S-curve

Type in the content of your page here. For my project I will show the growth of the Smartboard. Thru technology change, the smartboard has become a piece of equipment use in classroom, lectures, and business meeting. The increase is displayed in a “S-curve”. The S Curve is a well known project management tool and it consists in "a display of cumulative costs, labour hours or other quantities plotted against time". The name derive from the S-like shape of the curve, flatter at the beginning and end and rise in the middle, because this is the way most of the projects look like.

1987- The Smartboard company was established in Alberta Canada, SMART Technologies is the industry pioneer and market leader in creating highly technical products for classrooms and meeting rooms. Founded in 1987 by partners David Martin and Nancy Knowlton, 1992- The company formed an alliance with a U.S. computer giant called Intel. This merger resulted in joint product development, joint marketing efforts and Intel's equity ownership in SMART. 2007-SMART launches ”Senteo” a student response system. This system includes a handheld unit for each student in a classroom and a central receiver for the teachers to send information out to each device and receive information back from the student. The system increases one-to-one interaction by allowing teachers to engage students and collect responses to personalize the learning environment.
