Interactive Whiteboards have arrived!

During the Easter Holidays, our classrooms were equipped with Interactive Whiteboards, complete with laptops. Interactive Whiteboards do two things with make them a worthy addition to our classrooms.
Firstly they assist the teacher in teaching, by providing multimedia resources which improve the quality of the lessons being taught. It brings the power of multimedia and the Internet to the teachers fingertips.
Secondly, they improve the children's learning experiences in the classroom, through the use of the resources of the Internet, audio, video, animation, text and interactive activities etc

Teachers will be receiving training in the use of the boards outside of school time over the coming weeks.
