SMART Technologies
Interactive Whiteboards
In 1999 Rapid Technologies recognised groundbreaking technology that was going to change the face and way that we teach, conduct presentations and train people in the future. Traditional methods of teaching and presenting with flipcharts and chalkboards were being replaced by a new phenomenon.
This Phenomenon was the Interactive Whiteboard.
An Interactive Whiteboard is a visual communication device that allows you to present, edit, create, acquire and share digital content that may be on any connected network, laptop or PDA device. One of the many advantages of utilising interactive technologies is that the information can be saved and therefore shared and used again.
Since adopting this technology Rapid Technologies have sold several thousand interactive solutions to educational establishments throughout the UK.
The largest worldwide manufacturer of Interactive plasma screen and whiteboards is currently Smart Technologies based in Canada.
Smart Technologies chose Rapid Technologies to help grow their business in the UK and made Rapid Technologies an accredited Education partner in 1999.
Rapid Technologies was chosen for two reasons, firstly their technical competence in being able to deliver, train and install the new technology and secondly, their strong relationships and understanding of teaching and learning within the educational sector.
The technology that has revolutionised teaching styles in the UK education marketplace is now being heavily adopted by commercial organisations that are seeing the benefits and effectiveness of being able to deliver high quality training and meeting room presentations for their customers and employees.
