ECNO Conference Spotlight |
|
|---|
|
This week marked the ECNO Annual IT conference for Ontario tech leaders. This event has become the one not to miss for education and industry. As much as the conference was focused on tech & professional learning, equally important was the opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, enjoying golf, social events and appreciating the power of informal learning. Congrats to ECNO award winners Paulla Bennett and Chris Dale. |

ViewSonic Panel and Myviewboard Whiteboard Review
By Tim Gard, Chief Learning Strategist |
|
|---|
|
VewSonic IFP6550 4K Ultra HD Interactive Flat Panel and MVW Software Suite |
|
|---|
|
Interactive panels have become a cornerstone of modern education, revolutionizing how students and teachers interact with content. But what makes one panel stand out from another in this competitive market? One key differentiator is the combination of hardware and software each company offers. A later entrant to the market, ViewSonic has benefited from examining existing hardware and software and innovating accordingly. Interactive panel hardware across assorted brands tends to offer similar features and warranties, with occasional innovation setting one company apart from another. One area where significant variation occurs is in the software suites each company provides. |
|
|
|
|
The variations occur more with the approach rather than the content. For example, most major interactive panel software for education will offer similar tools, offline and student interactivity via a portal and some great resources to make the user experience as intuitive and effective as possible. ViewSonic has had the luxury of taking a broad view of the current software for interactive panels and made some unique and, I believe, impactful changes. |

2023 State of EdTech Leadership Survey
In the classrooms of 2023, cybersecurity, rapid changes in technology, necessities for off-campus access, dramatic increases in the quantity of digital resources and devices, and the lack of interoperability between systems have expanded the scope and depth of those responsibilities even further.
