Introducing new technology in the classroom can be daunting—not just for students, but especially for teachers. The learning curve can feel steep, with time-consuming training sessions and the need to create new materials and processes. Smart boards are becoming a staple in classrooms, but many require teachers to conform to their proprietary platforms and rigid teaching methods. But learning today requires flexibility, meeting teachers where they are and adapting to where they need to go.

At West Ottawa Public Schools, the goal was simple: give teachers the freedom to teach their way, using tools that adapt to their unique style. That’s why the district chose BenQ Boards. Whether a teacher prefers to present from their laptop, move freely around the room using wireless screen sharing, or work directly from the smart board, BenQ Boards made it easy for them to teach how they were most comfortable. 

The beauty of BenQ Boards is that teachers can start using them right away, without having to overhaul their lesson plans or change their approach. The boards offer future-ready tools like cloud lesson prep, InstaShare wireless screen sharing, and Tap ‘N Teach for ultra-fast logins with an NFC card. Teachers have secure, instant access to their personalized settings and files, all without wasting precious class time.

As West Ottawa shifted from teacher-centered to student-centered learning, BenQ Boards helped teachers adapt to new ways of teaching—while still allowing them to stick to what works for them. Whether it’s accessing Google Workspace, using Google Meet for virtual classes, or downloading apps from the Google Play Store’s Teacher Approved collection, the possibilities are endless.

BenQ’s EZWrite whiteboard software provides an unlimited digital canvas for teachers to create dynamic, visual lessons. They can integrate images, documents, and videos seamlessly, giving students a more interactive and engaging learning experience. And with InstaShare, teachers can easily share lesson materials from their device to the board, or even let students share their work from their own devices.
