browser, teachers can grab any media, be it image, video or sound clip, and import it directly into Lynx, the Clevertouch’s whiteboarding software.
2. Lynx – Lynx is the program teachers will likely spend most of their time in. It is the Clevertouch’s lesson delivery and whiteboarding program, and makes for an effective collaboration tool, as well. With Lynx, educators can write, using the sophisticated handwriting recognition software built into Lynx. Lynx can also create shapes, put together sentence diagrams, pop open a calendar or timer, and effectively offer limitless space for teachers to organize concepts. Lynx can be used for math or spelling games, to teach colors, letters or numbers, introduce advanced ideas using content grabbed from the web, and get the entire class involved in brainstorming.
3. Clevermaths – Clevermaths takes the Lynx concept and makes it math-focused. With Clevermaths, teachers can graph equations, visualize geometric and trigonometric principles, teach things like angles, fractions and algebra, and perform a host of simulated scientific experiments. Clevermaths is controlled much like Lynx, so it is intuitive for both teachers and students to handle. Clevermaths is also a robust piece of scientific software, as it can be used to simulate an array of science experiments and principles. This includes experiments using a host of simulated chemistry and physics implements, like a distiller, an alcohol burner or a voltmeter.
4. Snowflake – Snowflake is a second lesson delivery program, though it has business applications as well. It benefits from extensive content additions from other teachers. With Snowflake, teachers can pull lesson ideas and even entire lessons from other educators, which makes Snowflake a massive piece of collaborative teaching software. Snowflake is also ideal for brainstorming and concept building, as Snowflake uses nodes to connect items together. Snowflake can also transform the Clevertouch into a multi-zone display, so several students can work independently on the same screen. This is perfect for art classes and classes with young students, who may be learning different things at different speeds.
5. Cleverstore – The Cleverstore is one of a kind among interactive flat panels, in that it gives educators access to an application store. Except in this case, all of the apps are free and all of the apps have an education focus. Any premium unlockable features are already unlocked, and applications are added to the Cleverstore regularly. With it, teachers can augment their lessons with additional content or quickly fashion new lessons with the Cleverstore’s help.
