Over recent years a broad range of technologies have become a central part of how we teach and learn. In addition to these technologies, various software applications are also used in schools for management, accounting and assessment.

Holmfirth Junior, Infant and Nursery (JIN) School in West Yorkshire recently teamed the interactive whiteboards in each of its 8 classrooms with an AVerMedia Vision 130 Visualiser.

Injecting new life into lessons, the combination quickly proved a huge hit among staff and children alike, who now use the technology to view everything from text and pictures to slugs and snails (though not puppy dogs’ tails!)
