How to give your school a technology makeover
If you’re still using chalkboards or older smartboard models, the answer is likely yes! Technology is central to nearly everything we do, and introducing students to modern devices helps enhance collaboration and technical skills. In addition to benefits for students, modern display technology allows teachers to streamline lesson plans and create an interactive, engaging learning environment.
Our team at Sharp partnered with a high school in Texas to upgrade its technology infrastructure with a variety of modern solutions. The school had smartboards in place, but they were no longer meeting classroom needs.
Sharp worked with school officials to implement technology solutions that provide the collaboration tools students and teachers need for effective learning.
Interactive Displays
The first step was using the school’s open wall space to create a more immersive learning experience. Sharp selected its award-winning AQUOS BOARD® interactive display lineup to meet classroom needs. The installation included thirty-six 70” AQUOS BOARD interactive displays, four 70” displays on mobile carts, and two 86” AQUOS BOARD interactive displays on mobile carts. Mersive Solstice Pods were installed in every classroom for wireless content sharing and streaming.
In the school library collaboration rooms, Sharp installed three 70” displays. These touch-enabled displays allow multiple users to interact simultaneously for seamless collaboration and presentations.
Video Walls
Sharp created a video wall in the school’s main library, consisting of four 70” displays in portrait mode, spanning 120–130” across. The video wall delivers high-quality visuals for training sessions, presentations, and demonstrations. It is paired with a Mersive Solstice Pod for wireless content sharing, along with Datapath software and controllers to enhance the experience for both staff and students.
Digital Signage
The school replaced bulletin boards used for communicating important messages with three 65” digital signage displays in the cafeteria and foyer. These solutions transform high-traffic areas, allowing staff to share photos, announcements, sporting events, club meetings, community service opportunities, and more. Digital signage provides a dynamic, modern way to communicate.
Sharp is proud to have supported this school in modernizing its technology infrastructure. With these upgrades, students and staff can collaborate more effectively in connected, engaging learning spaces. Faculty and students benefit from these tools and can continue using them to support interactive and productive learning experiences.
