It is not always easy to know which digital tools to choose for your classroom, but it is crucial to consider the size and specific needs of the space to optimize teaching and student learning.
Why equip your classroom with interactive solutions?
Equipping classrooms with interactive solutions represents a significant advancement in education, offering benefits at all levels from primary school to university. These tools considerably increase student participation by making lessons more dynamic. Young children in primary school, often eager for new experiences, are captivated by technological equipment and find it a source of increased motivation. Beyond simple interaction, these solutions allow teachers to personalize their lessons according to each student's individual needs. For example, intuitive interfaces like Iolaos allow for annotating presentations and sharing in real time. Furthermore, the integration of interactive tools contributes to the development of digital skills. This skill development is undeniable and effectively prepares students to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Above all, these solutions represent a considerable time saving for teachers, who can automate certain tasks and thus focus more on pedagogical support.
Digital solutions for classrooms
We understand the limited space remaining in classrooms once all the desks and chairs are set up, which is why our digital solutions are designed to be discreet and take up as little space as possible to facilitate your daily use. These digital solutions include:
1. Interactive screen
Having a screen to display content has become essential in the classroom. Interactive displays are now replacing interactive whiteboards and projectors thanks to numerous intuitive features not found on traditional boards. Having an interactive screen in the classroom significantly reduces the need for teaching materials such as whiteboards and projectors, and also saves paper on handouts. Indeed, interactive displays like Speechi's Infrared range are durable and robust, making them particularly well-suited for intensive educational use.
In addition to being compatible with all operating systems (Android, Windows, Mac and iOS), interactive screens integrate numerous educational resources to make your courses more dynamic and personalized.
2. Camera and audio microphone
Having video conferencing cameras or wireless microphones in the classroom isn't always easy, but when you want to teach remotely or hold a video conference with colleagues, having a camera and audio solution readily available becomes essential. At Speechi, we offer cameras suited to all types of rooms. Compact cameras like the SPE-MG-104 or the SPE-MG-402-C are often discreet, portable, and ideal for smaller rooms, while rotating cameras like the SPE-UV510 and the SPE-CAM-VX-001 are better suited to larger rooms, such as university lecture halls, allowing you to automatically track speakers and zoom in on the content being displayed.
When it comes to audio solutions, it's common for the sound to be very low, or even nonexistent, when playing a video. To remedy this, a wireless microphone like the Speechi SPE-BM21 allows you to broadcast clear sound throughout the classroom. Furthermore, this microphone is compatible with interactive displays and video conferencing cameras, so you won't waste any time on installation.
3. Viewers
Document cameras have become very popular in classrooms as they save teachers time by eliminating the need to scan documents beforehand. Using a document camera is incredibly easy, as it connects effortlessly to your computer or interactive whiteboard for wider distribution. Furthermore, they are lightweight and portable , making it perfectly feasible to take the device home for remote teaching or simply move it from classroom to classroom.
This tool is perfect for all courses , whether it's showing a sample in a biology class thanks to its optical zoom or a passage from a book in history, these are good ways to project your documents in good quality directly onto an interactive screen so that the whole class can see them.
4. Collaborative software
Using software in class can be a great way to capture students' attention and increase participation. Software like Iolaos, specially designed by Speechi for schools, will become a true classroom companion. Iolaos is presented as an infinite whiteboard, allowing you to create slides, insert images and videos, personalize your lessons, and even liven up lessons with speed exercises or multiple-choice quizzes. Other collaborative applications are available, such as Notes, software pre-integrated into your interactive whiteboard, presented as a whiteboard with a range of tools to meet various needs.
5. BYOD Wireless Solutions
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solutions save time at the start of classes by allowing students to share content from their PCs directly onto the interactive screen. These solutions also allow students to connect their own devices (tablets, laptops, smartphones) to the classroom system, facilitating access to learning resources and collaboration. Among these solutions, you can try ByTello Share, the simplified mirroring application. Simply enter the screen code on your PC, and your content will be shared in less than a second, without any additional connections. Other solutions are also available in our shop, such as the Coin Coin box for sharing content via HDMI or USB, and the HDMI replication kit for large-scale displays, perfect for conferences.
The education packs are available in the shop.
From primary school to university, we offer a variety of education packages designed to meet the specific needs of classrooms of different sizes.
- It is perfectly possible to choose your package according to the size of the room. Thus, depending on the dimensions of the classroom and the number of students, the Infrared interactive screen will be more or less large: either a 65-inch screen for 25 students, a 75-inch screen for 30 to 35 students or an 86-inch screen for more than 40 students.
- If you prefer a solution with wheels , you can get a package including an Infrared interactive screen and a mobile stand allowing you to move your screen from room to room.
- We also offer packages for different uses : if you work in a hybrid format or organize remote courses, you can choose the package including an interactive screen, a wall mount, a video conferencing camera, and a wireless microphone. Alternatively, if you want to enhance your lessons by projecting photocopies or book copies, the educational digital lab package is available, this time with a document camera.
- It's important to remember that all Speechi interactive displays are powered by Android and are compatible with all Google apps and video conferencing software, for those who want to hold remote meetings. However, we offer packages that include either an interactive display with an Android Box or an interactive display and a Windows OPS module that slides into the side of the screen, allowing you to work simultaneously in both environments.
In short, at Speechi, we aim to support schools in their digital transformation by offering interactive solutions tailored to your needs and classrooms. Whether you're interested in interactive displays, video conferencing cameras, document cameras, or BYOD solutions, you'll find them in our online store . Also, explore our educational packages designed for primary schools, middle schools, high schools, and universities, which combine cutting-edge equipment for an enriched and interactive learning experience.
