According to government research, schools are already investing £900 million a year on education technology and this is starting to have a notable impact, with 97% of those aged 15–24 in the UK now having basic digital skills – a 4% improvement over two years. This demonstrates how vital exposure

to digital technology can be, and that without it, children may be left behind in an increasingly digital age.

Interactive Touchscreen Table – Early Years Edition The technologies that benefit young children the greatest are those that allow children to develop their curiosity, problem solving and independent thinking skills. Interactive displays, like Sharp’s Interactive Touchscreen Table – Early Years Edition, offer a flexible alternative to traditional teaching tools and can help to create a range of learning environments adaptable to different needs.
