Education is evolving in today’s fast-paced digital world, and the Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) is at the forefront of this transformation. These cutting-edge devices are redefining the K-12 learning experience, bringing a world of interactive possibilities right into the classroom.
Among the advantages they provide:
A 2009 study from the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), written by noted researcher Robert Marzano, noted that using interactive board technology was associated with a 16 percentile point gain in student achievement.
A 2018 study found early childhood students (ages 3-6) learn better through touch technology than with keyboard and mouse interfaces, and better than control subjects who used paper worksheets. And unlike tablets where students work solo, they may tend to collaborate on the larger interactive panel.
Interactive panels can serve as the tool at the center of classroom management. It becomes the shared communication gateway, keeping track of time for projects. Apps monitoring time and decibels in the classroom can provide simple reminders about behavior and conduct throughout the day.
Unlike managing a class of Chromebooks or laptops, once interactive panels are installed, they require little maintenance nor do they get damaged from day-to-day use. Managing a class of Chromebooks or laptops often involves regular disruptions due to maintenance and accidental damage.
