These days, interactivity is certainly a must.

With IQBoard all-in-one GR519, it has 3 sizes: 80’’,92’’,100’’. This screen doesn’t just boast “interactivity”, it benefits from a 10 point multi-touch functionality, offering the ultimate solution for touch screen applications. With this capability, there can be up to 10 people using the touch facility of the screen at any one time, making it ideal for classroom use with things such as educational games, presentations or even specialist software. An added benefit of our Whiteboard is that it comes inclusive with a range of stylus tools with a strong fabric tip, allowing chief users to benefit from pleasant day to day operation and increased longevity, compared to many others. 

It is also important that your chosen whiteboard offers good enough visibility for the whole class to see it properly. Viewing angles and screen brightness are often serious issues in classrooms, as many still rely on projectors and front projection screens to display content. Front projection screens in classrooms can present consistent problems for teachers, primarily causing shadows, calibration issues and that’s not to mention the general care to be taken over projectors which are subjected to heavy use. With this, also comes other considerations, such as classroom lighting levels, projector settings, projector bulb life, screen brightness and viewing angles. These are things that need assessing in depth before purchasing an interactive front projection screen for a classroom.

IQTouch series offers an alternative solution which counters many of these problems. Our IQTouch series have a high brightness backlit LED panel, offering great visibility from every angle, even in brightly lit environments such as classrooms.No more turning the lights off to display important content!

The use of an LED powered screen over a front projection screen is widely accepted to be a superior solution for classrooms, and in fact, front projection applications in schools are largely only derived from the use of OHPs (Overhead Projectors) which saw a decline in use around the early 2000s. As demonstrated by our IQTouch series, the cost of large format touch screens has drastically decreased in recent years, making it more affordable when budget concerns are an issue.

An investment in this technology would provide an overall enormous benefit to your educational institution when compared to many alternatives on the market, and there should be no reason why your school or University can not benefit from this superior solution as much as possible.

Our IQTouch series is both simple and intuitive, offering teachers the latest and most responsive touch technology to support an active and inspired learning environment.

IQBoard offers a wide range of products to ensure that your educational institution is offering its pupils the very best in learning support technology. In addition to the product mentioned in this article, there is a wealth of information about our audio/visual options available to you on our website. If you have some ideas about how you would like to integrate our technology into your school or University, please get in touch with us!

Classrooms and offices all over the world have come a long way since the use of traditional blackboards and chalk. Whiteboards, which came with wipe-away markers, gradually replaced blackboards (they were invented in the 1960s but did not become widely used until the turn of the century).

Compared with traditional interactive whiteboard, which will need a projector, a computer, an audio amplifier. While IQBoard All-in-one ( hereafter referred to as IQAio) is highly integrated multi-point infrared interactive whiteboard, central control system, wireless microphone stereo amplifier system, built-in OPS and other equipment. That is to say, with one key power on, all the devices such as interactive whiteboard, projector, built-in OPS, audio amplifier will be powered on. It brings great conveniences for teachers in classroom.

IQAio GR519 has 15 soft hotkeys on both sides, which has clear function classification. And it improved the efficiency of use for teachers in class.

What’s more, the uniquely designed IQUSB interface of IQAio GR519 supports one-line connection to external PC equipment. It supports intelligent switching of wireless microphones, interactive whiteboards and other internal integrated devices, without additional wiring to meet the needs of various teaching scenarios.

Configured with IQ Interactive Education Platform Software and IQ Class V6.0 software, IQAio GR519 enables teachers to do an interactive class atmosphere between teachers and students. Also it enhances students’ activeness in class.

As recently as a few years ago, it appeared that the interactive whiteboard technology was cementing itself as a permanent mainstay in the classroom — helping teachers to embrace technology and promoting 21st Century skills in students. Fast-forward to today, and the market has shifted. While a number of schools continue to use interactive whiteboards, many are transitioned to interactive digital displays—which look more like flat-panel TVs or jumbo-sized tablets than dry erase boards—as they fund new purchases. 

An interactive whiteboard is a large display that connects to a computer and a projector. The projector projects the computer’s desktop onto the board’s surface, where users control the computer with a pen, finger, or other device. The board is typically mounted to a wall or floor stand. Student response systems and other such accessories enable interactivity among students.

One teacher may create an engaging lesson that focuses on one task, such as a matching activity where students use fingers to match items. Another teacher might integrate multiple items into a lesson plan, such as photos, music, and websites, that students can interact with and even write comments on the board. With the interactive whiteboard and interactive display teachers can transform the one-computer classroom into a workable instructional model.

Classroom applications for using interactive whiteboards and interactive digital displays include:

· Multimedia lessons and presentations including audio and video

· Collaborative problem solving

· Showcasing student projects and presentations

· Virtual field trips

· Recorded lessons that can be used by substitute teachers

· Documentation of student achievement

There are interactive whiteboards and digital displays that meet every school and district budget. Teachers report that increased student engagement is the number one benefit to teaching with these tools. The technology allows teachers to integrate multiple information streams into a coherent lesson individualized for their students and they provide an extraordinary opportunity to create classroom environments where students with different learning styles can engage and learn from each other. 

If you want students to have a better chance at putting new information into their long-term memory banks, classroom collaboration and education technology are a must.The best classroom collaboration strategies revolve around products that help teachers bring crystal-clear, detailed images into classrooms to engage students and enhance lessons.

The twenty-first century version of the schoolhouse blackboard allow teachers to present information — including notes written in real-time — in a much more engaging way than chalk ever could. Interactive whiteboards and touchscreens can display images and allow participants to mark up what they see, taking notes and moving pieces around to make learning a more tactile experience.

 Our Interactive Flat Panels allow the teacher to create and show any content on the screen to the class from their computer. They can then connect students on their devices to the LED for interactive and collaborative lessons. With a high resolution and low glare image, even the smallest of text is easy to read on the LED. Multi-touch allows the teacher to control and annotate over any application that is running on their PC, MAC or Chrome OS directly from the screen. You can even use gestures to control your applications.

Contribute Interactive Software enables content delivery, collaboration, Casting and Multi-Casting all through a FREE cloud-based platform. Simply add your content, share it with your students or colleagues and they are able to collaborate with you – all through a browser. 

Great displays and hardware require thoughtful software to run properly. When choosing your display technology, look for products that come pre-loaded with robust classroom collaboration software that allows both teachers and students to easily share information to the display.

When it comes to choosing technology for the modern K-12 classroom, the best ed tech solutions have the following three features:

1. They allow teachers to provide students with a wealth of visual and tactile experiences to promote better interactive learning and long-term memory. Images should be crystal-clear, with rich color and detail.

2. They come fully loaded with intuitive, easy-to- use software so teachers can get up and running without wasting time learning a new system.

3. They allow for classroom collaboration between multiple devices so that students and teachers can seamlessly share their work with each other.

With these three items on your digital shopping list, you should be able to equip K-12 students with the most effective tools for interactive learning in a connected, collaborative environment.

Technology has come such a long way over the last number of years that learning has changed completely. The facilities available to teachers and students have become much more technologically advanced.

An interactive whiteboard gives you the ability to use a display as a touchscreen device for everything from whiteboard to collaboration. An interactive whiteboard is a tool that allows multiple people to engage in a collaborative experience using a touchscreen to take notes, annotate content, and more.

Research studies have found that:

1. Interactive whiteboards support a range of learning styles; visual, auditory and kinesthetic.

2. The use of the interactive whiteboard in the classroom leads to consistent improvements across all subjects.

3. Interactive whiteboards have very positive impacts on the attention, attitude and motivation of all pupils and produce a co-operative, community of learning ethos in the classroom.

4. Interactive whiteboards help with teaching abstract and difficult concepts and complex ideas - visual tools help pupils concentrate for longer and understand more fully.

There are two major types of interactive display whiteboards. First is a stand-alone display. This is a display screen that can be interacted with directly. The images show on the screen the same as they would on a computer display or digital signage screen. The difference being that touch is enabled. The other major type of interactive whiteboard uses an interactive projector – most commonly a short-throw projector that will be installed just above the display surface.

In addition, Sharing ideas through an interactive whiteboard is a way that companies can take an idea to the next level. Companies find a real benefit in the ability to easily share ideas using interactive whiteboards. Not to mention, being able to share and convey ideas in such a short amount of time increases the speed that new initiatives can begin with everyone on board. Saving time saves companies money. Interactive whiteboards are also heavily utilized in the education space to enhance the learning process. What’s more, interactive whiteboards allow teachers to record their instruction and post the material for review by students at a later time. This can be a very effective instructional strategy for students who benefit from repetition, who need to see the material presented again, for students who are absent from school, for struggling learners, and for review.
