It may be one of the greatest pet peeves for teachers. You get some fancy new technology to use in the classroom, oohs and aahs abound, but it’s incompatible or difficult to use with existing software and other systems. Or you need to learn an entirely new system, so it becomes a major time investment that counters what you thought you’d save with the technology. In fact, a SAM Labs report found that more than one-third of teachers spend their free time learning tech that they need to use in the classroom. “A” for effort, but after all the work they do with our kids, teachers need a break!

What educators need – and what will invariably make their jobs easier – is technology that can link up to existing devices seamlessly and that will require minimal effort to learn. This is where having an open platform solution can provide huge benefits. For interactive displays, open platform is essentially an agnostic tool that can connect with any other devices in the classroom environment.

Personalizing the Education Experience

One of the critical benefits for teachers and students alike is that an open platform system enables a more personalized, one-on-one learning environment. They are able to wirelessly communicate with mobile devices or third-party applications, and they can do so on technology that is already familiar to the students. Many of them are using tablets and other mobile devices at home, so giving them platforms in school that they already know only makes sense.
