Preparing Schools for the Future

The Paso Robles Joint Unified School District in California has chosen BenQ Boards as their solution for equipping the entire district with Wi-Fi enabled smart boards. With over 6,000 students across its eleven schools, the district aims to provide a modern and engaging learning environment.

The traditional approach of updating cabling and projectors posed significant challenges and required a massive budget and time that the district didn't have. Recognizing this, the district opted for a more efficient solution.

BenQ Boards integrate seamlessly with schools' most favourite apps, including Google, Kahoot!, ClassLink, and more. This integration allows for a smooth transition into the digital classroom, enhancing the learning experience for students.

The BenQ Boards offer fast, personalized log-in for teachers using a Near Field Communication (NFC) card. They also come equipped with annotation tools, wireless screen sharing, screen recording, and cloud storage capabilities. This enables teachers to create and share content easily and efficiently.

EZWrite 6, a software packaged with the BenQ Boards, is packed with classroom tools for all subjects. It transforms collaboration with a digital canvas and tools that make sessions productive and engaging. Students can share information and develop ideas, fostering a more interactive and personalized learning experience.

The software can run on various operating systems and devices, including Android, Windows, Mac, iPad, Chromebook, and web browsers, ensuring a consistent and engaging experience across all devices.

InstaShare, another education-focused presentation and collaboration solution offered by BenQ, allows users to share screens, photos, files, and live camera feeds. With InstaShare 2, teachers are no longer bound to their board and can move around the classroom for active learning.

The BenQ Boards have also been chosen for their germ-resistant surface and tools to support the district's mission for greater equity and inclusion. For English Language Learners (ELL), translation tools are available, ensuring no student is left behind.

BenQ's X-Sign Broadcast software turns any BenQ smart board in the school into broadcast signage, keeping everyone informed and up to date. Moreover, the Account Management System (AMS) allows schools to create user-specific account settings where teachers can quickly access their files, apps, and settings directly from the IFP.

The implementation of BenQ Boards has increased engagement by allowing for hands-on learning and enhanced interactivity. The boards have also enhanced multimodal learning with audio, visual, and touch capabilities. Paso Robles Joint Unified School District is now well-equipped to provide a modern, engaging, and inclusive learning environment for its students.
