NEW!

Thanks to a Capacitybuilders grant in March 2009, the Roundhouse has additional facilities including an interactive whiteboard.

An interactive whiteboard is a large display screen that connects to a computer and projector.

The projector beams the computer’s desktop onto the board’s surface, where you can control the computer using a special pen or your finger. An "ink" layer allows you to draw or add comments which can be saved on the computer. It's an electronic flip chart!

PowerPoint presentations, DVD's and videos can be played through the system which also has stereo sound.

Library
