If we had to select a positive outcome from the disruption that schools and students had to face from the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s that there has been a renaissance in classroom technology upgrades. And they’re here to stay! A recent Forbes article noted that having the right hybrid learning technology in place is a critical solution that can allow students to collaborate and feel connected remotely. 
Sharp has a long record of providing customized technology solutions to educational institutions. Recent examples that stand out are the work with the Penn Hills School District and the West Allegheny School District, both located near Pittsburgh, PA, as well as the Orange Unified School District in Orange, CA. They all shared a common challenge: dealing with outdated devices while seeking simple, easy-to-use solutions to streamline their curriculum in a hybrid environment. However, once Sharp came in, there was a noticeable transformation in how students were able to learn and collaborate. Here are a few solutions that any school district should consider when upgrading their technology for the remote environment.
Implement interactive displays
For a while now, educators have been saying goodbye to chalkboards and whiteboards, and hello to interactive displays – and this just accelerated during the pandemic. Both the Penn Hills and West Allegheny School Districts were outfitted with Sharp’s AQUOS BOARD Interactive Displays that immediately impressed staff and created a more engaging environment for students.
Interactive displays offer flexible installation, making them ideal for a variety of classroom layouts. Additionally, they connect easily to laptops so that teachers can showcase content wirelessly. Sharp displays also feature eShare capability, a wireless casting collaboration app that allows users to mirror the display with their laptop or other device. Because of these features, teachers can easily move throughout the room during lessons and use their own devices to remotely operate the display.
