Galicia has been one of the first regions in Spain to adopt the interactive whiteboard in education. It started with a first purchase of 600 units in 2007 and has now at least one interactive whiteboard in each of its schools.

groupVision assisted Red.es (Spain's national procurement agency for ITC) in the deployment of this technology in Galician schools, by offering certified training programs to the whole team of trainers in this region's education authority. Besides this, we supported the creation of an informal user group EDIGA (Encerado Dixital Interactivo Galicia) which was instrumental in establishing peer-to-peer support, training and professional development.

In collaboration with other local entities, this group is actively organizing conferences and seminars that help to establish the best practices in the use of interactive whiteboards in education.

Without any doubt this strategic investment in education in Galicia will reinforce one of this regions' key competitive advantage for foreign investment, a highly dedicated and skilled work force.
