Projects and Case Studies

Smart Table Project
The SMART Table is the first multitouch, multiuser interactive learning centre for primary school pupils. Designed to encourage collaboration, discussion and consensus building, the table gives early primary school pupils a gathering place to explore digital lessons, play educational games and work together on interactive learning activities. Groups of pupils can simultaneously touch objects on the surface and enjoy a playful kind of learning. The possibilities for fun and teamwork are limitless on the table - from sliding an elephant across the surface, to following a trail of clues or mapping the human body. And the table’s interface is so intuitive that pupils can get started on activities quickly and easily.

Nintendo DS in Schools
At St. James’ CE Primary, we have been using the DS Lites with the Braintraining exercises on a regular basis. We have used these in addition to regular paper exercises taken from a range of Braintraining resources. We have incorporated the DS Braintraining with our Guided Reading as an independent activity. Each child initially took the test to get a baseline score and to identify areas for improvement. Children with one of these at home had the advantage of knowing how to complete the activities but once they had all become familiar with the tasks this did not appear to give them any added bonuses as we tracked their progress.
