The project was very successful in so far as the status and awareness of ICT in the Foundation Stage both in schools in the area and centrally was raised. The training sessions gave teachers the confidence to use the boards and they were provided with a wealth of resources that supported learning and teaching. On the whole teachers were delighted to have equipment that was so visual and exciting as they could see how the technology might enhance the learning environment. Teachers were inspired to use the boards not just as a teaching tool but also to introduce the equipment to children as one of the areas or zones of learning in the classroom. Teachers practising continuous provision were encouraged to set up activities on the interactive whiteboard that could be accessed by pupils individually or in small groups by choice.

One of the most significant outcomes focussed on the pupils' organisation of themselves when using the boards. Teachers were reporting that pupils were devising their own turn taking systems and were working collaboratively in small groups in ways that had not been seen before. They were tutoring each other and motor skills were developed. Increased teacher and pupil confidence, competence and motivation were also reported.
