Smartschool is an online tool for schools to communicate teachers and students in a better way. For example, what if the professor shows a Power Point presentation to the students and he or she wants to give them a copy of that? In this case is necessary to send students the presentation later via email or with an USB device, but this process takes some time and could affect the concentration of the students. Smartschool.be allows users to build something like an online classroom, so there professors can store presentations and other educative materials and give their respective students some permissions to access those.

The website has many explanations about how to be part of Smartschool.be and how it works. In addition, the site's administrators have published there a section called "In the press" to see what do the critics think about the service.
