===For my classroom I would have to suggest that one purchase the Smart Board. It seems to me that the value is definitely worth the purchase. The content in the software is comparable. The ease of use is comparable. The price of the Smart Board is lower. I also like the fact that the Smart Board can still use other equipment that is not Smart. This too me seems like it is a better deal as I would be able to shop around for tools to go along with my board and get the better deal, knowing that it will still work with my product. I also find that the price including installation and training is a true benefit to every classroom. ===
