Based in the city of Xanthi in Thrace North Greece, Poreia is a private school that provides tuition to students from 15 to 18 years of age.
In the past, Poreia relied on traditional teaching and learning processes, using whiteboards and paper documents to share information and explain topics to students. Recognising that this approach could feel repetitive and uninspiring, the school looked to create a more engaging experience for students.
The school engaged Ricoh business partners Intertech and Copy Service to implement Ricoh A6500 Interactive Whiteboards. Today, teachers at Poreia work through academic problems and brainstorm on the interactive whiteboards using the pre-installed S-Write application and a touch pen. They can also annotate documents and graphics, and make presentations by connecting a laptop to the Ricoh solutions via HDMI or USB ports.
"Parents are very pleased with the addition of new digital technologies to our classrooms. They expect us to offer the best teaching and learning tools, and with the Ricoh Interactive Whiteboards we are justifying their investment and improving the future prospects of their children."
