Benefits of Interactive learning in schools

Increased engagement & active learning –

Students in classes that leverage an interactive touch screen display are more engaged. They pay more attention. They’re more positive about learning. Teachers often report that increased attentiveness and engagement are the top benefits of teaching with interactive display technology. Student are also learning in a common environment due to this generation growing up with digital technology so students are most familiar with interactive technology rather than paper and pen which makes them want to interact more.

More opportunities to collaborate –

Students working together consistently tops the list of active learning approaches. Interactive touch screen displays are masterful at enabling collaboration, especially with the multitouch feature that lets several students write onscreen content at the same time. It’s an ideal way to brainstorm, present, analyse text or images. Work through an experiment or engage with a learning game.

Screen mirroring for hybrid learning –

Collaboration skills are critical. Today’s employers expect employees to work in teams and collaborate effectively. The traditional one-to-many lecture format fails to foster these skills. Interactive displays enable constructivist learning. They enable students to work together to make connections and develop knowledge.

Accessibility for students with disabilities –

Classroom technology can be a great equalizer for students with special needs. Interactive touch screen displays integrate easily with assistive tech. Like captions, text highlighters and text-to-speech software. Students that have difficulty holding a pen can write on the display with a finger or tennis ball. Early learners can trace letters and shapes. Advanced learners can collaborate with classmates on more complex lessons at the display. Interactive whiteboards help teachers offer more learning opportunities to more students. Lessons that bring students to the board let kinesthetic learners get up and move. Videos and multimedia presentations appeal to visual and auditory learners. And for those that learn best by reading? Teachers can capture and save on-screen notes and distribute the files for independent review.

Sync with cloud drives –

Most of our board will sync with ‘The cloud’ or any other shared save drive which build a sense of safety when planning lessons, This means all your previous lessons and planning can be easy accessed. This will also help with absent students who’ve missed previously learning or student who just need that extra bit of time

Facilitate Student-led Learning –

Students need feedback to know when they’re on the right track. Decades of research have shown that less instruction plus more feedback creates greater learning. In fact, it doubles how quickly students learn.

Harvard Physics professor Eric Mazur was one of the first to figure this out. His Intro to Physics students was floundering. Although they were book smart, they were failing at applying this knowledge in other ways. The prof’s peer-instruction model got them back on track. Mazur assigned students problems to ponder, then discuss in small groups.
