Using EdTech To Unlock Creativity In The Classroom

This article is sponsored.

In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, technology is more than a supplementary tool; it’s a transformative force redefining how learning happens.

At Optoma, a world-leading visual technology and software provider, we offer schools a comprehensive suite of digital solutions that promote classroom collaboration, engagement and learning outcomes. From interactive LCD and LED displays to projectors and easy-to-use management software, Optoma’s solutions empower teachers to unlock creativity and transform the teaching and learning experience.

Bridging the gap between technology and teaching

Despite the proliferation of EdTech, many teachers still face challenges in integrating technology effectively. Optoma acts as educators’ trusted partner to address these struggles, providing reliable and flexible digital solutions that enable teachers to create, engage and teach the way they want to.  

A recent report found that approximately half of UK teachers feel increased stress due to challenges incorporating digital tools. This underscores the need for EdTech that is not only powerful but also intuitive and accessible. To ensure that its solutions can effectively and tangibly enhance teaching, we listen to and collaborate with teachers, ensuring our digital solutions address pressure points without additional stress.

For some, the challenge lies in the steep learning curve of new tools. Optoma’s holistic customer care enables schools to access the professional development and support that are key to the successful integration of technology. It also works hand-in-hand to equip teachers with the confidence, knowledge and skills to make the most of any new digital solution.

By working with schools to provide bespoke training, ongoing support and access to learning resources, Optoma helps teachers feel equipped to use technology, improving uptake and effective use of its solutions, while maximising the positive impact on students and teachers alike.  

Helping educators teach in their own way

Optoma’s mission is to give teachers and students the power to learn, create and teach their way, ensuring technology enhances, rather than distracts, from the teaching and learning experience. That is why our solutions are designed to respond to teachers’ needs and behaviours while opening doors to innovative approaches. The displays are completely intuitive, responding to touch, gesture and stylus input, mirroring interactions with traditional whiteboards.

Beyond the interface’s natural functionality and familiarity, the Optoma Solution Suite (OSS) makes lessons immersive and memorable through dynamic features like multimedia, live annotation and collaborative tools.

Teachers can easily bring subjects to life with videos, interactive quizzes and web resources, as well as being optimised for Google Classroom – all easily accessible and integrated within the OSS. The OSS’s File Manager also helps reduce teacher workload by allowing resources to be easily created, shared and reused no matter teachers’ preferred file storage.

Engaging every learner

Optoma’s solutions provide the flexibility, accessibility and innovation to fully customise the learning experience, driving engagement for all and adapting to specific needs. This enables all students to become active participants.   

The OSS enables teachers to provide dynamic and visually stimulating content, annotate diagrams live, manipulate 3D models and demonstrate complex concepts in real time. Lessons can also be tailored with content to suit visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learners with features like text-to-speech and adjustable font sizes, making lessons inclusive for English language learners and students with special educational needs.

To also accommodate hybrid learning, when needed, Optoma’s interactive displays foster collaboration beyond the classroom. The interactive displays facilitate screen-sharing from multiple devices and enable teachers to live stream content, acting as a central touch-point through which all learners can connect and create together. Content, including annotations, can be saved and recorded, supporting differentiated instruction and allowing students to revisit lessons or explore additional resources at their own pace.
