Which Interactive Solution Is Right for Your School?
Interactive technologies offer an effective, engaging, and easy way to provide teacher-led instruction. Whole-class tools are designed to put students at the center of the educational environment, so they’re more engaged, more collaborative, and more motivated.
There’s a wide array of choices when it comes to whole-class technology, which you can read about in our recent blog articles: portable IWBs, interactive projectors (standard and laser), touch boards, and flat panel displays. Some of the most important considerations are what will work for your classroom configurations and for the teaching and learning styles of your educators and students.

Always keep in mind the size that is needed in order for students to clearly see the lesson—including fonts, web pages, and graphics. Large classrooms truly need bigger image areas to ensure that details and learning opportunities are not lost. In addition, if you want several students working simultaneously at the front of the room, you will need the space for them to accomplish that without it becoming a game of Twister.
