New EdTech Classroom is excited to announce our partnership with Viewsonic, the leading provider of classroom computing and electronics software worldwide. We share Viewsonic’s mission to create innovative solutions to make teaching and learning more engaging, interactive, and accessible for all students.
If you’ve spent time in a classroom, you’ve almost certainly used one or more of Viewsonic’s products.
Their influence in the area of innovative technology solutions in education is undeniable, so it isn’t surprising that they continue to develop cutting-edge solutions to help create the classroom of tomorrow.
A perfect example is Viewsonic’s myViewboard, digital whiteboard software designed by teachers for creating and delivering interactive lessons with the aim of enhancing teaching and learning in a technology-enriched classroom.
What’s more, any educator can use myViewboard for free, and taking advantage of this powerful digital whiteboard to design interactive lessons doesn’t require the use of one of Viewsonic’s physical interactive whiteboards.
That being said, using myViewboard software with a physical Viewboard is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.
Viewsonic Viewboards are available in a variety of sizes to best suit your classroom needs, and every version features an ultra 4K screen for a pristine quality display as well an ultra-responsive touchscreen that’s both intuitive and downright enjoyable to use.
I admit to being skeptical about the practical utility of touchscreen displays in the classroom, but after two-days presenting with one at this year’s Future of Education Technology conference in Orlando, I’m not sure how I ever managed to teach without one.
Sliding my fingers across the screen to advance a presentation and then pinch zooming with my left hand while drawing directly on the screen with my right made me feel like Tom Cruise from the Minority Report.
It wasn’t just more engaging for the people watching me present, it was a whole lot more fun for me as well.
Suddenly the idea of simply teaching from my laptop and projecting it to screen became significantly less appealing and seemed so…dated.
The combination of ease-of-use, practicality, and sheer wow-factor of Viewsonic’s digital whiteboard software + physical touchscreen display represent an exciting next step for technology-enhanced teaching and learning, and here at New EdTech Classroom we’re proud to be their partner in innovation.
