How Interactive Displays Provide a Better Education for Students
Originally published by Sharp Electronics Corporation, 2016
From elementary schools to universities, the goal of instructors is to engage students so they can get a solid education. Interactive displays can help make a difference.
Interactive displays enrich the learning experience of a variety of students. For example, Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf uses Sharp AQUOS BOARD® interactive display systems in every classroom. The students view large images with equally large captions that are an integral part of learning for deaf students. Apps have also been installed to help with a variety of subjects.
Another benefit the AQUOS BOARD interactive displays offer for any student is collaboration. Multiple students can be invited at one time to draw, write notes or perform edits at the same time. And, with a unique handwriting recognition feature, students with even the poorest penmanship can have their writing instantly turn into a clean font for their peers to easily read.
Up to 50 students can follow along with the lesson plan on the AQUOS BOARD interactive display and add input through their tablets, laptop computers and smartphones, right at their desks after downloading the free SHARP Touch Display Link app. And, the displays are maintenance free. There are no bulbs to replace, no shadows and no warm-up/power down time to deal with.
The AQUOS BOARD interactive display equipment is familiar and intuitive. Classroom lessons can be more productive because there is no need to learn an entirely new system. Instructors and students can take advantage of the inking functionality in Microsoft® Office applications and Microsoft Edge Internet browser. For example, you can directly annotate and save within PowerPoint® without having to use or purchase a third party overlay or application.
School system administrators can also benefit from AQUOS BOARD interactive displays as well. Its open architecture seamlessly integrates with the school’s existing hardware and software investments. The interactive displays integrate with leading learning management systems such as Blackboard®, Promethean® ActivInspire and ClassFlow™, Google® Classroom, Splashtop® Classroom and more.
