Classroom Success…
Allan Forbes
Headteacher
“English College (EC), being one of the leading private schools in the UAE, did a lot of research before deciding upon which interactive whiteboard technology to purchase. After trialing board by several manufacturers, EC piloted Interwrite Boards. We were more than impressed with the enabling Interwrite software, not to mention the company’s full commitment to post-sales support, particularly in terms of longitudinal teacher training. It’s a decision we certainly don’t look back on whatsoever.”
