One of the biggest hurdles in teaching today? Keeping students focused when attention spans seem to shrink daily. For teachers already stretched thin, anything that helps save time and keeps students engaged is a major win. That’s where BenQ Boards come in—helping teachers quickly share lessons and get the most out of every class minute.

West Ottawa Public Schools learned firsthand how much classroom setup can impact focus and transitions. With outdated projectors and desktop computers linked to hardwired speakers, teachers were often stuck at their desks, battling with technology. Changing screens or sharing material was a time-eater, leaving students waiting and easily distracted. Teachers found themselves spending even more time reining in the class, trying to bring everyone back to the lesson.

With BenQ Boards, teachers have flexibility built right in. From crisp 4K visuals and built-in speakers that make everything easy to see and hear, to multiple ways to use the board—whether that’s an HDMI connection, directly from the board, or wirelessly—classroom flow has never been smoother. And with Google Classroom integration, BenQ Boards allow teachers to open familiar apps and content directly on the board, creating an intuitive, efficient experience. This ease of use helps educators jump right in, replacing outdated displays with a high-quality solution that’s powerful yet easy to learn.

With BenQ Boards, everything a teacher needs to keep lessons flowing and students engaged is right at their fingertips. Imagine starting class with a simple NFC tap to access your customized settings—no log-in hassle, just straight to teaching. Need to jot down a quick note or highlight an important point? The EZWrite whiteboard tools let users draw, annotate, and create instantly. Plus, with InstaShare wireless screen sharing, teachers and their students can share screens wirelessly, bringing their projects and ideas right up to the front without missing a beat. And since BenQ Boards are Google-integrated, all the most familiar and buzzed about educational apps as well as personal network, cloud, and local files are ready to go, making lesson transitions smooth and maximizing teaching time. BenQ Boards end game is to make the teacher’s life easier so they can focus on what they do best: inspiring and engaging students.

And West Ottawa? After a two-year pilot and gradual rollout, West Ottawa saw a real difference in classroom efficiency and lesson flow. Google integration, whiteboarding, and other built-in tools all helped reduce transition times, leaving teachers more time for instruction and students more time to engage.
