Interactive Display for Classrooms: How to Choose the Right One for Your School

An Interactive Display can transform the modern classroom into a more engaging, collaborative, and connected learning environment. But with so many options available, how do schools choose the right one?

The best interactive display for education should make teaching easier while supporting collaboration, digital learning, hybrid classrooms, and the growing role of AI in education.

When choosing an interactive display for teaching, look beyond screen size and resolution. The right solution should support the complete classroom experience.

Teachers should be able to write, annotate, present, and interact naturally with lesson content. Digital whiteboarding and collaboration tools can also help students participate more actively.

BenQ Boards combine interactive display technology with tools designed for digital teaching and collaboration, helping teachers deliver lessons in ways that fit their teaching style.

Teachers and students increasingly use laptops, tablets and other devices during lessons. Wireless screen sharing makes it easier to bring content from different devices onto the classroom display and encourage collaboration.

Teachers should be able to access lesson materials and digital resources without constantly transferring files between devices. Cloud-connected classroom tools can make lesson preparation and collaboration more seamless.

AI is becoming an important consideration when choosing an interactive display. Built-in AI tools can help teachers find information, support learning activities, and create content without requiring them to switch to another device.

For digital classrooms, an interactive display should work as more than a large touchscreen. It should bring together teaching, collaboration, connectivity, and digital resources in one classroom environment.

Consider whether the display offers:

• Interactive whiteboarding and annotation
• Wireless screen sharing
• Cloud connectivity
• Access to educational applications
• AI-powered teaching tools
• Strong built-in audio
• Easy classroom management
• Secure user and device management

The BenQ Education portfolio brings together Interactive Displays, classroom software, and education solutions designed to support connected digital learning environments.

A good interactive display can also support hybrid classrooms, where some students are physically present while others join remotely.

When choosing an interactive whiteboard for remote learning, schools should consider video conferencing integration, wireless screen sharing, clear audio, and cameras designed for classroom environments.

An interactive display for hybrid classrooms should make it easy for teachers to present, annotate, share content, and communicate with remote learners without disrupting the flow of the lesson.

For schools exploring technology for hybrid and digital learning, the BenQ Education solutions provide a range of tools designed around modern classroom needs.

Audio is another important consideration. Built-in speakers can make presentations, videos, and remote lessons easier to hear without requiring separate classroom speakers.

The BenQ Board Pro RP05 features a 70W sound system, combining powerful integrated audio with its interactive display capabilities.

Cloud connectivity is equally important, allowing teachers to work with digital lesson materials and classroom resources from connected accounts and devices.

For schools looking for a future-ready Interactive Display, the BenQ Board Pro RP05 combines interactive teaching, AI, connectivity and classroom-focused features.

Key RP05 features include:

• 10 TOPS NPU dedicated to AI workloads
• Built-in AI tools
• Android 15 with Google EDLA certification
• EZWrite for interactive whiteboarding
• InstaShare 2 for wireless collaboration
• 70W sound system
• Eyesafe 3.0
• Centralized device and account management

The RP05's dedicated NPU supports AI workloads, while its built-in AI features are designed to assist teachers directly from the display.

The BenQ Board Pro RP05 brings AI directly into the classroom with tools designed around common teaching activities:

• Ask AI helps teachers and students get answers directly from the display.
• Lasso Search allows users to circle visual content and search for related information.
• EZMath provides AI-powered assistance for mathematical learning.
• Circle to Artify helps transform ideas and sketches into creative visuals.

These built-in AI tools are designed to make AI part of the interactive classroom experience rather than a separate tool teachers need to access elsewhere. BenQ currently lists all four as built-in AI features of the RP05.

The best smart board or interactive whiteboard for school classrooms should ultimately make teaching simpler, more collaborative, and more engaging.

Before choosing an interactive display, ask:

• Is it easy for teachers to use?
• Does it support interactive whiteboarding and annotation?
• Can students share and collaborate from their devices?
• Does it support hybrid and remote learning?
• Does it offer cloud connectivity?
• Does it have built-in AI capabilities?
• Are the speakers powerful enough for the classroom?
• Can IT teams manage multiple displays centrally?
• Does it provide appropriate security and classroom-care features?

The right interactive display should not simply replace a traditional whiteboard. It should become a central hub for teaching, collaboration, communication, and digital learning.
