5 Fun Online Games to Play On Your Classroom BenQ Display

Short student attention spans are one of the most often mentioned challenges that educators face while teaching new generations of young learners.

Adjusting to and hopefully remedying this phenomenon is widely discussed, and one of the most common approaches to addressing issues with student engagement is introducing educational games into curricula. Specifically designed for learning, the games we would like to recommend offer fun and useful ways to conduct your class and make each session more compelling.

The easiest way to play games on your BenQ interactive display is through a web browser. This doesn’t require any software installation, and you do not need to worry about the availability of the related app on the BenQ App Store*.

You can go about it in two ways.

You can launch games via the Firefox browser on your BenQ display. To do so, tap the address bar at the top of the screen, and type the web address of the game you would like to play via the on-screen keyboard. This works just the same as with any other browser you use.

Alternatively, you can run it on your computer and mirror it to your interactive display (see this article for tips on how to mirror your computer screen to interactive displays). And don’t worry, you can control the screen on the display with touch functionality!

We would like to offer our recommendations for fun web-based games you can play on BenQ interactive displays and improve the student engagement in your classroom.

There are still some that believe that games in any form are a waste of time, and do not provide educational value. We say that’s wrong. By introducing the mentioned games to your classroom, you can find more engaging, fun ways to teach concepts, words, and other skills. In addition, this format of teaching is much more attractive for students than paper handouts and memorization. Rewarding good behavior and school performance with play is also a great motivator for improvement, a perfect way to improve student engagement, and has been around for centuries or longer. We would like to challenge you to try this approach with your younger students, and believe you will notice changes for the better right away.
