Banksia Beach State Primary School

Banksia Beach has recently installed an additional number of interactive whiteboards to enhance student learning.

These are situated in the prep and year 6 block. Students and staff alike are discovering the benefits of harnessing the visual learning style that is representative of so many students.

Some classes from the following year levels now have access to  a Smartboard in their rooms:

• Prep
• Year 1
• Year 3
• Year 5
• Year 6
• Year 7

All classes have access to additional Smartboards in both our Junior and Senior computer labs.

The interactive Whiteboards (or Smartboards) have the following features:

Touch to control your computer Write, erase and perform mouse functions with your finger, a pen or an eraser – you need no other tools.

Pick up a pen and write Pick up a pen or the eraser, and the pen tray automatically detects which tool you’ve selected. Buttons activate the On-Screen Keyboard, right-click and help function.

Save your ideas Capture your work to SMART Board software as a screen shot that you can edit, or save your notes directly into several software applications, including Windows versions of Microsoft PowerPoint, Word and Excel.
