Ways to upgrade your class to next level with interactive flat panel PART 2

2018-06-21

Many schools are beginning to introduce interactive flat panel displays. Although it is powerful, many functions of it are not used. We have summary some methods and suggestions and hope to give you some inspiration in using interactive flat panel displays.

 

  1. Play video games.

Try to create more interesting classes. You can connect the game console to an interactive flat panel display, such as the Wii and Xbox that kids love. Some games are entertaining and can mobilize children’s interests. All you have to do is find them.

 

  1. More equitable way to call.

Use tools like Random Student Number in your interactive flat panel to ensure that you don’t always ask the same child to answer questions. You can also use it for assignments or select partners or groups to distribute the game fairly.

 

  1. Use your interactive flat panel as a learning center.

When your child is doing group activities, you can use the IFP as a group center to show the children’s discussions. You can also use IQTouch’s mobile casting features to capture student work on your mobile phone and display it on an interactive flat panel display.

 

  1. Include test preparation in the game.

You can use PowerPoint on your interactive flat panel to make your own games or courseware. You can also download and install online games.

 

  1. Conduct a virtual field trip.

Field trips are amazing learning opportunities, but they require a lot of work and money to achieve them. However, with an interactive flat panel display, any journey can be made a reality. Using Google Maps and local videos, you can travel around the world and videos. Virtual travel can also help before or after actually visiting a local destination. Use your IFP as an introduction or summary of your trip.

 

  1. Create a cool new application.

If you are a technical teacher, your interactive flat panel can help teach your child how to create his own iPhone or Android application. You can use them with different operating systems (Android or Windows) and run them directly to test their results.

 

  1. Efficient review of assignments.

You can display work content on the interactive flat panel without writing job problems and parsing or verbal checks on the whiteboard. You can connect a document camera to the IQTouch interactive flat panel to complete student work. You can easily switch between teacher answer sheets and different student worksheets or notebooks for sharing and collaboration.

 

  1. Try a new way of reading.

Use the reading function in the IQClass interactive classroom system to read any document you find. It is a good idea to use your voice to experience good words with your children!

 

  1. Campus management and class management.

If your school is lucky enough to have an interactive flat panel in each classroom, you can show the entire school video or display an emergency drill warning. Some schools even use their IFP morning and afternoon notices. With the IQ School campus management solution, it is also possible to implement a pre-set schedule to play videos and announcements as planned.

Ways to upgrade your class to next level with interactive flat panel

There is no doubt that the interactive flat panel display (IFP) is an amazing tool in the classroom. But it is possible that you do not make full use of this tool! The following are some of the small ideas we have compiled. We hope to give you some inspiration.

1.Flexible use of timing function

The alarm function of the interactive flat panel IQTouch can expand many uses. In addition to timing classroom activities to?ensuring the pace of classes, the use of IFP also allows you to incorporate other media into your bell? you can show photos, play songs or YouTube videos.

2.Professor time management.

There are many ways to use timers in IFP. You can use a variety of time options and stopwatches, including alarms.

3.Saveyour calling time.

You don’t need to name your students?every day, since?your students can use their tablet or sign your IFP. They can do it on their own, which is a fun morning habit for kids and saves you a lot of time.

4. Master class behavior.

If you are using a classroom management system like IQClass, you can use an interactive flat panel to take it to the next level. You can give the children a star when they are excellent, and I believe they will be happy to see their star collection increase.

5.Paperless class

It’s not a good idea to bury it in a pile of paper every day. You can access all saved course materials directly from your computer’s hard drive, Google Drive, or IQClass Plus personal folders and display them on your interactive flat panel. You can save your test papers and handouts in real time and send them back to your personal online drive, or e-mail these notes to students in the absence.

6.Make corrections a full class participation.

IQTouch allows your entire class to participate in the editing process. Students use pens to collectively review assignments on interactive flat panel displays. Each student selects a color for editing. In this way you can find out how different and different the way they think.

7.Give the video a different feeling

By using web-based teaching software IQClass Plus, when you play video for kids, if you want them to pay attention to something on the video, or need to comment on the video, then you just need to put the video directly in IQClass Plus.?You can use the brush annotation directly on playback. These tags can also be saved for next use.

8.Ask your students to be teachers

If can control classroom lectures, it must be a very interesting experience for children. IQTouch’s EShare feature wirelessly connects tablet content to IQTouch interactive flat panel displays. Students can manipulate IFP by clicking on a PowerPoint presentation or pressing a video on YouTube.

Case Study-Global Indian International School (GIIS)-Singapore

2018-05-31

Global Indian International School (GIIS) is an international network of award-winning schools with 23 campuses across 7 countries. They include Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, UAE, Vietnam, and India, offering Indian and international curricula to students from diverse backgrounds.

At the end of 2016, GIIS Singapore new campus has started construction work of two main buildings. With the aim of building a school with state-of-the-art technology, the school IT team came to IQ. We offered them a proposal for the smart classroom and smart campus development.

Challenges

Fully aware of the importance of education technology in the 21 century, the GIIS team has confidence in blueprinting a school of the future. When it comes to the classroom A/V design, they are clear about what they want:

  • An interactive, intuitive and innovative teaching & learning environment, where technology is easy for teachers to use and fun for students to engage.
  • Efficient campus management via a networked AV system. Keep multiple devices under regular control through the internet of things to achieve energy conservation.
  • Audio and video announcements broadcasted on the campus could be timely, effective and assigned destination.
  • Integrate the traditional emergency alert into the overall networked system to achieve a safe campus environment.

Solution

At the request of the GIIS team, IQ has designed a comprehensive campus AV solution that rises to the challenge:

Each classroom is equipped with two IQTouch interactive displays and an IQView interactive document camera. Together with bundled software IQ Interactive Education Platform, they create a vivid and interesting learning environment.

Each classroom installed a central controller (IQSchool Converged Station) by simply utilizing the network infrastructure. So that automated and centralized control over classroom devices become possible through a single software platform (IQSchool Manager Software) operated by IT admins. More excitingly, audio and video broadcasting could be realized on the same platform without involving another system.

A desktop touch control panel is available on teachers table, enable the teacher to control all AV technology in the entire classroom from a user-friendly interface. At the press of a button, switching multiple AV signal sources could never be easier, as well as powering up the display and the lights (IQSchool Power & A/C Control Terminal), adjusting volumes of the classroom speaker. To prevent teachers from throat pain, a hands-free wireless microphone (IQ 2.4G Wireless Mic) is provided for them to wear around the neck or clip on the lapel.

Customized Functions

A particular request from the school is to balance the sound of the fire alarm and the sound of the classroom audio/video. When the teacher is having the class with classroom audio/video on, the fire alarm might not be heard by the crowd in case of fire emergency, which leads to campus safety hazard. How to integrate the independent fire alarm system into the IQSchool system network has become a challenge to the IQ team.

After several simulation tests and on-site evaluation, IQ engineers have come up with a solution, to connect a network I/O sensor between the IQSchool server and the fire alarm system, meanwhile the server software gets modified so that when theres fire alarm, the server software automatically activates a mute task to all the classroom speakers, more than that, a voice announcement of emergency could be broadcasted to every corner of the campus, along with a video of evacuation route if available.

 

Equipment list:

  • IQTouch Interactive Flat Panel 65 & 75
  • IQView Document Camera
  • IQSchool Manager Software
  • IQSchool Converged Station V330
  • IQSchool Power & A/C Control Terminal
  • IQ 2.4G Wireless Mic
  • IQSchool PA Announcement Station

10 Things to Consider When Choosing the Interactive Panel for Your Classroom

2018-05-25

Last time we gave you 5 tips to think about how you are going to choose the right interactive panel for your classroom, now heres the other half of our thoughts:

 

Internet access – Wired or wireless?

As weve mentioned before, teachers are given two options of operating system when using nowadays interactive screens: Android and Windows. These two systems are built in separate modules inside the panel, both require network connection if internet access is needed under the two OS. Therefore make sure the network interface (an RJ45 input port) is available for your machine, or at least there should be Wi-Fi connection to allow basic web browsing. An extra point could be awarded to those manufacturers that offer both wired and wireless network options.

 

Never underestimate the sound effect

Interactive panels for education purpose are often used by the teacher to play music or movies in class to make students more engaging. Besides the 4K resolution to ensure supreme image quality, the integrated sound system is also worth your attention to achieve comfortable audio quality. The built-in speakers for most of interactive panels in the market are 2*10W due to limited space within the screen, especially since the current trend is towards slimmer frame and thinner structure design. However it makes great difference where the speakers are embedded in the front or back, and user experience has told us that front facing speakers present much better sound effect than those built in the rear.

The glass covering the panel as protective surface

Classroom equipment often have higher demand when it comes to durability. You dont want to be worried every time when the teacher is not there and the students would just break or damage anything they touch. As the centerpiece of classroom device, interactive panel should be covered with at least 4mm toughened glass to make it free from casual accidents. Not to mention some manufacturers even go for the covering glass with 7H hardness.

Another considerable design is to use anti-glare or anti-reflective glass for educational interactive panels, so that wherever you sit in the classroom, your viewing angle would not be compromised because of the light.

 

Wall-mount bracket or mobile stand

Would you rather fix the interactive panel on the wall or have it adjusted to a mobile stand that goes around Its more of a question of who you are teaching. For classrooms with younger kids it may be better to use a height-adjusted stand so that students can also enjoy the fun of interaction when they feel like it, while for senior schools and higher education institutions, the wall mounting solution is usually considered to make the classroom a more neat and formal teaching environment.

 

Spend your budget wisely for better service

The market is full of capable vendors who could provide you with the interactive panel that suits your budget the most. The question is, if you ever consider splitting a reasonable amount of money to the aftersales service that different vendors would offer. A lousy installation service may give you great headache since the lifting work of the panel is not an easy one, and they are not often covered in the manufacturers warranty policy. So be careful to choose a trustworthy installer who will enhance your user experience with your new interactive panel, not the other way around.

 

 

After all thats been mentioned, we believe now you have some clearer ideas about the topic. If you are still wondering, feel free to talk to us and maybe what you want is just around the corner.
