Digital Displays in Education
Digital displays are yet another tool for the classroom toolbox as teachers and professors use them to interact with students. Students are responding and becoming more engaged than they have been in the past. Using tablets or smartphones as a companion display, students are able to interact in real-time with the class and instructor. Here’s what Gary Bailer has to say about digital signage in education:
It’s important to note that it’s not just the technology itself that makes the learning experience better; it’s the way it helps students engage with their instructors and other students. Empowering students with devices that communicate with other devices that teachers are using creates a collaborative, interactive learning environment, and that is what resonates most with today’s learners. Using these tools to enable them to connect with each other fosters the camaraderie that is often unquantifiable, but just as crucial to their development.”
