Classrooms are fast-becoming flexible, multi-purposes spaces designed to facilitate blended and hybrid learning. During the pandemic, remote learning, which is a concept that had never before been explored on a large scale, was implemented on a national level.
Teachers and students had to rely on new EdTech that sustained their learning process. Blended learning EdTech essentials combine in-class and out-of-class teaching. This model breaks the ‘one-size-fits-all’ format whilst maximising the educational impact for students.
As these solutions need to be quickly adopted, it’s important they are easy to use by both teachers and students, and compatible with education programmes.
Desktops and Laptops Desktop computers are still maintaining their reputation as useful tools in education. However, it is undeniable that laptops are usually preferred due to convenience and portability. Useful for teachers and students that want to work in a variety of environments. Combining laptops with the power of USB-C technology, means that users get all the benefits of a laptop, as well the increased productivity that comes with a desktop monitor.
Interactive Displays Even before the pandemic, interactive displays were an EdTech essential. Touchscreens capture the attention of even very young students whilst improving comprehension and basic skills among older students, making the overall learning experience more engaging. Blended learning needs to parallel the in-classroom experience offered in schools. Students are unlikely to install iLFDs to their home-classroom, however, there are an array of desktop interactive displays that offer the same touch screen experience.
Cameras and audio devices Cameras and audio devices were key components in remote learning. Both teachers and students benefit most from face-to-face communications, regardless of the chosen location for the day. Shortly after the first lockdown, schools realised that embedded cameras and microphones were not up to standard, delivering warped video feed and sub-par audio.
High quality video and audio can help students feel more engrossed in the lesson, the higher quality the technology used in a blended learning environment the more familiar the learning experience will be to students.
Document Solution Multi-Function Despite rapid digitisation, physical copies of learning materials are still widely used in a classroom. In the form of instructions or worksheets, notes or presentations, printed documents are here to stay.
There is a wide variety of printers on the market falling into either the inkjet or laser printers category. Laser printers are speedy and print high volumes of black and white documents whilst also are cheaper to run in a big organisation. However, for a high-quality colour printing and easy home set-ups, inkjet printers are the perfect solution.
