CHAPTER 2
Working with SMART Table Toolkit
Customizing Hot Spaces
You can create custom activities in Hot Spaces to complement your curriculum. For example, if your
class is studying the four seasons, you can create areas or spaces on the table to represent each
season and have students identify labels or images that are associated with each season.
Add touch-to-hear audio to labels or images so that students can press objects on the table and hear
text read or spelled or sound files played. For example, when they press an image or text label of a
cat, students hear “cat,” “C-A-T” or the sound “meow.”
You can customize Hot Spaces by doing the following:
l
Add a background image
l
Define the Hot Spaces
l
Add text labels and images
l
Add touch-and-hear audio
l
Set the start and end positions of text labels and images
l
Add instructions for students
