If you want students to have a better chance at putting new information into their long-term memory banks, classroom collaboration and education technology are a must.The best classroom collaboration strategies revolve around products that help teachers bring crystal-clear, detailed images into classrooms to engage students and enhance lessons.
The twenty-first century version of the schoolhouse blackboard allow teachers to present information — including notes written in real-time — in a much more engaging way than chalk ever could. Interactive whiteboards and touchscreens can display images and allow participants to mark up what they see, taking notes and moving pieces around to make learning a more tactile experience.
Our Interactive Flat Panels allow the teacher to create and show any content on the screen to the class from their computer. They can then connect students on their devices to the LED for interactive and collaborative lessons. With a high resolution and low glare image, even the smallest of text is easy to read on the LED. Multi-touch allows the teacher to control and annotate over any application that is running on their PC, MAC or Chrome OS directly from the screen. You can even use gestures to control your applications.
Contribute Interactive Software enables content delivery, collaboration, Casting and Multi-Casting all through a FREE cloud-based platform. Simply add your content, share it with your students or colleagues and they are able to collaborate with you – all through a browser.
