SMART Response XE - Intro and opening it up

Intro

The SMART Response interactive response system is an assessment tool that enhances learning. It facilitates summative and formative assessment by enabling you to pose a question before, during or after a lesson to find out whether students are on track. You can use the feedback to help shape the rest of your lesson.

But really, it is a cool form factor LCD + QWERTY keyboard, and a hackable micro controller (ATmega128RFA).

Opening it up

1. Find the joint on the edge and use a spludger or guitar pick to pop off the grey bezel. Work your way around to free the clips.
2. Starting at the power button, force the spludger in between the lower and top case. This applies pressure to separate the top and bottom case.
3. Use a small screwdriver to push in the plastic retainers at the larger openings. There are 2 on each edge, closest to the corners.
4. The case should start to pop apart as you apply pressure inside each opening and pry downward.
5. Work your way around, each of the 8 clip openings.

Your adventure begins!
