Canadian Smart Technologies Inc. has donated interactive whiteboards worth CNY2.8 million to 20 schools in Yaan, Chengdu, Pengzhou, Deyang, Zhongjiang, Mianyang, Zitong, Guangyuan, and Cangxi to help them build modern multimedia classrooms.

Smart Technologies will send a work team to the 20 schools to install and debug these interactive whiteboards. Besides, the company will also offer a series of training sessions on courseware making, resource sharing, and inter-school exchange.

President and COO Tom Hodson stated that he hoped these interactive whiteboards would help students restore and improve their learning initiative. He also expected that the company's efforts would arouse the awareness of more enterprises and social forces to school reconstruction and school-age children.
