To grasp how an Interactive Flat Panel works, you’ll need to perceive how the board bodily works. After this, it’s possible you’ll need to try one other of our articles on the best way to use a wise board as a TV, however for now let’s dive into the fundamentals.

How IFPs Detect Contact
There are two ways in which a wise board can detect entry. The overwhelming majority of Interactive Flat Panels use a technique of enter detection known as infrared contact. This includes small infrared lights and cameras constructed into the body. In the event, you can imagine the oblong IFP floor in your thoughts, then think about a layer of rays being emitted over the floor of the display screen.

This invisible aircraft of sunshine can’t be seen by us, however, the cameras constructed into the body are in a position to see them. The cameras, usually positioned on the 4 corners of the board, watch the aircraft in infrared gently. They detect at any time when that layer of sunshine is damaged by a stylus or a finger. In that method, the board can detect when it’s touched, and in addition the place it’s touched.

This infrared tech constructed into the body is the most typical method an IFP detects contact, however, there are some boards that use a know-how known as capacitive contact. This is identical know-how that your smartphone makes use of to sense contact. This works by utilizing {an electrical} present to sense when the display screen is touched. Capacitive touchscreens are usually dearer to fabricate in IFP sizes, which is why the infrared know-how is far more frequent.

Capacitive contact is usually favored as a result of it could produce a cleaner look than the infrared system, and requiring much less bodily {hardware}, however, the infrared know-how has come to a good distance for a lot of decreased value. A very good instance of this progress is the Recordex Era 4 SimplicityTouch, which sports activities with the thinnest infrared sensor body available on the market.

The Benefits of Interactive Flat Panels
Now that you perceive how Interactive Flat Panels work, it’s possible you’ll be asking, what are the principal benefits of an IFP gadget? How the distinctive design of a wise board permits you to transcend a “regular” pc setup?

First, an Interactive Flat Panel is optimized for presenting and educating, with the principle characteristic of the big dimension permitting a full room to have the ability to see the display screen. Whereas this performance may very well be achieved with a projector too, a wise board provides this large-screen format by permitting straightforward and fluid contact entry. Permitting the consumer to write down current data in an extra intuitive and private method.

Projectors additionally usually require calibration, upkeep like bulb-changeouts, and different moving-part {hardware} failure over time (like followers and lens focusing gears). To not point out routine cleansing. In comparison with this, utilizing an IFP is admittedly seamless. Some fashions have no-touch calibration and are able to exit the field. Only a fast wipe-down to take away mud now and again is all the upkeep you want!

Previous to that, a wise board paired with the appropriate packages enables communication expertise that mixes one of the best of each digital and bodily large-screen choice. Software program like Recordex’s XPress annotation program takes all of the guesswork out of utilizing an Interactive Flat Panel, with easy-to-use controls which can be optimized for the wants of the classroom. In actual fact, XPress is bundled with Recordex’s SimplicityTouch IFPs because it’s such an important device for getting essentially the most out of the board.

That’s why, at Recordex, we’ve taken the time to optimize each {hardware} and software program of our Interactive Flat Panels. With a unit just like the SimplicityTouch IFP, paired with XPress annotation, the entire guesswork is taken out from utilizing and managing an Interactive Flat Panel.

What Are The Best Online Teaching Strategies For eLearning Classrooms?

How can you turn educational processes in the virtual classroom into a remarkable learning experience for your students? You can enrich your teaching style with interactive strategies that will make your learners more engaged in your lessons and truly excited to participate in the learning activities.

The purpose of interactive teaching strategies is to improve your students’ interest in the learning process and make them active participants in the lessons. Interactive activities offer broader benefits than simply achieving educational goals. In fact, you can easily incorporate this type of exercise into your virtual classroom lessons to help improve your student’s communication skills and teamwork abilities, as well as to develop their creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.

In addition, interactive activities teach students patience, tolerance, and understanding toward others and encourage them to think outside the box.

With this type of teaching approach, students learn in a different way – instead of being passive listeners to the lecture during the lesson, they are actively involved in the learning process by participating in activities, games, discussions, solving mysteries, storytelling, and so on.

The largest group of activities includes interaction between the teacher and students or student-to-student interaction. A fulfilling remote learning experience must include an abundance of materials and content, such as visuals, audio and video content, hands-on experiments and demonstrations, etc. One of the most convenient tools for interactive activities in the virtual classroom is the online whiteboard as it supports various types of files and provides the perfect conditions for collaboration in real-time with multiple participants.

Interactive Teaching Strategies For Learning In The Virtual Classroom
Brainstorming

Brainstorming is an awesome activity to include in your lessons to boost your students’ creativity and excitement about the topics you are teaching. It is the perfect group exercise where every participant can contribute with their ideas and knowledge on the online whiteboard. Brainstorming is one of the easiest-to-do interactive activities because it has countless forms ­– from short sessions that encourage students to share ideas on a certain question or topic, to longer sessions where you can go into deep discussions on the subject of the lesson.

The virtual classroom is well equipped with tools that make brainstorming fun and effective, like the online whiteboard, the chat feature, and the videoconferencing feature. How do you hold a brainstorming session? Think of a topic or a word/expression/term that is related to the lesson and present it to your students. Come up with rules for sharing content and ideas in a way that will include everyone, yet will prevent chaos during the brainstorming session. For example, students can use the raise-a-hand feature in the virtual classroom when they want to share content. The online whiteboard supports various types of content and multimedia. Students can easily draw, write texts, or share images on the topic.

Educational games, puzzles, quizzes, and competitions

When there is fun, there is engagement. Bring excitement into the learning process by incorporating different games, quizzes, and even competitions that are suitable for the lessons, as well as for the age of the students. There are classic games that can easily be played online in the virtual classroom, like word puzzles, Hangman, Pictionary, Two Truths and a Lie, and many others. Many students love to compete. Set teams and assign a breakout room to each group of students. Give the same task to everybody, such as “Who can come up with the most flowers that bloom in the fall,” or “Make a list of animals starting with the letter ‘K’.” Set a timer for the assignment. After the time is up, the teams can join the general online whiteboard and share their results. It is a great opportunity to start discussions on various topics and learn more in-depth about the subjects of the assignments.

Storytelling

Storytelling is an exceptional interactive activity that can be incorporated in many different forms and on many occasions in the virtual classroom. For instance, the teacher can use this activity to present a new topic with the help of various sources, including images, videos, different voices, cards, etc. on the online whiteboard via videoconferencing. In addition, storytelling can be used as a group activity. Divide the students into teams, give them the topic, and assign them to different breakout rooms where each team can create their own story on an online whiteboard. After all the groups have completed the task, the whole class can share their stories on the main online whiteboard.

Think, pair, and share

This is a great interactive strategy that improves your students’ problem-solving skills, creativity, teamwork skills, and critical thinking. Usually, the teacher presents a problem that is related to the subject of the lesson and encourages discussions in the class. After students have expressed their ideas and solutions, the teacher divides the class into groups and assigns them to work in teams in separate breakout rooms for a certain period of time. Every student has to contribute to the task and participate in the exercise by communicating with their teammates and sharing ideas.

The online whiteboards in the breakout rooms become the field for brainstorming and collecting ideas and content in various forms until the team agrees on the final answers to the task. The last part of this exercise is shared with the rest of the class. This is the moment when students from the different breakout rooms take turns presenting their solutions to the problem on the main online whiteboard. The rest of the teams can take notes and, after all of the groups of students have finished with their presentations, it is time for a discussion and, why not, a peer-assessment activity. The Think, Pair, and Share exercise is a wonderful way to develop the problem-solving skills of students and encourage them to think outside the box.

Interactive teaching strategies bring excitement to the classroom and offer an alternative to the concept of passive learning where students have to listen to the educator and memorize the lectures. When learners are active participants in the educational process, they learn while, at the same time, having fun and being active and engaged. Interactive activities stimulate creative thinking in learners and, in general, have the potential to be more effective in achieving learning goals.
