Challenge

Cows & Calves Preschool (Koetjies & Kalfies Kleuterskool, Centurion, South Africa) encourages their students to “learn and explore the world in which they live through discovery.” This includes integrating technology that enhances the learning experience for their young students. Because of their small class sizes, each student receives personal attention ensuring that individual needs can be met in dynamic and innovative ways.

With the help of The Smart Idea Group and Interactive AV Solutions, Cows & Calves Preschool invested in Clevertouch® interactive displays. More schools have implemented interactive displays in their learning environments because of their state-of-the-art features that are teacher- and student-friendly. The Cows & Calves community was no exception. "We invested in Clevertouch (interactive displays) in our classrooms as a teaching aid to assist children to broaden their knowledge and be techno smart,” stated Anell Harper, Principal of Cows & Calves Preschool.

Key Solution

Key foundations of the school’s educational mission are encouraging their students to learn and explore the world through discovery, as well as learning to share and show respect for one another. The Clevertouch interactive display helps teachers boost class collaboration and nurture teamwork via built-in apps such as Lynx and Snowflake.

What are some other key features of the Clevertouch interactive displays?

• High-precision Super Glide Touch technology gives a fluid writing experience that can differentiate between stylus, finger touch, and palm-erase.
• Cloud-based LYNX Whiteboard helps teachers create dynamic activities and presentations from multiple sources, giving them the freedom to work from anywhere.
• Clevershare allows users to mirror content from a phone, laptop, or tablet onto the interactive display for increased opportunities to collaborate and connect.
• Cleverstore gives teachers access to hundreds of free teaching apps to make lessons engaging, from early language and reading to coding and programming.
• Cloud drives, such as Google and OneDrive, can be synced with displays so teachers can share content from any device.

​​​​​​​Benefits

The implementation of interactive displays has had a positive impact on student learning. Harper commented, “We have found the interactive (displays) to be beneficial in developing hand coordination, midline crossing, and problem-solving skills.”

They have also noted the favourable reaction of parents. Harper observed, “Our parents are extremely happy with the technology being introduced into the classrooms (because) it sets us apart from other preschools.”

We are thrilled that the educators, students, and parents all enjoy using the Clevertouch interactive displays to boost learning, engagement, and collaboration. We anticipate more positive experiences coming from this innovative school!
