Samsung Electronics America, Inc.,<\/a> an industry leader in the global display market, announced today its partnership with STS EDUCATION<\/a>, a respected education technology solutions provider, to supply Samsung Interactive Displays<\/a> to schools looking to energize classroom learning. Through the partnership, schools that order Samsung Interactive Displays<\/a> will receive installation and ongoing maintenance services from STS EDUCATION and access to Samsung\u2019s professional development resources.<\/p>\n

Launched at the 2023 ISTELive conference<\/a>, the Samsung Interactive Display (model name: WAC)<\/a> is an all-in-one collaboration hub that fosters classroom engagement and hands-on, active learning. Available in 65-, 75- and 86-inch models, the Interactive Display<\/a> is built on the Android OS to provide intuitive usability for educators, enabling them to integrate the display with their lesson plans and favorite instructional tools right out of the box. Educators and students can wirelessly connect their own devices to the board and share and interact with content in real time. To further enhance classroom interactivity, a multi-touch feature allows up to 20 users to simultaneously write and draw on the board with a specially designed pen or their fingers.<\/p>\n

\u201cA national poll from Gradient Learning<\/a> found that 80 percent of educators are concerned about their students\u2019 engagement levels in the classroom,\u201d said James Fishler, Senior Vice President, Display & Home Entertainment Divisions, Samsung Electronics America<\/a>. \u201cAs a result, educators and academic leaders are working tirelessly to address this critical challenge. Forward-thinking districts realize that the old-school practices like traditional lectures don\u2019t resonate with today\u2019s learners and are instead embracing new-age solutions, including the Samsung Interactive Display<\/a>, which promote active participation among students, helping to draw their attention to lessons, boost their knowledge retention and ultimately reach their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
