OMi in partnership with Kingwood CLC
Imagine a learning environment where students are free to explore technology in a totally new way, where traditional limitations to the delivery of an educational experience have been removed, and where personalised learning is no longer just an ideal.
Now Kingwood CLC and OM-interactive present iSpace...
“Our intention was to create a room that could be accessed by everyone we work with, from early years and primary to the 14-19. It’s an agile space; for example, we can have music workshops, film screenings, etc. The technology is not intrusive - you can just use the bits you need. The point is to challenge new practice for ourselves as well as those we work with.”

Kingwood CLC iSpace: Exploring OM Interactive Projection Technologies in Mainstream Contexts
Since it was established in 2002, Kingwood City Learning Centre has worked with teachers and pupils in Hammersmith and Fulham Schools to develop opportunities to explore meaningful uses of new and emerging technologies for learning with teachers and pupils.
Speaking, Listening and Writing
The potential in particular for the use of the interactive floor and wall projection systems as a stimulus for developing pupil language through speaking and listening and also as a starting point for collaborative or independent writing. The ability to create an application that allows pupils to experience the virtual sensation of walking on ice as it cracks beneath their feet or distort an image virtually reflected in a pool of water provides a very powerful starting point for developing ideas in situations that children may not have directly experienced.
Using ICT in Real Life Contexts
Kingwood CLC has for a long time been interested in developing multimedia projects using industry standard tools, in particular at Key Stage 4 for the multimedia unit as part of the DiDA and with pupils taking part in the IT Diploma pilot. Interactive projection systems are particularly relevant here as their use is developed in the context of advertising and entertainment.
