At Bunan Junior High School, the educational goal is to cultivate the spirits and minds of students to foster a strong sense of humanity and intellect capability to become global leaders. To achieve this, the first and foremost thing is to embrace a “spirit of innovation” and provides students with a progressive education. After adapting to digital textbooks and smart tablets, the school has chosen BenQ Board interactive displays in its daily teaching environment.
Issue
Outdated Audio Visual Equipment
Previously the school used an old projector with a touch module to create a collaborative learning environment. However, the colour of the images and videos of the materials appeared darker, and students couldn't see the content clearly. Therefore, the school decided to replace the old projector with a smart, digital interactive display that solved the problem.
Solution
Remote learning in response to the pandemic
The school found the two-way mirroring and two-way touch helped the students learn online during the pandemic. The BenQ Board has delivered effective performance by no other company. The school felt that the two-way sharing of what the teachers and students wrote in real time was a useful feature for class engagement because everyone was not physically in the same classroom.
Results
Effective and efficient teaching
After the installation of BenQ interactive displays, students mentioned that It became very easy to see the materials clearly, while the sound performance of BenQ Board was also satisfying. The high-quality screen and speakers improved the comprehension of teaching topics. Compared to the old projector which required a darker environment in the classroom, displaying contents onto a digital whiteboard provides better image quality. Teachers no long need to do the hassle of turning the lights off and on. It also improved the class efficiency.
Convenient annotation
Both the teachers and students liked the convenience of using the easy, intuitive whiteboarding tools on BenQ Board. They could display teaching materials, images and videos, or write and draw directly on the digital whiteboard.
Compatibility with iPads
Mr. Tsuka, science teacher in the Bunan Junior High School, said he really enjoyed the benefits of sharing contents wirelessly from his iPad to a BenQ Board. Because all teachers and students use an iPad in the school, it is convenient to share the iPad screen to BenQ interactive displays instantly with no lag.

It became complimentary with the digital textbooks that students read.

In the classroom, teachers always encourage students to come forward and write on the interactive display to explain what they have learned. Since everyone touches the same screen, the antibacterial glass is very useful as a protection against the pandemic.
