New and still-evolving health and safety guidelines for schools require teachers, administrators, and IT directors to quickly transform educational settings to adapt to a new normal. While solutions may vary from school to school, the goal will be the same: to provide the same quality of education for millions of students despite unprecedented circumstances.

To ensure learning continues for students, teachers will be required to reimagine the classroom, with technology that delivers lessons simultaneously, in real-time, for both students who attend class in person, and for those connected remotely using their devices. Interactive front-of-class displays play a vital role in bringing content to life, creating an engaging and collaborative environment that instills deep learning.

Six elements of the hybrid classroom

ACTIVPANEL ELEMENTS SERIES: Promethean’s interactive panel helps teachers deliver more dynamic and interactive lessons and content. Lessons for students can be placed in any cloud-sharing platform, where students can easily access them from home.

DEVICES: Promethean offers Chrome OS, Android, and Windows compatibility, so schools can choose the computer operating system that works best for their IT ecosystem.

MULTI-DEVICE MIRRORING: Promethean’s Screen Share application within the ActivPanel Elements Series allows you to duplicate and control student devices and collaborate from anywhere.

INTERNET CONNECTION: A high-speed Internet connection is essential to ensure that the Screen Share collaboration and video conferencing tools work smoothly.

DISTANCE LEARNING BUNDLE: The bundle includes a webcam, a tripod to mount it on, and a cable to connect to a laptop. Point the camera toward the teacher and their interactive panel, then connect to remote learners using any conferencing app.

VIDEO CONFERENCE SOFTWARE: Use videoconference software with robust security settings that enable communication from any device. Promethean is compatible with all of them.
