22 Oct 10 Reasons Why You Need Clevertouch in Your Classroom

As Irish schools lean on digital technology to provide positive learning experiences and outcomes for students there is trend forming that we can’t avoid – the rise of Clevertouch and interactive touchscreens in classrooms. These touchscreens are powerful tools when it comes to capturing and retaining students attention and here we outline 10 reasons why you need Clevertouch in your classroom.

1. Ease of Use

No one wants to press a bunch of buttons to open an app or connect their laptop to the screen. That’s why many of our interactive displays have features that are essential on a day-to-day basis, which are accessible from the home screen or with just one touch.

2. Switch between Android and Windows Instantly

If you are a fan of apps, then the Clevertouch in Android mode is what you need. The entire software is built with many apps to help you make teaching more engaging. However, if you are more of a PC type of person, that’s not a problem; with one swipe up, you can switch to PC mode, meaning you will never have to deal with the hassle of plugging in cables or configuring other devices.

3. Screen Mirroring with any Device

You can share everyone’s work, no matter what device they use, including Chromebook, an iPad or an Android tablet; all will easily connect, which allows the person to mirror while also using the video and audio casting.

4. Taking Control

You can use your device to control the Clevertouch while you are walking around the room or sitting at your desk with an additional application that can be downloaded in minutes and connected in seconds. The Clevertouch screen will appear on your tablet screen, and anything you press will be actioned on the Clevertouch display.

5. Share your Lessons with other Staff Members

With the award-winning Snowflake multiteach, you can upload your lessons directly to the online community. Share ideas with the world community and download lessons and activities for free.

6. Never worry about the Tech Failing

With toughened glass and a negligible breakdown rate, Clevertouch is pretty much indestructible. However, things happen, and if you do have a fault, it’s not a problem, as the Clevertouch is covered by warranty. This includes if there is a problem that can’t be fixed right away; a temporary screen will be provided until it has been fixed or replaced

7. Create a Lesson from Anywhere

If you want to put your lessons all together while you’re at home or from the teacher’s staff room, well, that is possible, as having access to your Clevertouch with Snowflake or Lynx, you can create activities on your laptop and save them onto a USB when you are back in the classroom. Simply insert the USB stick into your Clevertouch display and load the lesson.

8. IT Managers have Control

In a large school, it can be time-consuming for an IT manager to update all the screens individually. As of June, CLEVERTOUCH has an MDM system, which is a mobile device management system,  meaning that every update can be done from the manager’s office, and teachers are always using the most up-to-date versions of apps and software.

9. Compatible with your old Smart Notebook Files

Don’t panic if you have dozens of carefully crafted Smart, CFF or IWB files. Our Lynx software will automatically convert them, and you’ll lose none of the features. And unlike Smart Notebook and software from other suppliers, you will never have to pay an annual licence to use the Clevertouch software – it’s free for life, and the updates are free too.

10. Every app is Handpicked by Education Experts

Where other touchscreen manufacturers might give you access to an open app store with tens of thousands of inappropriate apps, we’ve chosen a selection of just over 100 apps to populate the Cleverstore. Our apps are all free to download, and they are full versions, with no in-app purchases and no adverts. Our education experts are familiar with the UK national curriculum and the US and have used those guidelines to choose which apps make it into the Cleverstore. There’s also language filtering, so if you are teaching in French, Spanish, Irish or one of over 30 other languages, you can easily find the apps for you.
