[senit] interactive plasma screens from Inclusive

hi

We have 42" smart boards.  Previous ICT coordinator had purchased 
interactive boards from them and as the staff we already used to the 
software I stayed with them.  They are fine and the touch sensitivity seems 
OK but we don't use the smart board software much anyway.  The children do 
find the plasma so much easier to use as you don't get the shadow.

I avoided the 50" for the Plasma and interactive white boards.  Being only 
5' I can reach across the board with out blocking the picture.  I have also 
found that the big screen is too big when working with children with limited 
vision and mobility.

The biggest find though was the high low trolley from INTERGREX which means 
children in wheelchairs can get close to the board but then when working 
with very young children it goes almost to the floor so they can reach. 
They do sell a the plasma and trolley together but im not sure which one.

Can comment on the definition as I wasn't given a choice.

Alison
