Touchscreens

Clip on Touch Screen

With a touchscreen, options can be chosen by directly touching the monitor (screen) as distinct from using a mouse. Integrated touchscreen monitors are available, or 'clip-on' units can be used with standard monitors. Touchscreens are more commonly used with pupils that have significant learning difficulty and that have a problem in associating an input option, such as a mouse click, with an outcome on the monitor.
