ELECTROBOARD Solutions brings
to Australia!
Prowise is a company based in the Netherlands.
Prowise products are currently used by many
countries in Europe including those identified by the
OECD’s report “Measuring Innovation in Education”
as having the most innovative education systems.
Prowise provides both hardware and software to
support European educators “Teach by inspiration”.
The company has developed a range of interactive
flat panels for the pedagogical requirements of
teachers. The panels can be fixed or mobile units
which come with a bespoke lift and trolley enabling
teachers to use the panel in a range of modes.
The interactive panel can be moved around the
learning space for whole class, guided activities or
small group collaboration. With a push of a button
the interactive panel can be laid flat becoming a
collaborative table. Teachers therefore have the
benefit of different ways to enhance learning using
the one interactive flat panel.
Prowise Presenter Is screen- independent cloud
software that teachers can access from anywhere on
any type of laptop, tablet, iPad, PC or digital screen at
home or at school.
Prowise Presenter software supports the hardware
as well as any digital screen across the school and
is FREE. Prowise Presenter has built-in tools and
thousands of free lessons developed by teachers
making working with a digital screen easier and
more innovative. The software has a comprehensive
range of professional instructional tools, which
teachers can combine to translate their knowledge
into exciting and effective lessons. Most importantly
The fact that Prowise software is cloud based means
that schools no longer have to store content locally and
install complex software onto their devices. As schools
increasingly adopt BYOD, or BYOT finding software
that can be used on all devices and which teachers can
seamlessly use from the classroom to the home is very
important. Software like this can provide significant
benefits to teachers in terms of efficiency and enabling
effective collaboration.
For all enquiries and to talk to a consultant please contact training@electroboard.com.au or call 1800 622 800

EARLY YEARS
Prowise supports
collaborative play
and thinking
The Early Years Learning Framework encourages centres to create environments which
contain open-ended, complex materials that can be used in many ways.
The Prowise interactive display offers amazing flexibility for an Early Years learning
environment. With the addition of the height adjustable mobile trolley Early Years
educators can effortlessly raise and lower the display to suit the age range and
activity. The display can also be fully tilted to become a horizontal table surface.
These options increase choices available to both learners and teachers and allow for
collaborative play and creative thinking.
Please contact your ELECTROBOARD Education Consultant for more information.

PRODUCTS
IRIS Connect™ is a video-based system
that empowers teachers and educators
to reflect, analyse and share practice.
The system allows education settings
to work together to deliver practical
teaching and learning support which
is purposeful, reflective, authentic and
contextualised.
An effective sound field amplifies the
decibels of speech and distributes
sound throughout the space. Each
student is able to hear and understand
what the teacher is saying no matter
where they are in the classroom. In
particular, the system also supports
students with hearing impairments
including Otitis Media.
The Magic Planet® is a digital video
globe – a digital projection display with
a sphere-shaped screen. It allows you
to view and explore dynamic digital
media that helps to explain our world.
It’s proven to significantly increase
comprehension, as well as participation
and collaboration in K-12 classrooms.

APPLE
Personalise Your iPad
ELECTROBOARD’s Training Academy support schools by delivering
accredited courses including Apple iPad integration. Whether you
are integrating a class set of iPads or rolling out a 1:1 BYO iPad
program ELECTROBOARD recommends ‘Personalising’ your iPads
with our ‘Getting Started with your iPad’ course.
By looking into the accessibility functions of the iPad you can ensure inclusivity for all students and staff.
Improve your student’s learning experiences and productivity by personalising the iPads to your students
own individual learning needs. We will take you from the basics right up to an advanced skills set of
personalisation. We believe personalising your iPad is just as important as the Apps you install! The iPad
is the learning tool that allows us to create, innovate and inspire!

VIDEO CONFERENCING
Canberra Raider conquers new territory
A nervous Canberra Raiders young gun Jeff Lynch entered Raiders HQ to
receive his final instructions from Community Manager Charlotte Anneveld.
He was to take his first solo plane ride up to Sydney to participate in a
video conference live from Rugby League Central. Lynch was travelling for
the first time without his teammates and coaches by his side and for the
young man from country Cowra, a whole new experience awaited.
Over one hundred students from three NSW schools joined the Eat
Well Play Well Stay Well video conference to hear Lynch’s views on the
importance of making healthy food choices. Lynch also shared how eating
well benefits his health and fitness, impacting positively on his ability to play
good football. The children even got a sneak peek into Jeff’s lunchbox as
he explained his various food choices and preferences. Students were invited
to interact with a blindfolded Jeff as he was challenged to a ‘celebrity head’
inspired game of guessing the healthy food choice. The session culminated in
a structured Q & A providing students with an opportunity to ask Jeff questions
pertaining to his career, Rugby League and lifestyle choices.
Nutrition, an integral element of multi-faceted Eat Well, Play Well, Stay Well video
conference reinforces the value of healthy food choices that are conveyed to students
in Australian schools each day, complimenting the good work already done in schools.
NRL One Community will soon launch an exciting new interactive online game for teachers
to incorporate into their classroom to complement their health programs. Students select
an avatar and can theme the game to their favourite NRL club. The avatar visits the field,
canteen and even the merchandise store as their teacher’s track their progress.
Following video conferencing’s successful debut at Rugby League Central in May, the NRL
One Community Learning with League team, in collaboration with a number of clubs have
been welcomed into Australian classrooms in New South Wales, Victoria and Western
Australia to deliver key messages through curriculum linked Literacy, PDHPE and values-based
programs.
Other Term 3 highlights included the Cronulla Sharks Tackling Bullying, the Penrith Panthers
reading, the West Tigers celebrating book week, Roosters challenging Racism and Souths
Cares encouraging students to Dream Believe Achieve. Term 4 is destined to bring even more
exciting opportunities for children to engage with the stars and ambassadors of our game.

ARRIVE
has arrived!
ELECTROBOARD Solutions is proud to introduce a new collaboration system to Australia. Arrive FacePoint provides a
complete collaboration platform enabling educators to:
•
•
•
•
•
Collaborate using Polycom Realpresence, Cisco Webex, Citrix Go-to-Meeting, Bluejeans, Zoom, Skype etc.
Access cloud based content storage like Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive
Join a Lync meeting, share a Lync whiteboard and email your notes to all participants
Use Outlook to book your meeting room via your calendar
Share wireless content including built-in AirPlay for Apple devices. All content can be displayed within in a
Lync conference
Simply put, currently when you video conference with another school or content provider they need to have video
conference equipment. With Arrive it will be possible for you to connect with a school who only has Skype. Your class
will have the enhanced experience because
you will be able to use your VC cameras and
microphones and not be crowded around a
laptop screen.
This means that in the morning, a teacher
could share the interactive whiteboard lesson,
camera and audio to a remote student over
Webex or Skype. Then after lunch, the same
class could participate in a virtual museum
excursion using their video conference
software. All on the same system!
No need for complex technical set ups
and delays starting your meeting - simply
use Arrive! Arrive FacePoint is a video
conferencing (VC) codec, in-room PC, multiplatform collaboration device and control
system for your audio visual equipment all
rolled into one. It is completely customisable
to your environment and it is centrally
managed via the Edgeless Media Server. To
find out more about Arrive contact your
Education Consultant.
