Case Study: Anne Arundel County Public Schools achieves uninterrupted remote learning and $130,000+ in savings with SMART Technologies

Bridging the gap and connecting classrooms

Anne Arundel County Public Schools faced the challenge of offering advanced math to gifted students scattered across the district and keeping instruction running during teacher absences or school closures. High school teacher Josh Dorsey even taught calculus from more than 800 miles away, while students asked to continue classes during snow closures.

By deploying Bridgit™ conferencing software from SMART Technologies alongside SMART Board™ interactive whiteboards, Dorsey’s lectures and annotations were broadcast in real time to six other schools, enabling collaboration and uninterrupted instruction. The rollout improved access to advanced courses, and the district realized more than $130,000 in first-year savings, with plans to expand SMART Technologies tools to more subjects and remote learners.
