Sahara Clevertouch is one of the largest ranges of interactive displays, with sizes from 42” to 82”. The latest touchscreen technology is integrated into the screen enabling it to be dual touch or multitouch, including gesture control and allowing multiple users. The Clevertouch range does not require drivers, calibration or set up, meaning that Clevertouch is always ready to go when you are. The high brightness display means that images are clearly visible and there is no shadowing.

The school had been using interactive whiteboards for a number of years, but, according to head teacher Mr Keith Harvey, there were “a number of disadvantages such as lack of clarity of the image, the shadow cast by the projector, and the regularity that the boards have to be reoriented”. Clevertouch is a solution to their problems caused by interactive whiteboards as the screens are much clearer, there is no need for reorienting, and the lifespan is longer. After the Clevertouch had been installed in the school for a term, Mr Harvey concluded that “staff, children and parents have been impressed with the interactive screens”. Teachers at Offord Primary School in Cambridgeshire agree with Mr Harvey, saying that “the Clevertouch is so much clearer than our previous interactive whiteboard solution; all the children can see the screen easily from all angles of the room in any light condition. There is no projector glare or shadows to combat and I never have to worry about a bulb going mid lesson / term”.

The great thing about Clevertouch is that it is so versatile. There are a wide range of desk stands, wall mounts, and height adjustable manual or electric stands and trolleys. This means that you have the option of moving the screens between classrooms, or into halls for assemblies or indoor play, and the adjustable height trolleys and stands make Clevertouch perfect for Nursery or Reception children, right up to Sixth Form. The Clevertouch Fusion is already attached to an adjustable trolley, that can be used in three modes:- whiteboard, easel, or table. The Fusion features 32-point touch, making it ideal for projects involving the whole class. The Clevertouch Fusion also comes with Snowflake Interactive Software, which is designed for use on multi-touch devices and includes a host of applications that engage children in a new way by letting them interact with media, websites, images and brochures. There are also games, perfect for encouraging children to work and play together.

Clevertouch has a three year de-install reinstall warranty, upgradable to five years. That means that if there are any problems Sahara’s engineers will come to the school, and if they cannot fix the problem on-site they will remove the screen and
Looking to the future, Clevertouch now has the ability to communicate directly with students’ Smartphones and Tablet PCs, and DisplayNote allows pupils to annotate on their own device, save their notes, and look at them at a later date.
Every Clevertouch comes bundles with the Clevertouch Software Suite, which is made up of CleverLynx with Wordwall and the DisplayNote Presenter Licence. The range of educational games help engage pupils, perfect for use with the CleverClick voting system. Teachers can now LessonShare with the new website CleverLynx.com – allowing you to get ideas from other schools all over the world. Comments from teachers who love using this software include Miss Kirsty Gray of Offord Primary School who said “CleverLynx is a dream to work with; no constant orientation required, and Wordwall is great! We have used random wheel, wordsearch and crossword to great effect”.
