Features that empower educators and inspire learners
Following the installation in the summer of 2024, South Holland teachers quickly embraced the Samsung Interactive Displays to enhance student engagement and promote hands-on learning. With features like multi-touch functionality, multiple students can write, annotate and move content on the screen simultaneously, turning traditional lessons into dynamic, collaborative experiences.
The Air Class feature allows students to respond to questions by voting or posting messages directly on the display, providing a more interactive alternative to traditional hand-raising. Educators also utilize built-in tools such as the stopwatch, spotlight and screen management controls, including split-screen functionality and the ability to run multiple educational apps. These tools expand the ways educators and students engage with instructional content.
Using the broadcast feature, teachers can send videos or presentations directly to student laptops while temporarily locking other functions to minimize distractions and maintain focus. Bidirectional casting also allows teachers to move freely around the classroom and work one-on-one with students without being tethered to their desktop computers. With these capabilities, South Holland teachers have brought a new energy and enthusiasm to their classrooms, while students feel like connected, active participants in their learning journeys.
“Samsung Interactive Displays create a hands-on learning experience where students can see their ideas come to life,” said Sara Grofcsik, Head of Sales, Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “For South Holland School District educators, the displays offer a vibrant, easy-to-use tool that enhances instruction and keeps students actively engaged. Rather than asking educators to adapt their lessons to fit the technology, our goal was to provide seamless solutions that amplify what they do best — teach.”
