With mounting pressure on teachers to implement ICT into all areas of the National Curriculum, many schools are making large
investments to equip their pupils with an array of IT equipment. However the high number of pupils using this equipment raises
concerns with its maintenance and cleanliness. With many schools across the UK closed due to outbreaks of swine flu there has
never been a greater need to prevent the spread of germs and viruses in academic institutions. At Kamicko we provide extensive
antibacterial cleaning of the following educational equipment:
Overhead & Slide Projectors (OHPs)
The fans in these machines must be regularly cleaned to ensure they effectively cool down the internal components, otherwise
they can burn out. Our thorough clean of the LCD panels also prevents and removes dust blobs appearing on the image, which can
be an unsightly inconvenience for users.
Digital Projectors
Regular cleaning of digital projectors ensures that they are safe and hygienic for teachers and pupils to use. We also
ensure that any internal dirt or dust that can lead to impaired functioning is removed, to reduce the frustrating problem
of lost teaching time due to faulty equipment.
Interactive Whiteboards
Interactive whiteboards have been a popular addition to many classrooms. The large number of teachers and pupils using them
throughout the day, causes them to become a breeding ground for germs. Regular antibacterial cleaning helps remove these viruses
that can spread illness between users. The removal of dirt and grime can reduce problems such as headaches, nausea and eye strain
caused by viewing a dirty screen for a long period of time.
Digital Cameras & Camcorders
Many schools now encourage pupils to familiarise and use digital media in the classroom to enhance their
IT literacy and media awareness. However due to excessive use of the equipment the quality of images can be greatly
reduced. Regular cleaning of the lens, touch screens and buttons removes any dirt and dust to make the equipment easier to
use and ensures a higher quality image. Antibacterial cleaning of the periphery improves appearance and minimises the risk of
germs spreading between users.
Laptops & Notebooks
Many classrooms are now equipped with laptops for pupils to use, however with lots of people using the same machine they can
harbour viruses that spread between users, and lead to illness. Regular antibacterial cleaning kills these germs, and improves
the appearance of the equipment which can become tired and worn over time. Specialist cleaning of the screen can prevent blurriness
and cleaning the keyboard ensures that it functions properly.
