Benefits of INTERACTIVE SCREENS in education

How can digitalisation help in the classroom?

Nowadays, digital technology has radically transformed the way we communicate, interact and access information. Digitalisation has brought about a change in social, economic and cultural dynamics. In this context, education emerges as a crucial area for adapting to and capitalising on the benefits of this technological revolution.

The European Union, aware of the importance of preparing future generations to face the challenges of a digital economy and society, is making significant investments in the education sector through the Digital Education Action Plan. The programme aims to improve the quality of teaching through digital tools that promote students' learning and personal and professional development.

Against this backdrop, interactive screens have become a key factor in the European plan for the digital transformation of classrooms. But how can interactive panels help throughout the students' learning process?

The purpose of this article is to explain the benefits of interactive screens in education, as they can be a great ally when educating future generations.

What is an interactive screen?

An interactive screen is an electronic device that combines the features of a monitor with the ability to interact with content. They usually have touch functionality, allowing users to control and manipulate elements on the panel without using external devices such as a mouse or keyboard.

Interactive screens open up an infinite world of possibilities when teaching lessons: you can display presentations, activities and videos, and work directly on the content.

What benefits do interactive screens bring to the education sector?

Interactive screens offer a range of significant advantages for teachers and students:

1. Encourage collaboration between students and participation in the classroom

Interactive screens allow students to participate actively in the learning process, sharing ideas and interacting with content. They can touch, swipe, draw and write on the interactive panel smoothly and naturally.

This promotes both teamwork and the development of students' social skills, making them more involved in the lesson and helping them retain information more effectively.

2. Improve classroom connectivity

Interactive screens optimise connectivity in the classroom. They allow documents and presentations to be transmitted wirelessly from the interactive panel to a computer, tablet or mobile phone and vice versa, with just one touch.

3. Optimise resources

Interactive screens save time and resources for educational centres. Students interact dynamically with content from their devices, access educational materials from the cloud, upload and download documents easily, and collaborate with the class in person or remotely.

4. Facilitate the integration of different multimedia content and educational platforms

Interactive screens can integrate a wide variety of multimedia resources, such as videos, animations, games and educational applications. This enriches the learning experience and provides multiple ways to interact with content.

5. Provide instant and continuous access to a wide variety of online educational resources

Thanks to their Internet connection, these screens provide instant access to a wide variety of online resources, such as encyclopaedias, databases and educational activities. This allows users to interact with their content and extends the reach of the classroom beyond traditional textbooks.

6. Real-time feedback

Interactive screens allow teachers to provide students with instant feedback. As a result, they can assess responses in real time, correct possible mistakes and offer additional guidance quickly and efficiently.

Ultimately, interactive screens in education offer an innovative and effective way to teach and learn, improving student participation, making information easier to understand, encouraging collaboration and providing real-time feedback.
