With Airtame Cloud Plus, schools can create tailored digital signage across one or many displays, choosing from a range of different applications including Google Slides, Powerpoint, YouTube, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, and more. You can check out the full list of applications available with Airtame Cloud Plus here.

Here are some examples of how you could set up digital signage in your school using Airtame Cloud Plus.

How to set up digital signage in classrooms

There are many ways that digital signage can help improve focus and engagement in the classroom.

Sharing a class schedule with students at the beginning of a school day or lesson can help improve concentration and organization for students. Using the homescreen app, teachers can share lesson plans and priorities for the day, which students can refer to at any time. This prevents unnecessary questions around what’s coming up next, and frees up the teacher to get on with lesson schedules.

Some students may also benefit from reminders in the classroom, such as key goals or themes for the week, upcoming field trips, and even school events such as sports carnivals or public speaking competitions. Using Google Slides or Powerpoint, teachers can create custom slides to remind students of upcoming events. This is also a great way to get students excited about school initiatives and encourage involvement in extracurricular activities.

How to set up digital signage in staff rooms and meeting rooms

Teachers, IT managers and administrators working within education environments are often short on time and busy juggling multiple responsibilities at once. Digital signage is a quick, easy means of sharing reminders and important information with school staff, without needing to waste time on unnecessary meetings.

Using Airtame Cloud Plus, you can feature a Trello board which lays out the key priorities for the week, month or semester. This is a great way to encourage staff to working collectively towards shared goals and tasks, such as completing training of a new edtech tool, or getting through busy periods such as parent-teacher interviews. If Trello isn’t your thing, you might consider using applications like PowerPoint or Google Slides to share reminders with staff, such as upcoming school initiatives or specific safety protocols that need to be followed.

When it comes to individual meeting rooms, it’s useful to have an overview of when a room is already booked. Using the Room Overview app, you can showcase the availability of different meeting rooms, preventing clashes and interruptions to confidential meetings, and opening up potential for spontaneous 1:1s where a room isn’t already booked.

How to set up digital signage in reception areas and hallways

You can use digital signage to welcome students and visitors onto the school premises. Showcasing the school website, school values, or images from recent school events is a great way to create a stronger sense of community. For example, you may wish to share images from a recent school play or sports carnival using Dropbox Gallery or OneDrive Gallery. If you’d prefer to share content in video format, you could share clips from recent school events that are saved down to Dropbox Gallery or OneDrive Video.

If you wish to share a variety of different content in reception areas, you can use the Looped Content feature to set up different apps to play on loop. With this feature, you can share a range of content on screen including a Google Slide reminding visitors to practice social distancing and sanitize their hands regularly, imagery saved to Microsoft OneDrive to showcase recent school events, or a school promotional video via YouTube.

School hallways can be used to set up dynamic notice boards with digital signage, capturing the attention of students and staff as they pass through. Using Google Slides, you can share specific information about school initiatives, such house point scores or upcoming debating competitions. Many schools are also transforming gymnasiums and libraries into extended classroom spaces to accommodate social distancing. The Room Overview app can also be used on screens within hallways to communicate these temporary changes.

How to set up digital signage in cafeterias and libraries

It’s easy for school cafeterias to become loud and overcrowded if the appropriate measures and reminders aren’t in place. Digital signage is a great way to remind people of the guidelines they should follow within these types of shared spaces.

During times when there’s a heightened need for safety and hygiene practices in school cafeterias, you can use Airtame Cloud Plus to customize specific safety-related signage. For example, you can save an image to Dropbox or OneDrive Gallery and use it to inform students of their allocated time and place to eat, to wash their hands thoroughly before and after eating, and to avoid sharing food.

Libraries are usually designed to be quiet spaces for students to learn and read, without being distracted or interrupted. Using PowerPoint or Google Slides, you can remind students of the rules they need to respect within the library.

There are many different ways you can approach setting up digital signage within a school environment. If you’re interested to find out how digital signage might benefit your school, reach out to us below!

Embrace a blended approach to learning

Over the last year, more and more schools have needed to consider adopting a blended approach to learning as a means of keeping students and teachers safe. Blended learning is a setup that provides students and educators with more flexibility through a mix of face-to-face classroom time, independent online lessons, and sometimes, a hybrid of the two. Airtame supports blended learning through bring-your-own-device and one-to-many screen sharing, as well as working alongside a video conference call.

For more on how Airtame supports blended learning, check out this this blog.

Avoid unnecessary contact with wireless screen sharing and remote device management

While an increasing percentage of the global population is being vaccinated against Coronavirus, many students and teachers haven’t received a vaccine. With this in mind, social distancing measures remain in place and should be prioritized in school environments.

While screen sharing can create more engaging lessons for students, passing a cable around the classroom has the potential to spread germs and make distancing more difficult.

With Airame’s wireless screen sharing, there’s no need for teachers or students to physically touch any cables or dongles when presenting to the big screen. They can simply connect from their desk, and disconnect when they’re finished presenting. This removes the need to pass a cable or dongle from person to person, reducing contact.

With Airtame Cloud, IT administrators and communications departments can remotely update and manage screens, without physically touching noticeboards. Using Scheduled Content under the Looped Content feature, you can plan digital signage in advance according to specific hours and days of the week. This way, admins can set a schedule for the week and get the correct message out at the right time with very little maintenance.

What is blended learning?

Blended learning – while not a new concept – is gaining momentum as educational institutions around the world continue to manage full or partial lockdowns, and prepare for gradual reopening.

Blended learning refers to an educational setup that involves a mix of face-to-face classroom time, independent online lessons, and a hybrid of in-person and remote learning.

According to Joana, embracing digital technology in the classroom to create a blended learning setup presents many benefits: “It enables us to put teaching and learning materials online, so we are relatively independent of space and time. This creates greater flexibility – learners can work on materials at their own pace, in their own time.”

Blended learning also empowers students to take more ownership of their education experience: “Some students become more self-reliant and self-directed, as they have access to more learning resources, such as videos and infographics online. As a result of this, the traditional role of student and teacher has changed. Teachers no longer exist to disseminate knowledge – they are actively involved in all aspects of the learning process.”

Risks of not adopting blended learning set up

According to Joana, educational institutions that fail to embrace digital technology in the classroom will negatively impact student learning: “Teachers who keep hanging onto traditional instructional pedagogy and analog media will notice that the learning culture of their students continues to drift away from what is happening in the classroom.”

Joana also notes that today’s students are more accustomed to receiving feedback on an ongoing basis: “Young people who grow up with social networks are used to continuous feedback from their peers. By contrast, traditional school settings are among the few remaining places where little or no feedback on learning processes is offered. Subsequently, schools that resist reforming their technological infrastructure and pedagogical strategies are bound to frustrate teachers, students and parents alike.”

Tips for embracing blended learning

When it comes to embracing a blended learning approach in the classroom, Joana has some useful tips.

So why do we continue to put up with cables in the classroom? Whether you’re teaching in a school or working as a lecturer at a university, there are wireless solutions out there designed to make your life easier and your lessons more engaging.

Here are five quick reasons why you should ditch cables in the classroom and opt for wireless technology.

1. Cables are unsightly and unsafe

Has anyone ever looked at a pile of intertwined, mismatched cables at the front of a classroom and felt good about it? We highly doubt it. It’s important to keep the classroom as clutter-free and tidy as possible, to encourage a sense of order and make it easier for students to focus. Cable clutter doesn’t lend itself well to a calm, productive learning environment.

Not only are cables hanging from projectors and various pieces of hardware unsightly, they’re also unsafe. Students and teachers could easily trip, or hurt themselves trying to disconnect various cables without taking adequate safety precautions.

2. Cables require complex and often costly connections

Depending on the cables being used, they can often be expensive and require replacing regularly. There’s also the added headache of figuring out which cables fit with different pieces of hardware, creating more work for teachers and IT departments.

3. Cables are inefficient

Let’s use the example of sharing a presentation in the classroom. Imagine a scenario where a class is running through their latest history assignment, with each student sharing their individual presentation from their computer onto a larger display at the front of the classroom. To present to the rest of the class, each student must make their way to the front of the classroom where the cable is located and insert the cable properly into their device. When they’re done, they must safely remove the cable and pass it onto the next student presenting. This may not sound like much, but when there are 20+ different students each presenting their assignment, there’s a lot of time spent moving up and down from seats, across the classroom, connecting and disconnecting with cords, and taking away from valuable lesson time.

Wireless alternatives not only remove the hassle of students moving around the classroom, they also allow students to present their work instantly from their own device, without needing to worry about cables.

4. Cables don’t allow freedom of movement

Cables tend to anchor the teacher to the front of the classroom, preventing them from interacting with students who may have questions or require extra 1:1 support.

This can be a problem for a few reasons. If a teacher needs to pause midway through explaining a concept to tend to a student at their desk, it can interrupt the flow of the lesson, and potentially cause some students to lose focus. On the flip side, students may feel self-conscious and be less likely to ask for assistance if they know their question will disrupt the rest of the class.

Wireless technology in the classroom can help both students and teachers. It empowers teachers to roam around the classroom and check-in with students in a more natural way, and it provides students with the opportunity to ask questions and receive tailored 1:1 support, without needing to pause a lesson midway through.

5. Cables aren’t Covid friendly

Unfortunately, Covid has followed us into 2021 and is continuing to impact the way we live, work, learn and teach. It’s essential to take extra precautions when face-to-face classes do go ahead, to reduce the risk of spreading the virus.

Consider the impact of cables being passed from student to teacher or student to student: it doesn’t allow for social distancing and has the potential to make some teachers or students feel unsafe.

With a wireless alternative, there’s no need for teachers or students to physically touch any cables or dongles when presenting to the big screen. They can simply connect from their desk, and disconnect when they’re finished presenting.

It’s time to go wireless

While there are some cables in the classroom that can’t be avoided, it is possible to significantly reduce the volume of cables by replacing outdated technology with wireless solutions. A reduction in cables will result in a tidier and safer classroom environment, and potentially help schools save money they would otherwise spend on replacing old cables and costly connections. It also has the potential to drastically improve the teaching experience for educators and the learning experience for students, allowing teachers to move freely around the classroom and provide students with the 1:1 support they need.

It’s 2021 – time to simplify things by eliminating cables from your classroom and go wireless.

One major challenge educators continue to face is facilitating engaging lessons when some students are in the classroom, some are learning from home, and some are doing a bit of both. Increasingly, teachers and lecturers are turning to a hybrid learning approach, offering a style of lesson involving online and face-to-face elements based on the needs of students.

What is hybrid learning?

2020 saw the growth of concepts like blended and hybrid learning. While these pedagogical concepts aren’t brand new, they are similar and there is some debate around what differentiates them. Based on our research, blended learning refers to a setup that gives students and educators flexibility through a combination of face-to-face classroom time, along with online coursework and lessons. Hybrid learning is largely seen as a form of blended learning, which involves finding the right mix of online learning – whether it be a module or lecture completed online within a physical class setting, or an online module or task completed remotely – and face-to-face learning that works best for teachers and students.

For example, a hybrid lesson could involve some students completing an online task within a physical classroom, some completing the task online from home, followed by a teacher going through the task with those in the physical classroom, while also streaming to those learning from home.

Why has hybrid learning become so popular?

Hybrid learning has become increasingly popular over the last year, somewhat out of necessity: schools, universities and other education facilities have been forced to close. They’ve had to adapt by facilitating remote learning with entirely online classes, or in some cases, a combination of in-person and remote learning. But beyond this, there are a number of factors that have led to its growing popularity.

How to embrace a hybrid learning set up

There are a few considerations that come into play when it comes to adopting a hybrid learning approach.

First and foremost, teachers must have access to the appropriate technology needed to engage their students, including laptops or other devices, video conferencing software and equipment, and potentially smartboards or screen sharing technology. Without access to the right tools, a hybrid classroom won’t be effective.

Secondly, schools and education facilities also need to ensure they’re investing time and resources to train teachers to use the appropriate technology within a hybrid classroom. Many teachers are comfortable teaching in-person, but unsure of how to conduct an online lesson. It’s essential that teachers are provided with the time and training resources needed to get them up to speed so that they can feel confident conducting lessons in a hybrid learning environment.

The third consideration is to have patience and understanding, both for teachers and for students. While blended and hybrid learning is becoming more and more popular, it is a shift from traditional forms of in-person learning and will take some adjustment on behalf of both students and teachers. Introducing aspects of hybrid learning gradually – such as an online video tutorial or quiz – helps people adjust at a rate at which they are comfortable.

In its simplest form, digital signage involves sharing information or content via one or more digital displays, and is often used to communicate a message with a specific audience or group of people.

There are multiple advantages of digital signage, but two of the most widely acknowledged include:

Within education, digital signage offers a unique, cost-effective means of keeping students engaged, as well as informed with relevant information. It’s increasingly being adopted by educators as a means of keeping students, teachers, as well as parents and other visitors up to date about what is happening in the school community. It also takes the pressure off IT admins and heads of staff, providing them with an easy, resource-friendly way to get important messages out, without the hassle of updating traditional newsletters and online portals.

Specific ways to use digital signage within schools

From classrooms to libraries to cafeterias, schools are made up of different areas that serve separate purposes and require varied forms of digital signage.

There are many ways Airtame’s digital signage can be used within these environments to create a stronger sense of community, as well as increase safety and awareness for students, teachers and visitors.

According to a 2020 McKinsey report, the growth of e-commerce was well underway before the pandemic hit. It’s convenient to buy online. And now it also minimizes the risk of contagion.

Even when it’s safer to go out and about, many people will continue to buy everyday necessities online.

But there are some things we won’t buy online. Certain purchases deserve a real-life look at the product. Would you buy a home you’d never been to? Or a car you’d never driven? Unlikely.

Wireless solutions offer safe interactivity

It’s not every day that we hunt for a new car or a kitchen remodel. These are luxuries, yes. But that’s not a negative thing. Demand for more expensive items can help stimulate the economy and give people something to look forward to amid glum circumstances.

All responsible businesses take steps to ensure the safety of their employees and customers. They put up plastic shields, mark set distances within a checkout queue, and provide hand sanitizer. Companies can also introduce digital signage and wireless screen sharing to add extra flair to the occasional shopping trip.

In addition to the actual cars, homes, and furniture on display, large TV screens are used to share health and safety guidelines. They also showcase product specs and customization options. This is digital signage, i.e., the images, videos, websites, and other media on display across screens.

Perhaps your heart is set on a particular model car. The test drive was great. But what about the custom interior options? The sales rep hands you a (clean) tablet. You take your mind to scroll through a variety of materials and features. The large TV wirelessly mirrors what you see on the tablet, showing off every detail. The result is a perfect, personalized combo. They should have it ready in a couple of weeks so that you see the final product again before pulling out your wallet.

All the while you get personal attention from a real-life person. Yes, they’re paid to help. But that’s fine. It’s nice to feel excited about something and have a product expert explain the choices. Especially when it’s done safely.

Thankfully, education technology, or edtech, has made the transition to remote and hybrid learning much easier for many. Not sure what edtech is? Essentially, it’s technology that helps transform traditional methods of teaching and learning, providing new ways of delivering and sharing knowledge and improving learning outcomes.

As many schools around the world prepare to reopen, there are a few edtech trends we expect to see more of this year.

Hybrid learning

Hybrid learning is a form of blended learning, which involves finding the right mix of online learning – whether it be a module or lecture completed online within a physical classroom setting, or an online module or task completed remotely – and face-to-face learning that works best for teachers and students.

Using technology such as tablets, smartphones, laptops and computers, teachers can adopt videoconferencing platforms and other online tools to conduct lessons that involve a combination of online and face-to-face activities.

One of the greatest benefits of hybrid learning is the flexibility it affords both students and teachers. It allows teachers to conduct lessons remotely if needed, and provides students with the opportunity to tend to their coursework, no matter where they are taking classes from.

A hybrid learning approach can also be a more effective use of time than traditional in-person learning. Teachers are able to share online modules or tutorials to be completed before an in-person or online class, providing students with the time needed to read through or practice certain concepts or ideas. This way, they can spend valuable class time discussing things in more detail, after they’ve already developed a baseline understanding.

Artificial Intelligence

While artificial intelligence (AI) is far from a new concept, it’s increasingly being used within education.

AI can be used to transform testing and grading processes within schools, with algorithms saving time by checking exam results and assignments far quicker than any human could. Some educational institutions have plagiarism checkers in place, or utilize AI to identify the main learning issues a student is facing. After learning issues are categorized, the teacher can focus on improving the student’s knowledge of a certain topic or concept.

Gamification

Gamification is the practice of applying game-design elements and principles to non-game contexts. It’s becoming more and more popular within education settings, as it can make lessons more fun for students and motivate them to engage with different material.

There are many aspects of games that are relevant and can be applied to classroom learning. Not only are games usually structured with set problems to solve, they also promote teamwork, communication and creative thinking.

Gamification in learning often involves taking game-based elements such as point scoring and teamwork, and having students complete a series of tasks, so that they can be rewarded with score tables or advance to new levels. This method of learning can help motivate and inspire students in the classroom.

Immersive learning through Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) provide students with unique opportunities to experience immersive learning. Aside from typical use cases of VR and AR allowing students to virtually experience field trips beyond school grounds, there are some exciting emerging uses of the technology.

With VR headsets, students can concentrate on their studies in a focused, virtual space, without distractions from the outside world. For example, companies like Microsoft have developed Immersive Reader products designed to allow students to practice their reading.

As more and more companies express a need for soft skills in future employees such as problem-solving, collaboration and teamwork, VR and AR create scenarios for students who require extra assistance to develop these skills. There are a number of VR companies facilitating situations where students can learn to work, talk and collaborate with other peers or people in a variety of different settings, helping them to work on their soft skills within a safe environment.

Robotics

Who wouldn’t want to spend time in class building a robot?

Robotics is continuing to gain momentum in the education sector, as developing and coding robots provides students with the opportunity to foster new, practical skills such as creativity, design and analysis. In a world where coding is an increasingly in-demand skill, robotics provides students with a fun introduction, by building their strategic problem-solving, computational thinking, higher-order thinking, and logical and analytical reasoning.

With this variety of edtech continuing to develop, 2021 is set to be an exciting year for education.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed in March of 2020, and aims to provide economic support for American workers, families, and small businesses. It established a budget of over $2 trillion for Americans most impacted by the pandemic.

The original CARES Act requires schools to spend their allocated funding by September 2021, which doesn’t leave much time to waste.

What the CARES Act 2 means for your school

The next round of stimulus benefits for education, referred to as the CARES Act 2, sets aside $82 billion in funding. K-12 schools will receive more than $54 billion, a significantly larger portion of funding than what was distributed as part of the initial CARES Act.

The new stimulus package will be distributed to state education agencies by the U.S. Department of Education, then passed on to local education agencies. Once your application for benefits has been submitted and approved by the USDE, your funding will be distributed.

K-12 schools will have up until September of 2022 to use their share of the $54 billion in funding. This is good news for your school, providing you with additional funding and more time to decide how to allocate it appropriately.

The CARES Act 2 presents the American education sector with an incredible opportunity to invest in technology that will help plan for the safe return of students and teachers, coordinate remote and blended learning, and improve learning experiences for students across the country. The funding can empower educators to level-up their schools and classroom environments, providing teachers with better tools to conduct more engaging lessons, and giving students the opportunity to benefit from up-to-date tech resources.

The year kicked off with the news that two plans were coming to Airtame Cloud: Lite and Plus.

Lite is a free version of the product, offering the core features needed to manage and update Airtame devices, along with light digital signage features.

Plus is a premium version that includes power-saving functionality and advanced digital signage.

April: Miracast release and COVID-19 response

Many Windows and Android enthusiasts welcomed the news of Miracast support. Instead of running or downloading an app, Miracast lets you use the screen sharing already available on your computer or mobile device.

As workers and students were sent home, we decided to give away Airtame Cloud Plus for free so that the essential workers who remained would still have access. Airtame was also able to help health care efforts by 3D printing medical visors that were in short supply and lending computing power to run medical simulations.

May: Introducing the YouTube app 

The YouTube app was a much-requested addition to the digital signage options in Airtame Cloud Plus. The app is great for remotely sharing recorded videos as well as live broadcasts across Airtame-equipped displays.

June: Delivering the Moderator tool

The team pressed on to deliver the Moderator tool, which gives teachers and other professionals control over a class, workshop, or meeting. The Moderator tool is available in both Airtame Cloud Lite and Plus. It lets you disconnect any presenter who forgets to do so themselves, helping avoid distractions and delays.

September: Touchback with Miracast 

As some schools cautiously reopened, they were able to try out Touchback support when screen sharing with Airtame. Touchback makes an interactive display an extension of your personal device; whatever you do on the display will be reflected on your Windows computer, Android smartphone, or tablet—and vice versa.

Touchback gives teachers an extra layer of flexibility. You can move around a room with your laptop or mobile device in hand while wirelessly sharing class material. At any point, you can put down your device and switch to controlling the class from the front of the room on the interactive display.

October: Airtame 1 Upgrade Program

Many loyal customers have taken advantage of the discounted pricing available with the Airtame 1 Upgrade Program. Announced in October and lasting until the end of 2020, this program lets you trade in your Airtame 1 device for a $100 discount on Airtame 2, plus six months of free access to Airtame Cloud Plus.

November: Scheduled Content and Native AirPlay

Both digital signage and screen sharing received significant updates towards the end of the year. The first update was Scheduled Content, a planning tool in Cloud Plus that lets you organize digital signage apps according to specific times of day and days of the week.

The second update was a complete revamp of AirPlay. This development has meant smoother, more stable screen sharing for anyone presenting to Airtame from their iPhone, iPad, or MacBook. It also marked a significant milestone, with Airtame now supporting the “big three” native protocols (Miracast, Google Cast, AirPlay, powered by ) as a result of our partnership with AirServer.

An optimistic outlook for 2021

Despite the challenges of this past year, Airtame is still widely used within workplaces and schools all around the world. 

More than 37,000 new Airtame devices were deployed in 2020. And more than 4,500 organizations joined Airtame Cloud.

We’re looking forward to exciting product developments in the coming year.
