The integration of smart boards in classrooms has transformed traditional teaching methods, empowering both students and teachers with interactive tools that enhance the learning experience. Manteno High School recently upgraded its technology by installing ViewSonic ViewBoards in classrooms, aligning with a broader trend in education and/with digital learning environments.

According to Manteno School District’s IT department, the transition to ViewSonic ViewBoards has been smooth, with the department expressing satisfaction with their reliability and ease of use. “The ViewBoards have been an excellent addition to our classrooms. Their reliability has reduced the need for troubleshooting and allowed teachers to focus more on instruction,” a department representative shared.

The shift to interactive smart boards aligns with research showing that technology-based learning tools significantly improve student engagement and collaboration. ViewSonic, one of the leading providers of this technology, highlights the versatility of its ViewBoards, which feature touchscreens, annotation tools, and real-time collaboration capabilities. These features allow teachers to create dynamic lesson plans that cater to multiple learning styles and provide instant feedback.

Julie Mead, an English teacher at Manteno High School, emphasized the positive impact these boards have had on her classroom. “The ViewBoards allow me to engage students in ways I couldn’t before. The ability to display multimedia, annotate text, and involve students directly in lessons has made my teaching more effective,” Mead explained.

As classrooms across the country adapt to new technology, schools like Manteno are at the forefront of adopting solutions that enhance both teaching and learning. Research from Lexis Advance supports this trend, showing that interactive smart boards increase student participation and improve academic outcomes. Manteno’s investment in ViewSonic technology reflects a commitment to providing students with modern, effective educational tools.

This transformation demonstrates how AV technology is revolutionizing the classroom, providing an adaptable platform for teachers and engaging experiences for students. With reliable hardware and an enthusiastic teaching staff, Manteno High School sets an example of how interactive tools can redefine education.
