The connected classroom features an interactive whiteboard that is sensitive to touch. Here, a teacher is writing down notes on the interactive whiteboard using only touch.
Other technology in the classroom includes fast internet access, videoconferencing gear and wireless projectors.
Minister Dixon said that he would like to see confident, specialist schools use government grants to purchase tech to suit their own needs, rather than have the education department prescribe inadequate devices.
