   I think it is something that combines or integrates SMART with Google and Apple….

   Perhaps a was to share and collaborate even more easily? I am SO excited!!!

   I can”t wait to see the next video. I wonder who Kevin”s new classmate will be!
3. Rebecca Simon on January 16, 2013 at 3:42 pm said:

   Through Kevin”s new classmate, learning will have no limits. Inspire collaboration – not only with students in the same physical classroom, but with students across the globe.
4. Kevin Willson on January 16, 2013 at 3:51 pm said:

   Can”t wait to meet Kevin”s new classmate. Knowing SMART his new classmate is going to allow his classmates to be engaged as they collaborate with one another!
5. Dan Gallagher on January 16, 2013 at 4:10 pm said:

   SMART engages our students, whoever this new classmate is, that is what they will do.
6. Alicia Gillean on January 16, 2013 at 4:11 pm said:

   I”m always excited to see the next innovation from SMART! I”m thinking this new innovation may have to do with increased integration with Apple and something with virtual learning? Not really sure. The video is a bit cryptic, but darling!
7. ifoggs on January 16, 2013 at 4:29 pm said:

   My guess is BYOD and interaction with the Boards…
   I”m VERY Excited!!
8. Patricia Marcino on January 16, 2013 at 4:29 pm said:

   My students love SMART and want all that I teach them about the many collaborative applications. Maybe Kevin”s new classmate is new software to use easily with Apple? My students are guessing also. They are as excited as I am!!!
9. Mike McGowan on January 16, 2013 at 4:43 pm said:

   I would agree that this looks to be collaboration tool coming. How much you want to bet in the last video we find out that Kevin”s new classmate is not even in the classroom but hundreds of miles away.
10. Mary T McCullagh on January 16, 2013 at 4:46 pm said:

    I am excited to see the next generation of Inspired Collaboration! I also cannot wait to for my students to experience this in my classroom…
11. Laura Bowers on January 16, 2013 at 4:58 pm said:

    On the edge of my seat!! Can”t wait for the next hint . . .
12. William Lundy on January 16, 2013 at 5:02 pm said:

    Maybe an app for Android devices? Maybe something involving Google+? Maybe both?
13. Jennifer on January 16, 2013 at 5:07 pm said:

    I think that the iPad and Smart are going to be better friends.
14. Julie on January 16, 2013 at 5:10 pm said:

    I can”t wait to see what comes next.
15. Rebecca Robins on January 16, 2013 at 5:12 pm said:

    Maybe it is a robot that will take notes for Kevin when his parents pull him out of school.
16. Nathalie Roy on January 16, 2013 at 5:17 pm said:

    SMART is always coming up with new exciting things! I wonder if this will give students the opportunity to work together from different places on the same thing – like google apps… or an different app for ipad – for kids? I can”t wait to see the next hint and to meet this new classmate!
17. Andre Bernier on January 16, 2013 at 5:26 pm said:

    What about intgrated bridgit that allows students in any class to collaborate?
18. Joey Savoy on January 16, 2013 at 5:30 pm said:

    I have a feeling that Kevin”s new classmate will be appearing in a virtual form
19. Bob Young on January 16, 2013 at 5:48 pm said:

    I think it may have something to do with increased interactivity with mobile devices and Smart products. I can”t wait to find out. Kevin – please find out some more clues!
20. Obe Hostetter on January 16, 2013 at 6:17 pm said:

    Integrate Ipads to remotely control a SMART Board or 3D augmented reality…..
21. Melanie Corn on January 16, 2013 at 6:18 pm said:

    I don”t have a clue as to what Kevin is going to find but I”m very excited to get the next clue!!
22. Stacey Platt on January 16, 2013 at 6:23 pm said:

    Clever. I wonder if it will turn out to be either a class pet or some type of educational avatar.
23. Matt Granger on January 16, 2013 at 6:40 pm said:

    Obe, for iPads to remotely control a board, it would be an iPad Notebook app with “Bridgit” integrated into it. And that allows Kevin”s new classmate in (insert other country here) and Kevin to collaborate. The classroom no longer has walls or clocks. I like it!
24. Lise Galuga on January 16, 2013 at 6:50 pm said:

    Classmate = avatar or virtual teacher? Hmmm….
25. Teresa Fletcher on January 16, 2013 at 7:10 pm said:

    I”m curious to learn more about Kevin. Could it be interactive devices,
    Multiple board classrooms, or maybe even iPad apps for SMART interactive???
    Can”t wait to find out.
26. jeri kitner on January 16, 2013 at 7:15 pm said:

    Hard to guess…SMART is always so creative. But know that it will be great.
27. Danielle Kovach on January 16, 2013 at 7:20 pm said:

    Maybe it”s voice recognition software? Can”t wait to find out!
28. Julie Kuzma on January 16, 2013 at 7:51 pm said:

    It seems that SMART is tapping into the creativity, collaboration and communication that Kevin is so interested in.
29. Cherie Herring (@C5Herring) on January 16, 2013 at 8:11 pm said:

    I have a few Kevins in my classroom at school…. I never know what they are going to do next but it makes my days exciting.
30. Brenda McKenzie on January 16, 2013 at 8:38 pm said:

    I can”t wait to see how SMART improves on the already amazing technologies!
31. Venita Jones on January 16, 2013 at 8:45 pm said:

    Increased integration with mobile devices? Ready for the next video.
32. N Blackmon on January 16, 2013 at 8:45 pm said:

    Sounds like there”s going to be collaboration between Smart and another technology. Maybe Apple (ipad)
33. Gregg Cefalo on January 16, 2013 at 8:49 pm said:

    I hope it links everything together
34. Lori Pierce on January 16, 2013 at 9:17 pm said:

    Interesting theories here!
35. Pedro Jimenez on January 16, 2013 at 9:22 pm said:

    Loving the mystery!! Can”t wait…keep the guesses coming.
36. Renee Fruge on January 16, 2013 at 9:31 pm said:

    I want to know NOW!!!! I don”t think I can wait……..
37. Tapani Raitanen on January 16, 2013 at 10:33 pm said:

    I”m glad I am at BETT event (London) in January 30th. I will be among the first ones to know!
38. Ronald Fisher on January 17, 2013 at 2:29 am said:

    SMART + Students + New Technologies = PriceLess! Go Kevin! This will be better than the SuperBowl Commercials!
39. Brian Wetzel on January 17, 2013 at 4:39 am said:

    Anyone pick up on these things:

    Couple of Google references–his email account and a lot of reds, blues, greens, and yellows. There was an obvious Apple reference with the iPad. I also noticed that Kevin had two different color shoes on–one orange and one green.

    Excited to say the least!
40. Kirsten Innes on January 17, 2013 at 5:52 am said:

    This reminds me of the ketchup commercial…(gotta sing it to make it work…) “Anticipation, Anticipa-a-tion…It”s making me wait…” Can”t wait! It has to be something to help him collaborate through Google, iPads, Smart…Anticipation!
41. Linda Martin on January 17, 2013 at 5:56 am said:

    I can”t wait to see who the classmate is! I have a feeling that whomever it is, both students and teachers are going to be equally excited! I love the way you”ve created a buzz about whomever the new classmate is!
42. Linda Martin on January 17, 2013 at 5:57 am said:

43. Sean Bird on January 17, 2013 at 6:28 am said:

    Being considered a classmate makes me believe that it is more than software, but something that excites his classmates. It will certainly be something that makes collaboration and interaction easier. A search of SMART Classmate revealed pre-order information of a really sweet piece of technology.
44. Sarah L. on January 17, 2013 at 6:32 am said:

    A simple Google search can yield interesting results. This looks like a pretty great product for the elementary grades!
45. Kristin Straumann on January 17, 2013 at 7:38 am said:

    So excited! I can”t wait to see what it is!!!
46. Kay Cole on January 17, 2013 at 8:08 am said:

    I believe that Kevin”s new classmate has to deal with collaboration and the iPad.
47. Nancy Garvey on January 17, 2013 at 8:09 am said:

    I think it could be something that will allow others to collaborate from outside of the classroom…..maybe a different device with notebook on it?
48. Loretta Aguilar on January 17, 2013 at 8:38 am said:

    I am hoping it will be software to integrate Ipads and the SMART board, that would be amazing!
49. Sydney on January 17, 2013 at 8:40 am said:

    I am just hoping I can use it with my current SMART products!
50. Suzanne Biedscheid on January 17, 2013 at 10:24 am said:

    I hope it is a connection with the iPad. That is the missing piece in all our SMART classrooms right now.
51. chris on January 17, 2013 at 10:25 am said:

    hoping what ever it is that is not expensive and is worth the hype SMART is trying to create.
52. Sam at SMART on January 17, 2013 at 10:31 am said:

    @chris Appreciate your honesty and stay tuned. Thanks for all the great suggestions, everyone!

    Sam at SMART
53. Martha on January 17, 2013 at 10:50 am said:

    Can”t wait to get to the bottom of this with Kevin!! Maybe the new classmate is HAL!
54. MGoodman on January 17, 2013 at 12:02 pm said:

    Looking forward to the continued integration of my existing classroom technology with the latest and greatest from mobile devices. Can”t wait to see what is coming to visit Kevin”s classroom.
55. Barbara on January 17, 2013 at 12:03 pm said:

    Maybe some type of interactive tutor…maybe built into an app?
56. Kate Seward on January 17, 2013 at 1:08 pm said:

    Maybe it is a new SMART product robot! You never know…. SMART is amazing!
57. Sue Brudnak on January 17, 2013 at 1:32 pm said:

    Collaboration between Apple and SMART would be awesome. Subtle hints in the video lead one to believe that that is where they are headed, but who knows…
58. Tracy Poelzer on January 17, 2013 at 2:07 pm said:

    I am stumped. Can”t wait for the next set of clues!
59. Bobby Brian Lewis on January 17, 2013 at 3:42 pm said:

    SMART plus apple equals great
60. Alison on January 17, 2013 at 4:04 pm said:

    Hmm, I wonder what is up? Can”t wait for the 30th.
61. Ellen Gordon on January 17, 2013 at 8:25 pm said:

    Can”t wait for something new from SMART! Looking forward to meeting the new “classmate” and learning how it can help students create, collaborate, inquire, and engage in the classroom!
62. Monica on January 18, 2013 at 1:18 pm said:

    I agree, I think it has to do with cloud-based computing, something with Google and Apple or mobile devices.
63. Suzanne Blaszak on January 19, 2013 at 10:28 am said:

    Hmmm…I think it is a new piece of hardware for students to use to collaborate. Can”t wait to see what it actually is.
64. Destiny on January 19, 2013 at 11:48 am said:

    Maybe the iPad App is going to be free??? A girl can dream!
65. J. Donaldson on January 20, 2013 at 7:56 am said:

    What a great video! I”m definitely curious…and couldn”t help notice that iPad in the video. iPad integration? SMART Tablet? 10 MORE DAYS!!!
66. Katie McIntosh on January 20, 2013 at 2:09 pm said:

    I am intrigued!! Cant wait to see the next video.. .
67. Allen Brooks on January 22, 2013 at 8:46 pm said:

    I”m not just wondering “who” Kevin”s new classmate will be, but also “what” Kevin”s new classmate will be…and then will Kevin invite us to come play too!?
68. Rachel on January 23, 2013 at 4:52 pm said:

    This could change teaching???? can”t wait!
69. Kimberly Terre on January 23, 2013 at 6:56 pm said:

    I can”t wait to find out more information. I think this new classmate will allow for student/teacher collaboration in the classroom, may be with a blended classroom.
70. Andrew on January 23, 2013 at 9:32 pm said:

    I”m thinking its like Siri but for SMART – SMART-i?
71. Stacie Boudrie on January 24, 2013 at 2:00 pm said:

    I think Kevin”s classmates found a way to collaborate easily with various types of hardware.
72. John Mein on January 24, 2013 at 9:17 pm said:

    I want to be Kevin”s other new classmate, so his new classmate can be mine as well!
73. Karen on January 25, 2013 at 10:09 am said:

    Would love to see some type of integration with Google products!
74. Wayne on January 25, 2013 at 10:15 pm said:

    I”m intrigued! Hopefully this will help students collaborate more easily using the board…or maybe a table?
75. Cathy on January 27, 2013 at 10:13 am said:

    Perhaps it is a Google collaboration site – connecting kids??
76. David Maneth on January 27, 2013 at 2:25 pm said:

    It could be a virtual presence device so distance learners can attend classes from outside the classroom.
77. Kathy Schlachter on January 27, 2013 at 5:50 pm said:

    I think it is a way for you to work collaboratively with another classroom.
78. Cathy on January 29, 2013 at 5:02 am said:

    Only one more day til we find out..
79. Lori Sandefur on January 29, 2013 at 7:32 pm said:

    Can”t wait to find out tomorrow!
