Offaly School of Special Education in Tullamore thrilled at welcome donation

The students and staff of Offaly School of Special Education were thrilled to welcome representatives from Tullamore Lions Club and Lions Clubs Ireland to the school recently.

The group paid a visit to the students to make a very generous donation of two new Smartboards.

These smartboards or interactive whiteboards as they are also known, resemble a traditional dry-erase boards in form and use.

But unlike a static whiteboard, a smart board can connect with external devices such as tablets, smartphones, laptops and computers.

The Smartboards will make a real difference to the students as they greatly benefit kids with learning or cognitive disabilities, including limitations on hearing, vision and mobility.
