School is no longer that immutable and static environment that you see in some old films. On the contrary, it is a territory open to innovation, which advances with the new generations of both students and teachers. And let’s never forget: school is an open window onto the future!
Today’s school, everyone agrees on this, is very different from that of previous decades, just to give a time limit to the comparison. The training offer is always at the center of attention, it is the first parameter of judgment in the evaluation of an institute. But today, when choosing which school their children will spend three to five years in, parents also pay attention to other details, starting from the technological equipment of the institute which, even if in the past it had a certain importance (in particular for technical and professional institutes), today it is fundamental for any type or level of school. For what reason? Let’s start from the main one: today’s students grow up surrounded by technological equipment and images. It is therefore perfectly normal that teaching must adapt to new languages and new learning methods, which do not exclude the presence of the traditional textbook, but which extend the lesson and teaching activity to the vast, fascinating and essential territory of multimedia.
Samsung is one of the most innovative and cutting-edge brands regarding the Educational proposal, of which it is a world leader, with the WAD series of interactive displays available in different sizes (65”, 75” and 86”), which offer an operating system Android 13 on board and are EDLA (Enterprise Device License Agreement) certified, capable of fully supporting access to Google applications, which are so important in the educational field.
What does technology bring to school?
First of all, it represents a simplification of the work of teachers, who are offered new teaching tools, secondly, but no less importantly, multimedia teaching involves students much more in school activities, for all ages and all types of schools. More and more often, therefore, the presence of innovative teaching environments is a determining factor in the choice, by students and families, of the institution to enroll in, and for school managers, they are simply a winning card, not a luxury nor, much less, a useless investment.
This consideration has obviously led to greater attention in the choice of technical means: schools evaluate very carefully and choose based on various criteria, first and foremost ease of use. Technology in schools must be intuitive, to represent a sort of extension in a teaching environment of what is already used in other areas (touch monitors, wireless connections, etc.).
Samsung’s WAD series of interactive displays was born with the idea of offering a familiar and intuitive user experience. By downloading applications from the Google Play Store and using pre-installed apps such as YouTube and Chrome, it is easy for anyone to delve deeper into any topic in a productive and innovative way. Compatible with other Android devices, full of widgets and equipped with a home screen that is very easy to customize, WAD displays offer all the flexibility needed to create an environment suited to everyone’s learning needs, also thanks to smart and wireless screen sharing on multiple devices.
In fact, according to the most recent studies, the student must be an active protagonist in the learning environment: it is therefore easy to understand how concepts such as flexibility, multifunctionality and mobility, as well as access to resources via the cloud and collaborative learning, are basic concepts in today’s school and of tomorrow, a true learning ecosystem that strengthens student-teacher interaction.
