In today’s world, we have the classroom technology to make learning something that is truly engaging for students of all ages and of all learning types. An incredible tool that helps us achieve this is interactive whiteboards. Interactive whiteboards are digital displays that can be controlled by touch or a stylus, and they allow teachers to display multimedia content and even write or draw on the screen. Best of all, research has shown that interactive whiteboards better capture the attention of students and improve learning outcomes.
If you’re looking for a way to make your classroom teaching more engaging and in turn improve student learning, then interactive whiteboards may be the solution you need.
What is an Interactive Whiteboard?
An interactive whiteboard is a large display that can be easily integrated with computers and other devices. It’s an ideal tool for presentations, hybrid learning, and classroom instruction, and can be controlled by touch or a stylus. There are many different models and sizes of interactive whiteboards available on the market, so it’s important to choose one that best achieves your goals. At Parmetech, we recommend interactive whiteboards made by ViewSonic which come with their own integrated software and materials. If you would like to learn more about their features and usage, we offer personalized demos and trainings!
How Can an Interactive Whiteboard Improve Teaching?
Interactive whiteboards are a valuable supplement to traditional instruction. They allow teachers to express their ideas using visuals, sound, digital material, and interactive games. This is especially helpful for younger students, who can benefit from the engaging and fun features of these whiteboards. A ViewSonic interactive display provides a new way for teachers to express learning objectives in a way that students can understand. With the ability to use various media to explain concepts, teachers can reach all types of learners in their classrooms whether they are hands-on, visual, or auditory. Here are some of the greatest benefits for teachers that ViewSonic displays present:
myViewBoard Classroom
Exclusive to ViewSonic digital displays, myViewBoard Classroom (part of the myViewBoard digital whiteboarding software ecosystem) allows instructors to create a digital online learning environment that can easily be accessed by students. myViewBoard Classroom is especially useful in hybrid learning environments as it can be accessed from anywhere. It provides teachers with a place to upload assignments, access teaching tools, and download learning materials.
Access to Digital Content
Going along with myViewBoard Classroom, students can gain access to learning materials from wherever they are. Teachers can synch their Google Drive and upload learning materials. The features of the interactive displays for schools allow teachers to provide students with the valuable resources they need to digest lessons.
Easily Share Materials
Interactive displays are all about collaboration and as such, they make it easy for materials to be shared across the classroom. Teachers can display content, send it directly to students, or leave it where students will always have access. You can even share content with other educators to get their feedback.
Seamless Integration and Connection to Other Teaching Tools
The ViewSonic ViewBoard interactive whiteboards can connect instantly to a variety of instructional technology tools that can help elevate your lessons. For example you can connect to your existing laptop (whether it be Mac, Chrome, Windows, etc.) to present lessons that way, or connect to a slot-in PC to turn the display into a giant Windows computer. You can also connect to ViewSonic’s Google-certified Chromebox with built-in Chrome OS to transform your Google-based classroom into a distance learning hub.
