Traditional whiteboards are limited in their functionality. Teachers have to rely on dry-erase markers, which require constant replacement, and cleaning was cumbersome. Lessons are static, with no capacity to integrate multimedia, annotate digital content, or enable student interaction beyond verbal participation. Schools need a solution that could better align with the needs of today’s tech-savvy learners
The days of whiteboards and flipcharts are long gone!
Replaced by interactive touchscreens which give you new ways to engage with your students
A touchscreen offers significant advantages over a traditional whiteboard in a classroom setting, enhancing teaching and learning experiences. Unlike a whiteboard, a touchscreen combines interactive technology with multimedia capabilities, making lessons more engaging and dynamic. Teachers can access digital resources, annotate directly on materials, and display videos or interactive simulations, all from one device.

"Letting go of the old, welcoming the new."
Touchscreens save time by eliminating the need to write everything manually; pre-prepared slides and lessons can be displayed instantly, enabling smoother transitions between topics. They also support collaborative learning, as students can interact directly with the screen, solving problems or contributing ideas. This interactive aspect fosters greater engagement and participation.
Additionally, touchscreens offer built-in tools like graphing software, drawing applications, and access to online content, broadening teaching possibilities. Unlike whiteboards, they maintain a clean, clear display without smudging or fading, ensuring better visibility for students. They also reduce paper waste by allowing digital note-sharing, promoting eco-friendly practices
Touchscreens are more inclusive, as they can integrate accessibility features like text-to-speech, magnification and coloured backgrounds, catering to diverse learning needs. Overall, touchscreens enhance teaching efficiency, student collaboration, and accessibility, making them a powerful upgrade for modern classrooms.
