In today's classroom, it's more important than ever to find ways to keep students engaged and collaborating. BenQ Boards and Wixie are two powerful tools that can help you achieve this goal.
BenQ Boards are interactive smart boards that can be used to create engaging and interactive lessons. Wixie is a cloud-based platform that allows you to create and share interactive learning experiences. When used together, BenQ Boards and Wixie can create a dynamic learning environment that fosters active student engagement during lessons and classroom collaboration.
Find the Perfect Activity for Every Learning Goal
Wixie's built-in libraries provide thousands of options for interactive whole-class activities on your BenQ Board. Simply search on your Wixie dashboard to find the activity that matches your learning goal. For example, have students express an opinion with a survey or graph as they come into class to engage them in a topic you are exploring that day.
With more touch points, the interactive smart board is easy to use with even your youngest learners. Combine a Wixie activity and the BenQ Board during morning meeting or circle time to get students moving and involved as you review and revisit topics and concepts, like daily weather.
Foster Collaboration with Instantly Sharing Student Responses and Outcomes
The BenQ Board's InstaShare tool connects student devices to the board so you can bring up students' work in Wixie for the entire class to see, review, compare, and celebrate.
You can display up to nine student screens at one time to foster real-time collaboration and promote active participation and an exchange of ideas. Combine InstaShare with students' work in Wixie to easily see how different students solved a math problem, identified a character’s traits, responded to a prompt, and much more.
Share Recorded Lessons and Demonstrations Your Way
Use the BenQ Board's EZWrite 6 whiteboard software (no subscription fee) to capture a screen recording of your Wixie assignment demonstration. Then, simply share the recording with students who are absent or whose learning plan requires repeated directions. You can even add the final video into the Wixie file for use as a future flipped lesson or with another group of students or learners next year.
Connect to Wixie Directly from Your BenQ Board
While you can always share your screen to the BenQ Board, they are more than just an interactive screen. Add Wixie from the BenQ app store to your profile, so you can simply log into your BenQ profile and use your Wixie account from any BenQ Board, without needing to connect your device. Build your Wixie lessons from home on a personal device for use at school. There is no need to worry about missing cords or device breakdowns and you won’t see notifications or other distractions during a lesson to keep the focus on learning.
Wixie and BenQ for the win!
