{{See also|Interactive whiteboard}}
Some educational software is designed for use in school classrooms. Typically such software may be projected onto a large whiteboard at the front of the class and/or run simultaneously on a network of desktop computers in a classroom. The most notable are SMART Boards that use [[Smart Technologies|SMART Notebook]] to interact with the board which allows the use of pens to digitally draw on the board. This type of software is often called [[classroom management]] software. While teachers often choose to use educational software from other categories in their [[software suite|IT suites]] (e.g. reference works, children's software), a whole category of educational software has grown up specifically intended to assist classroom teaching. 'Wordshark', for example, was first released in the mid nineties with multi-sensory games to support students learning to read and spell. Branding has been less strong in this category than in those oriented towards home users. Software titles are often very specialized and produced by various manufacturers, including many established educational book publishers.
