Schools across the country face a common challenge: how to improve aging infrastructure to integrate the generation into classrooms, ensuring students are prepared for the long haul. According to NEA Today, part of U. S. public schools are not the only ones that are in the U. S. U. S. citizens are over 50 years old. These complexities are problems such as deteriorating VGA wiring, replaced whiteboards and projectors, and other audio-visual pieces that teachers struggle to make functional while meeting long-term criteria. The Paso Robles Joint Unified School District in California was also in this situation. family crossroads. They needed a quick and cost-effective solution. For less money than just rewiring, the school was able to take a leap into the long haul with BenQ cards.
Paso Robles serves more than 6,000 students in its 11 schools. Despite the annual expansion of its neighborhood, Paso Robles faced replaced classrooms, equipped with projectors and VGA infrastructure from the 90s. The classic technique of upgrading wiring and reflectors posed significant challenges: construction. Opening walls, hiring electrical and wiring contractors, and laying giant new wiring, all of which would require a huge budget and time that the district didn’t have. In addition, this solution did not offer any new features for teachers in the future.
“Technology has come a long way since our study rooms were built, but you didn’t realize it when you walked in,” said Scott Buller, MBA, director of data generation at the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District. We have the budget to upgrade the infrastructure to the new projector models. But even if we did, it would only get us halfway to what we truly desire so that our students are in a position for the future. We didn’t want to rebuild our study rooms, we looked to remodel them.
A workaround has emerged: equipping the entire community with Wi-Fi-enabled smart forums. This would allow the district to delay infrastructure upgrades until the budget is available. Most importantly, smart forums would provide teachers with the generation needed for participatory and collaborative learning. .
After a significant era of testing with many smart card manufacturers, Paso Robles settled on BenQ cards. BenQ’s forums were the most productive selection for interactive presentations that met and exceeded all of the district’s must-have requirements, adding a germ-resistant surface and equipment to the district’s project of greater equity and inclusion.
“BenQ outperformed each and every smart card we’ve evaluated,” Buller said. “Beyond fancy hardware and technology, it presented a complete package. From the intuitive user interface to remote management, BenQ presented much more than just a smart board. : presented a seamless, educator-centric experience focused on the future of learning and flexibility.
While BenQ forums are designed to create active learning opportunities for everyone, they are designed for busy teachers. Teachers can get off to a good start with very little training. They provide teachers with a fast, unadvertised connection, an NFC card, annotation tools, wireless screen sharing for their own and students’ devices, as well as screen recording with the ability to save, open, and share non-public files in the Cloud Garage and over the network.
The BenQ Boards ecosystem is comprised of license-free software designed to address the most demanding situations for educators and IT staff. These come with AWS-qualified EZWrite whiteboard software, InstaShare wireless screen sharing, as well as account management system (AMS) and device management system (DMS). EZWrite 6 transforms collaboration with a virtual canvas and teams that make sessions productive and engaging, allowing students to share data and extend concepts across multiple operating systems and from other locations. Teachers can use their BenQ forums as a whiteboard, monitor, computer, and wireless screen sharing system. And because the software is cross-platform compatible, it can run on Android and Windows devices, as well as web browsers on Mac, iPad, and Chromebook, with a consistent, engaging experience across devices, even sessions with remote participants. . EZWrite 6 also includes training equipment for all subjects, adding stopwatches, rulers, protractors, compasses, and more. Whiteboard sessions can be recorded to the cloud, allowing users to temporarily pick up where they left off or students to access recorded lectures on any device and refer to them later. Teachers can also open IWB, PDF, PPT, and DOC files, as well as symbol files, directly on the whiteboard. To complete the experience, the split-screen window feature allows multiple programs to be opened side by side, without the need to click between content, making it even easier to teach classes and achieve greater understanding.
For collaboration, InstaShare goes beyond simple screen sharing. It is an education-focused presentation and collaboration solution designed to give teachers greater flexibility during their lessons. This rugged solution provides cross-platform support, allowing up to nine users to share content from their Windows, Apple, Android, and Chrome devices simultaneously. They can share their screens, photos, files, and even live camera feeds to have more interesting chats. With InstaShare 2, teachers are no longer tied to their dashboard. They have the freedom to move around and interact with their class, creating the best environment for active learning.
As the central hub for each and every classroom, administrative and IT staff have the equipment you want to effortlessly manage and update the district’s BenQ forums with DMS and AMS. DMS provides IT administrators with at-a-glance device analytics for any BenQ card. you can seamlessly monitor and analyze the prestige of all BenQ devices in a single dashboard, adding remote control of displays, apps, and OTA updates for maximum convenience. AMS allows schools to create user-specific account settings through which teachers can temporarily access their files. applications and configurations directly from the IFP forums. BenQ integrates with the school’s favorite apps, adding Google, Kahoot!, ClassLink, and more. Finally, they take advantage of BenQ’s X-Sign Broadcast software, which turns any BenQ smart dashboard in the school into broadcast signage and allows schools to stay informed about events, protection protocols, and emergencies.
For the Paso Robles school, BenQ’s board of directors stockpiled a significant amount of cash while also offering teachers equipment to expand 21st century skills. These include:
Increased engagement: With BenQ boards, teachers can introduce hands-on learning. From the screen’s interactive antimicrobial display, multiple students can participate in categories with enhanced interactivity, expanding participation.
Increased interactivity: Students are encouraged to take a more active role in their (less sitting and lecturing). For example, BenQ forums allow students to manipulate content, explore concepts, and solve problems, selling critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Personalized Learning: Screens have opened the door to the promotion of personalized learning reports for all students. For example, teachers can use BenQ Board’s translation equipment for ELL students.
Multimodal Learning: With the BenQ Board’s audio, visual, and tactile features, teachers were able to attend classes that include all learning modalities.
“We were at a crossroads in terms of how to move our study rooms long-term at an affordable price,” Buller said. “Instead of rewiring our study rooms and all the money available to upgrade our old projectors, we were able to invest in BenQ forums and propel our school district into the long term of learning. We’ve stockpiled cash and increased engagement, accessibility, inclusivity, collaboration, and technical skills, all while fulfilling the wishes of our teachers and IT staff. The features and equipment of BenQ cards have reshaped the way we learn.
