What iQ apps does on a SMART display

SMART iQ apps is the teaching software layer for SMART displays built on the iQ 4 classroom operating system. The tools sit on the display itself rather than on each teacher's laptop: an interactive whiteboard, ink tools that stay editable, timers, spinners, dice and measurement tools. A teacher can begin a lesson as soon as the screen is ready, which saves setup time across a busy school day.

Connecting student devices and keeping the class together

Students can join from Chromebooks, laptops, tablets or phones and contribute to the board without installing extra apps. The teacher chooses between student-paced and teacher-led learning, and sets per-page collaboration controls so only the pages chosen for group work accept shared input. SMART Mirror screen share broadcasts a student or teacher screen to the room with teacher moderation. A built-in library of exit tickets helps check understanding before students leave.

What the AI features do today and what arrives in 2026

Ink-to-text: handwriting and drawings become digital text that can be copied, edited and shared. Writing math equations is listed as coming in 2026.
AI translate: words and text on the whiteboard are translated during the lesson.
AI Select: quick answers or context without leaving the lesson flow, listed as coming in 2026.
Google Gemini: voice commands through the SMART Board microphone, combined with touch.

Lumio's AI tools are described as generating standards-aligned lessons, handouts and quizzes, which reduces the planning time teachers spend before a class.

Where iQ apps fits in Qatar

A private school in Lusail equipping classrooms with SMART displays, where teachers already build lessons in Google Slides. Imported files open on the board and can be annotated straight away.
A training centre in the Industrial Area where adult trainees bring their own laptops or phones. Quick device connection and exit tickets make short checks at the end of a session simple to run.
A university lecture room in Education City where a science lecturer uses PhET simulations through Lumio alongside measurement tools on the board.

What to confirm before you request a quote

iQ apps runs on the display, so the display model, the iQ version and any Tool Explorer accessories shape what a room can do. Tool Explorer accessories are sold separately. The manufacturer data names the MX series and RX series as running the iQ 4 classroom OS. Tell the SmartRooms Qatar team how many rooms need displays, which student devices are used, whether you need Lumio, and whether you plan to use SMART Notebook on Windows or Mac computers. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and we support purchase orders, LPOs and government tenders. Request a quote and we will confirm which display models match your classrooms.

Questions about SMART iQ apps

Is SMART iQ apps a good fit for a school in Doha replacing older teaching boards?

It can be, if the replacement is a SMART display running the iQ 4 classroom operating system. iQ apps brings an interactive whiteboard, ink tools, timers, Mirror screen sharing and Lumio lesson delivery, so teachers start lessons without installing separate software on each laptop. Send your room list and current boards to the SmartRooms Qatar team, and we will confirm which display matches your teaching approach in a quotation usually issued within one working day.

Which SMART displays run the iQ 4 operating system?

The manufacturer data names the MX series and the RX series as SMART displays built on the iQ 4 classroom operating system. It also describes the SMART AM60 appliance as embedded computing that is EDLA-licensed by Google. Because the exact model and iQ version determine which features are available, confirm both in your quotation before placing an order.

Can students in an Al Sadd classroom connect their own devices?

Yes. Students can connect from Chromebooks, laptops, tablets or phones to collaborate, share ideas and work with lesson content through the display's built-in tools. They can join, collaborate and contribute from any device in the room without extra steps or apps. Teachers choose student-paced or teacher-led learning mode and decide which pages accept collaborative input.

Do we need Lumio to use iQ apps?

No. The manufacturer states that Lumio is not required to use a SMART Board. It is a strong option for preparing lessons, and Lumio lessons can be delivered in the iQ whiteboard or through the built-in Lumio app. Lumio's AI tools are described as generating standards-aligned lessons, handouts and quizzes, which helps teachers in busy Doha schools prepare faster.

Will our Google Slides, PDFs and Google Classroom work with iQ apps?

Yes. iQ apps can import PDF files, Google Slides and SMART Notebook files, and lessons can be used to create assignments in Google Classroom. The manufacturer also states that iQ integrates with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, so teachers can open, create and edit files directly on the display. Android apps can be installed from the Google Play store.

Is SMART Notebook included, and how many computers can use it?

According to the manufacturer data, SMART Notebook is included free with the SMART Board interactive display. It can be installed on unlimited Windows and Mac computers to create lessons for the iQ4 display, and existing Notebook files can be used in the iQ4 whiteboard. This suits a school with a large library of Notebook lessons, since teachers can keep their earlier work and extend it.

Are the AI tools safe for student data?

The manufacturer says its AI is built to support educators and safeguard privacy, that it aligns with policy and procurement criteria, and that its in-app AI tools are designed without putting student data at risk. Because data handling also depends on your own settings and policies, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team for the manufacturer's current documentation during procurement, and review it with your school's data protection lead before rollout.

Which AI features are available now and which are coming in 2026?

Google Gemini with the SMART Board microphone, AI translate and Lumio's AI lesson tools are listed as available features. Writing math equations with AI ink-to-text and the AI Select search are listed as coming in 2026. Ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm feature availability for your chosen display model in the quotation, since release timing is set by the manufacturer.

How does Tool Explorer help learners in a mixed-ability classroom in Lusail?

Tool Explorer accessories turn touch into communication. Teachers can customise digital stamps, so students interact in ways that feel natural and take part more confidently. Digital manipulatives also let students drag, rotate and ink over objects during a lesson. Tool Explorer accessories are sold separately, so add them to your quotation if they are part of your plan.

What does iQ offer a training centre in the Industrial Area with adult trainees?

Trainees can connect their own laptops or phones, and the trainer decides which pages open for group work. Exit tickets from the built-in library let the trainer check understanding before the session ends. Screen sharing with teacher moderation controls what the room sees. We offer a free site survey before installation, so we can size the display for your training room and plan the mounting.

We are a school with several branches in Al Wakrah. Can we order by LPO?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar supports purchase orders, LPOs and government tenders, including Monaqasat, and payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Send the number of classrooms for each branch, and we will usually issue the quotation within one working day. A free site survey can be arranged before installation, and standardising on one display model across branches keeps planning simple.
