Digital Classroom Versus Black/white Boards by ITgurlie(f): 12:56pm On Feb 13, 2016
Fifty years ago, teachers would walk into almost any classroom in the world and find their familiar teaching tools - chalk & blackboard, instructional materials, and maybe even an overhead projector.
By the end of the 20th century, with computer technology and internet connectivity widely available, blackboards gave way to smart boards that enabled teachers to display and interact with computer images shared from their computer via projector.
Modern classrooms reflect not only continuing advances in technology, but also migration of technology into the hands of the student. Twenty-first century educators are embracing a student-centric approach to learning.
From a technology perspective, today’s students may have personal laptops, notebooks, tablets, ipads, or even smart phones as part of their arsenal of learning tools.
Students can connect to the internet via wireless networks, and in a growing number of situations, schools have even embraced the concept of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).

Managing the Learning Process
Certainly, the teacher’s role has shifted from one of being the sage-on-the-stage to the more challenging guide-at-the-side. But
• How exactly do today’s teachers guide their tech-savvy, iPad-toting students through the learning process?
• How do teachers orchestrate learning activities that harness the benefits of student-centric technology?
• How do teachers prevent the technology in the students’ hands from becoming an impediment to successful learning?

Managing the Technology: The Digital Classroom Advantage
Progressive schools are using classroom management platforms like Digital Classroom platform to help teachers manage their classes and keep their students focused on the learning process.
• Digital Classroom platform enables teachers to share their computer screen and audio(or that of a model student) with the class for presentations.
• Teachers can also monitor student screens and audio.
• Teachers can launch programs, websites, or other utilities on all student stations.
• Self-study module that enables teachers to build multimedia exercises that students can execute in class or outside of class.
• Homework module even lets students work on assignments from home, and lets teachers review and grade assignments from home.
• CAD Lab management platform lets you share computer displays between stations in rich-media applications like image processing, and media arts, Engineering and other rich-media subjects requiring high definition graphics and/or smooth video.
• Language Lab management platform help teachers manage their classes and ensures that their students have sufficient opportunities to practice and hone their listening and speaking skills. It enables teachers to assign in-class activities such as pairing and recording where all students are able to speak concurrently.
The Digital Classroom platform is a full dedicated Video keyboard and Mouse Network, which brings many technical benefits:
• Security: There is absolutely no potential breach of software or any security systems
• Video Quality broadcast: The video image is switched in native resolution, refresh rate, number of colours with no delay.
• Robust: All our Hardware components comes with a Three Year Warranty;
• Operating System independence: Document camera and Video conference unit integrated.
• Technical Benefit: The technical benefits of the Digital Classroom platform CAD lab are immense. Being a dedicated network totally external to the computer makes it the most performing classroom management system on the market.

So it is obvious that The Digital Classroom Platform is an evolution in Technology for schools and institutes to help optimize the teaching / learning process.
