How Interactive Displays Enhance Classroom Engagement

Say goodbye to sleepy students and hello to lessons that buzz with energy! Today's classrooms are evolving fast, becoming more interactive, exciting and student-focused than ever, and interactive displays are at the centre. These dynamic and immersive teaching tools are game-changers for engagement, creativity and collaboration.

Our research shows that 71% of educators believe students pay attention for longer, and 76% say that students are more engaged when using an interactive display. Here's how they're making learning more fun (and effective).

Active Participation

Interactive displays turn passive learning into active involvement. Instead of simply watching or listening, students can touch, write, drag, and create directly on the screen, turning lessons into experiences and allowing students to become participants rather than spectators. Whether it's solving a maths problem by dragging numbers into place or drawing directly on a diagram in science class, students feel more connected to the material, and as a result, they retain information better.

Multi-Media Learning

No two learners are the same. Some absorb information through visuals, others through sound, and many through doing. Interactive displays support all these learning styles by allowing teachers to seamlessly combine videos, images, websites and interactive games into their lessons, so no more one-size-fits-all teaching. This multi-media approach caters to diverse learners and keeps students interested by varying the content and format. With everything in one place and easily accessible, lessons flow more smoothly and become more engaging.

Real-Time Annotation

Interactive displays also allow teachers to annotate in real-time directly over web pages, documents, presentations and images. This feature brings lessons to life, making it easy to highlight key information, answer questions as they arise or reinforce concepts on the fly. Students benefit from this immediacy and clarity, especially when complex ideas are being explained. Plus, you can save your annotations and share them later, so students always have something to look back on, giving students a valuable reference for revision and homework.

Encourage Collaboration

Collaboration is a crucial skill for the modern world, and interactive displays create the perfect environment to develop it. Many displays support multi-touch functionality, allowing multiple students to use the screen at once. This encourages teamwork, problem-solving and communication as students work together on tasks, from brainstorming sessions to group challenges. These interactive moments help develop soft skills and make learning a more social experience.

Wireless Screen Sharing

Teachers can now move freely around the classroom while still controlling what's on the screen. With wireless screen sharing, content from any device can be shared instantly on the interactive display. Whether it's a tablet, laptop or smartphone, teachers can share and control content without being tied to a desk. Even better, students can connect their own devices to present their work to the class, making them feel involved and confident. This flexibility promotes a dynamic classroom where ideas flow easily, and everyone gets a chance to shine.
