"We’re really happy with Inland Technology’s innovative solution to learning and development. Even their aftercare and ongoing support has been second-to-none. They’ve been in regular contact since, they’ve offered further training and great after-sales care, and they’ve taken us step by step through a lot of the products and features we weren’t previously aware of.
[The SMART Interactive Whiteboard has] already proved to be highly valuable in so many areas. I’ve been able to use it to help develop the children’s abilities in everything from writing their own names to playing interactive counting games, taking part in number recognition sequences, and learning and memory games to help build recall – which is a vital skill for enhancing learning once they go to school.
We’ve even been able to take the kids on a virtual tour around the world using the smartboard and been able to teach them how to do everything from saying hello in Spanish, to counting to 10 and singing songs in various different languages.
Having this enhanced visual element seems to have helped accelerate their learning because it adds an extra dimension that they can easily relate to. It enables the children to work more interactively with technology, educators and peers in group activities. They’re not just sitting down and listening but are able to engage in a more meaningful way. It offers them another source of learning, and it’s one that’s already extremely familiar to them, given the younger generation’s familiarity with computers and technology.
I’d definitely recommend this to other schools. It opens up so much more learning to the children, and I’m really excited by the possibilities of this new technology.”

"I’ve found the team at Inland Technology to be very professional. If they say something is going to happen, then they make sure they deliver."
“Inland Technology's Managed Print Services save a lot of time and hassle. We have a combination of photocopiers and printers located throughout the school. If we had to manage these ourselves, we would inevitably run into problems around having toner when we need it and having maintenance done on time."
“It’s part of our mission to keep up with technology and invest in the services our Members want, so that we remain competitive and appealing to new Members – and we also want to retain our loyal Members who’ve been with us for many years. This new whiteboard seemed to fit perfectly with that requirement, enabling us to modernise our existing equipment and helping us to deliver cutting-edge services and presentations for our Members.
As video conferencing technology has advanced, the value of our previous investment had diminished. Additionally, we needed to upgrade so we could use video conferencing not only to communicate between branches, but also with the other stakeholders, third parties and suppliers we need to communicate with on a daily basis, as well as helping us to quickly and easily share content, connect with people on the road and so on.
It’s not only helped us to be more of a close-knit team, but we’ve also been able to integrate it into events like seminars for our members, where a third party came in to present on mobile EFTPOS solutions. It made the whole process incredibly easy, it looked really slick and impressive, and it also delivered a real ‘wow’ factor during the presentation.
Whatever your business, I would very much recommend these [SMART Interactive whiteboards]. They’re an incredible means of facilitating communication and for showcasing business strengths. I can’t imagine how we managed for so long without one!”

"The support has been fabulous. The service side was great, and they really took the time to come in and set everything up, and then give our team the training they needed to start using the [SMART Interactive whiteboard] technology. There’s a lot of capacity in the technology, and we just need to keep learning how to harness it. Obviously, there’s a process involved and it’s a journey to get to the point where we are using it to its full capacity – but Inland Technology have been with us every step of the way.
The kids are loving them, and are very motivated to be involved – and the staff are too. It’s given them a way to add something different to their programs, which they’re really enjoying.
We've been able to get kits to take part in activities like games targeted towards identified learning outcomes - so things like letter and name recognition, learning colours and shapes, even some great interactive drawing activities, which enables them to engage in a much more interactive manner. In this way, our lessons have become a type of 'whole-self' program, enabling kids to interact more, so they have a better opportunity to engage, learn and digest information.
The two venues with new whiteboards share a day of service each week, and they have the capability to interact across the two different sites, both with each other and even with other preschools around Australia. That functionality relies on good internet, so we're hoping that can become a reality over time for our region."
