Interactive Whiteboards

Hitachi Australia hosted an event at the Powerhouse Museum yesterday to unveil its new technology powering the innovative creative digital media workshops. The Hitachi interactive whiteboards and ultra short-throw projectors have been installed in the new upgraded education space, facilitating the learning experience for students who partake in courses at Powerhouse.

For the first time in Australia, the Hitachi interactive whiteboards have been integrated with Apple Mac computers to allow students in the labs to use a range of programs on the boards.

The upgraded workshops have dramatically changed the way students learn at the Powerhouse Museum. Students are now placed at the centre of the learning experience and can use the Hitachi technology to search locations on Google Earth, make videos and documentaries, as well as create music with programs such as GarageBand.
