"GTCO CalComp recently introduced its InterWrite School Suite family of products, which includes an interactive whiteboard with a wireless Bluetooth option, a wireless Bluetooth SchoolPad, and annotation software.

'The InterWrite School Suite was designed to help teachers turn their lessons into interactive experiences for the students,' says Eric Timmons, President of GTCO CalComp. 'Whether using the SchoolBoard to teach in front of the classroom or using the wireless SchoolPad to teach anywhere in the classroom, the SchoolSuite allows teacher to engage and inspire their students....'

Using InterWrite Software, teachers can make notes, highlights, and annotate anything projected on the SchoolBoard surface and e-mail or print all the notes, along with the computer image, to give to absent students.

'Using Bluetooth to connect the SchoolBoard is a great option for schools that need to share an electronic whiteboard between multiple classrooms,' said Eric Timmons. 'Instead of taking the time to disconnect cables from one computer and reconnect them to the computer in the next classroom, the board can be rolled into the classroom and seamlessly connect to the computer wirelessly. In addition, the wireless option is perfect for existing schools where running cables from the board to the computer is often an issue.'

The wireless InterWrite SchoolPad allows teachers to engage their students from anywhere in the classroom. Utilizing Bluetooth technology, the SchoolPad allows teachers to control a computer with a connected projector from up to 25 feet away. With this wireless capability, any surface in a classroom can be used like an interactive whiteboard.

In addition, with the ability to connect multiple SchoolPads to the same computer, groups of students can collaborate on the same assignment." [allNetDevices Wireless News]
