When it comes to the classroom atmosphere, qualified and experienced teaching staff have always been aware of the fact that children have a tendency to get distracted easily or get bored of a lecture that is too imposing on them. For instance, a brand new topic is being explained by a teacher and at the same time, the students have to take notes. They are expected to pay attention to the information, understand and process that information and write down what they’ve understood for revision. Words are thrown across the page but important facts are usually skipped or left out. This not only leaves the information lost forever in the student’s notes but also in their minds.
Letting a student focus on one or two tasks at a time is advisable. They can listen to a lecture and watch visual images on a screen. Focusing on a lecture and visualizing concepts makes it easier for a student to fully understand a concept. They need not worry about taking down notes in between, unless there is something really important they would like to jot down for further reference. The teacher doesn’t have to spend too much time checking up on who has completed their notes. The teacher doesn’t need to spend time reading out notes to the class. All of this time and energy is saved for learning alone. At the end of a lesson, the information can be digitally handed out to each and every student and it can also be saved online. The students can access the relevant information any time they want. They do not spend any time writing elaborate details down while they’re in class and they will all receive the same set of notes at the end of every class.
A student’s attention span can be very short. They are simply unable to focus once interest is lost and the rest of the day is just a downward spiral. This doesn’t make things any easier for the teacher either. What the projector does is, it takes bored students and a drained teacher and livens things up for them.With visual aids, entertaining audio scripts and on screen activities, the projector allows the learning experience to flourish while holding the student’s attention with consistency. The purpose of a lesson, the intricacies behind the new subject, the summaries at the end of a chapter, are all converted into interactive and social activities that involve both group and individual contributions. Teamwork thrives under the team building activities and allows the students to perform better and be inspired to engage with one another to discuss the lessons and explore topics actively.
Whether the staff is using a tab, mobile phone or laptop, the projector can be connected to any or all devices. Students also have the option of connecting any of their educational devices. Quick sharing, transfer and accessibility ensures ease of access to teaching resources, learning activities, games, slideshows and much more.
From educational games to interactive video sessions, team building activities and presentations to quick and entertaining slide shows, interactive projectors help organize the learning process while keeping tabs on all educational resources. The integrated software is also capable of analysing student’s patterns of learning. This is why it is important for educational institutions to include training for the use of digital learning software and projectors into their teacher training programs.
Several publishers across the world have moved on from traditional textbooks to digital learning aids as the methods of learning are steadily evolving. Having an upgraded classroom with high end technology and trained teaching staff has never been more important. When combined with the right teaching hands, technology like the interactive projector can truly be a boon to the modern education system.
