In today’s classrooms, learning looks much different than it did just a decade ago. Integrating interactive technology into the classroom has moved instruction beyond chalk, dry erase markers, and even standard projectors. The classroom interactive whiteboard has become a powerful centerpiece for dynamic, engaging, and multi-media rich lessons, hands-on collaboration, and deeper student interaction with content. When paired with interactive learning software and ready-to-use educational resources, these displays support dynamic teaching practices that enhance participation and improve learning outcomes. And when it comes to today’s options, we feel no one does it better than ViewSonic. Utilizing the built-in software and interactive learning tools, you can truly transform lesson delivery and engagement in powerful ways with ViewSonic ViewBoard interactive whiteboards for education.
If you already have an ViewSonic ViewBoard display in your classroom—or are considering one—here’s how you can use it to enrich your lessons and support all learners.
What Makes a Classroom Interactive Whiteboard So Powerful?
Traditional chalkboards, dry erase whiteboards, and projectors allow teachers to present information—but interactive whiteboards allow students to experience it. A classroom interactive whiteboard unlocks:
-
- Active participation: Students can write, move objects, annotate, and engage directly with instructional content.
- Real-time collaboration: Multiple students can interact at the same time, fostering group problem solving.
- Multimedia integration: Teachers can incorporate video clips, digital manipulatives, 3D models, audio recordings, and online resources.
- Save and revisit lessons: Instructional content can be stored, replayed, and adapted for different learners.
These features help create a more inclusive and engaging learning environment, especially for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners.
So why ViewSonic? ViewSonic’s ViewBoard IFP51 interactive whiteboard series is built specifically for education. Featuring an ultra-smooth touch, natural writing experience with instant annotation, direct access to the Google Play Store, built-in casting, immersive audio and an 8-mic array, it supports instruction in every subject and for every student.

-
- EDLA-Certified interactive whiteboard

The ViewBoard becomes your instructional hub in the classroom—but the magic really happens when you pair it with the game-changing software.

It also empowers teachers to tailor lessons to individual learning preferences and comprehension levels through AI-powered tools to automate grading and provide actionable lesson insights
-
- Check Comprehension On-the-fly: Instantly gauge students’ comprehension levels during lessons with interactive question formats including quizzes, true/false, audio, and sketch responses. Ask a question → Students respond on laptops/Chromebooks → View results instantly. This keeps every student engaged, even the quiet ones. Based on results, teachers can adjust instruction on the spot.
- Spark Classroom Excitement: Utilize features such as a point reward system, buzzers, and timers to captivate students’ attention and ignite excitement into every lesson
- Personalize Learning Experiences: Real-time, comprehensive student performance insights enable teachers to tailor lessons to individual and group learning preferences.
ClassSwift turns a classroom interactive whiteboard into a collaborative feedback hub, helping teachers create more interactive and responsive learning moments. However, another great thing about ClassSwift is, although it’s part of ViewSonic Education software suite, it is a stand-alone software that can be used on any device with access to the internet, it doesn’t have to even be an interactive display.
