Kankakee School District in Illinois serves almost 6,000 K-12 students across nine schools. As part of the Illinois Competency-Based Education Pilot, the district focuses on a learning structure that incorporates real-world knowledge that addresses challenges, provides future career-related competencies, and helps their students learn and earn credits in other ways besides traditional coursework. These efforts are designed with the purpose of removing constraints within a conventional classroom.
"We have been coveting the BenQ boards, so when we had the opportunity to transition to the BenQ boards, we were just jumping up and down"
Elizabeth Gibson, Assistant Principal, Taft Primary School
"The BenQ boards help us by allowing our teachers to be more flexible in their instruction"
Melissa Fierro, Technology Integration Specialist, Kankakee Illinois School District
"I don't think that I could function as a classroom teacher anymore without my BenQ board"
Tami Scheiwiller, 2nd grade teacher, Taft Primary School
Kankakee School District implemented BenQ Interactive Displays as the technology of choice for their classrooms. BenQ helped their teachers eliminate the need for a separate computer or having to relearn a completely new system, permit both teachers and students to share ideas, notes, and opinions as if they were annotating on the same whiteboard regardless of location with EZWrite, and directly save and upload files to their Google Drive, all while prioritizing healthcare with the anti-glare, and antimicrobial screens.
