Ten schools in the Uk have received a free Samsung SDP-860 digital presenter as part of the company’s 2010 ‘Focus on Learning’ grant. The successful applicants were chosen by a panel of judges headed by Dave Smith, chair of the Visualiser Forum.
Amanda Doyle, principal teacher at Battlefield Primary School in Glasgow who were one of the successful applicants said: ‘Our P.2 class is currently participating in the ‘Leonardo Effect’ project which teaches art and science in an interdisciplinary format. The children are investigating seeds, plants and insects and it will be invaluable for them to project tiny objects onto a large screen to see every detail. I have also put my class forward for a ‘Radiowaves’ project where the children will produce videos, blogs and podcasts to showcase to other schools. The Samsung Presenter’s real motion video capabilities will allow my pupils to add audio sounds and information and video to their blogs and podcasts as they appear on the screen.’
The winning schools are;
| La Salette Catholic Primary Schoo |
| Greenhead High School |
| Battlefield Primary School |
| The Mary Erskine & Stewart’s Melville Junior School |
| Taunton Schoo |
| Larchwood Primary School |
| Brentford City Learning Centre |
| St Luke’s Isle of Dogs C.E. Primary School |
| Tynewydd Primary School |
| West Buckland School |
Samsung launched its 2010 ‘Focus on Learning’ grant programme to commemorate the introduction of the SDP-860 into the British market.
The SDP-860 has been designed specifically with the education sector in mind.
