Whiteboard your way to great & interactive education

Messy hands and conventional chalks are long gone
Digital whiteboards are a new norm wherein students can draw and write with digital pens or use a mouse
Unlike traditional whiteboards that use color markers, digital whiteboards use digital stylus pens or other devices for students to write, draw, or, design
Digital whiteboards can be connected to audio and video to build interactive presentations and collaborate using screen-sharing from any device in real-time
Digital whiteboards provide students and teachers the ability to save whiteboard presentations for future reference
Modern cloud-based video conferencing software are light-weight applications that can be accessed from various devices viz. tablet, phone, or a laptop
Simplifying the learning process is what schools, universities, and other institutions are looking at, but when it comes to teaching children, getting their attention is what’s important

Let’s consider a few benefits of white boarding in the education sector.

Whiteboards make it easier to build structured lessons & brainstorm sessions.

A digital touchscreen allows teachers to write, sketch, and import files and photos with a simple stylus or their fingers
Modern video conferencing software allows teachers to erase or save their presentations with a detailed description of the lesson
Conventional whiteboards made it extremely difficult for teachers to build content by spending hours and again rewriting new content for the next class
Conventional whiteboards never gave teachers the ability to create and save their work as that is not possible
On the contrary, a digital whiteboard can record and save every piece of content for future review.

Whiteboards facilitate engagement between students and teachers.

Getting student attention and creating engagement with various students can be a challenge for teachers and students.
Digital whiteboards provide a plethora of opportunities for teachers to create an engaging ecosystem wherein students can interactively leverage various learning styles.
As students have various styles of learning, some prefer audio, some video, or some even prefer learning through images.
A whiteboard makes students more focused through visual & immersive learning.
Teachers can create question sets for students to engage with and get the right answers on the whiteboard itself

Making the learning process interactive & fun.

As whiteboarding creates an engaging scenario, it also makes students interact with one another, this fuels a child’s interest in using digital whiteboards to write, draw, and play games after a class are done
With so many touch points, students can multitask viz. sketch a shape, and at the same time solve a simple math problem.
Learning content can be presented memorably and creatively. Importing files and images is a great feature kids can leverage in real-time to draw, doodle, etc.

Greater interactivity for students without attending class.

With internet access, students can easily join or attend a class through video or audio and then switch to white boarding once the teacher starts presenting learning content in real-time.
Web conferencing software helps students take notes, make changes on the whiteboard, and stay engaged for the entire class.

Teachers can create lectures for different classes through data compartmentalization.

As web conferencing platforms are cloud-based, they are easy to use
Teachers can leverage this feature to create class-wise or topic-wise content through features like compartmentalization, wherein each piece of content, be it topic-wise or class-wise can be taught and recorded

Wrapping it up

Moving forward, video conferencing software will experience greater market penetration as teachers and students are practically using it daily to conduct classes
Spending more time on these platforms using the whiteboard will continue to build a stronger student-teacher ecosystem that creates a win-win situation for both.
