On Saturday 21 April 2007, Fingershield Safety UK sponsored the Creative ICT Spring Innovations Conference held at Chorlton Park Primary School in South Manchester. The event showcased some of the latest and most exciting new developments within the domain of Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

From blogging and podcasting to interactive learning solutions, developments in technology have been so prolific within the last 10 years that schools are literally spoilt for choice where ICT is concerned. But how is it that door safety specialists Fingershield Safety UK came to sponsor one of the most exciting ICT events to happen in the Northwest this year?

Already established as the market leader in the supply of anti-finger-trapping devices to schools, nurseries and indeed any establishment frequented by the general public, Fingershield Safety UK is expanding its product range with other product offerings to help schools and is keen to develop into the ICT products market.

Sponsoring the Creative ICT Spring Innovations Conference provided the perfect platform for the company to introduce the Fingershield brand within this exciting arena. The event – organised by Creative ICT and aimed at schools – featured a host of respected speakers from the world of ICT who spoke about topics such as the use of gaming platforms in education, Web 2.0, child-centred technology, and online assessment and report writing. Also offering invaluable networking opportunities to delegates, the event was a huge success and will shape the way schools operate over the coming months.
