My classroom was recently outfitted with a new Smart flat panel interactive display. The students were thrilled with this new tool they had to learn with, and immediately started exploring its possibilities. However, a problem soon presented itself. The display is height adjustable, but unfortunately, it doesn't lower enough for our littlest students to take full advantage of the entire panel. Placing this 18 inch riser in front of the display will enable my tiniest tots to rise to the challenge of reaching and interacting with the whole board. Plus, it's small enough to move when the bigger kids come in!
