5 Tips to pick the right interactive flat panel display for your Institution

When it comes to interactive flat panel displays for digital classrooms, there are a lot of factors to consider. But don't worry, we're here to help! In this post, we'll outline the key considerations you need to make when choosing an interactive flat panel display for your classroom. So read on and find the perfect fit for your needs!

The first, and arguably most important, consideration is the size of the panel. Interactive flat panels come in a range of sizes, from small (55" or less) to large (86" or more). The size you choose will depend on the size of your classroom and the number of students you have. If you have a small classroom, you may want to choose a smaller panel. But if you have a large classroom, you may want to choose a larger panel. The second consideration is the resolution of the panel. Resolution is important because it determines how clear and sharp the images on the screen will be. A higher resolution means better image quality. The third consideration is the connectivity of the panel. Most panels have multiple ports that allow you to connect them to computers, projectors, and other devices. But some panels have more ports than others. If you plan on connecting multiple devices to your panel, make sure it has the right number of ports. The fourth consideration is the price. Interactive flat panels can range in price from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. The price you pay will depend on the size, resolution, and connectivity of the panel. There are a few other considerations to keep in mind when choosing an interactive flat panel display for your classroom. But these are the four most important ones. So keep them in mind as you shop around and compare different models.

Apart from the above the most important to look for is the software that is offered along with the Interactive Flat Panel Display. The type of software will determine how interactive the Display is and what all tasks can be performed using it.

1. The software should be able to import all older versions of files and also be future-ready.
2. The software should also offer a wide variety of features like drawing tools, graph tools, table tools, browser, artificial intelligence pens, and immersive reader.
3. It should also have an inbuilt media player for watching videos and a whiteboard for giving presentations.
4. The best software will be the one that is constantly being updated with new features and is user-friendly (Teacher-Friendly)
5. The software should allow the user to drag and drop content from any browser or any other source.
6. The content should also be easily shareable and the software should be compatible with a variety of devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets.
7. The software should allow the teacher to share the lesson materials with students in the class at once or in select groups and work simultaneously.
8. The software should allow the teacher to create their lesson content with the support of inbuilt tools and content repository.
9. The software should be able to natively integrate with Google & Microsoft Education applications.
10. The software should have the capability to work offline and in online mode, without the use of any third-party video conferencing applications.
11. The software should have an inbuilt language translator for creating multilingual content.
12. The software should have an inbuilt assessment module for conducting online tests and quizzes.

It's quite easy to lose your sight when picking the appropriate Interactive Flat panel for your schools, so make sure you consider the following factors:

• Size of the panel
• Resolution of the panel
• Connectivity of the panel
• Price

Don't forget about the software that comes with your Interactive Flat Panel Display. The variety of software will determine how interactive the Display is and what tasks it can accomplish.

Also, be sure that the OEM/Brand Owner is developing the software rather than bundling pre-existing third-party software. It's critical to provide monthly updates to users.

Most importantly the brand owner / OEM should be able to offer a community portal where the users can interact, share and download lesson content. This offers the teaching community a great opportunity to learn from each other and also save time

Check if the OEM / Brand offers professional development workshops for the users on how to use the software optimally.

The above are some of the important factors that should be considered while choosing an interactive flat panel display for your classroom.
