FERRYHILL Comprehensive and Online Centre has received funding for computer equipment.
Sedgefield Borough Council's Single Regeneration Budget local area package has allocated £25,000 to provide eight smartboards, data projectors and lap-top computers.
The package runs alongside a contribution of £26,922 from the Local Education Authorities' Innovations funding.
Smartboard technology will extend the capability of existing computers, enabling a mobile, visually exciting and motivational form of learning.
The screen of the computers can be projected on to a wall-mounted or stand-alone display board, worked by touching the board, which will allow group instruction on programs.
