Innovative Classroom Technology Enhances Collaboration and Engagement
In the heart of Texas, Royse City Independent School District (RCISD) faced a familiar challenge: outdated classroom technology. Aging projectors and sound systems were no longer meeting the needs of modern learning. District leaders, committed to empowering teachers and boosting student engagement, sought a future-ready solution that integrated seamlessly with their Google Workspace for Education environment.
Their vision wasn’t just about replacing equipment — it was about adopting interactive display technology that could transform instruction, collaboration, and learning outcomes.
How Royse City ISD Scaled Classroom Tech with Zero IT Overhead
Royse City ISD transformed 13 campuses by replacing outdated classroom projectors with 650+ BenQ Boards (interactive displays) in just 30 days. The result: smart classroom technology that boosts student engagement, simplifies lesson delivery, and integrates seamlessly with the Google for Education ecosystem.
Why Royse City ISD Chose BenQ Interactive Displays
RCISD identified the BenQ RM04 Interactive Display Board as the right fit for their district-wide upgrade. Unlike a one-size-fits-all solution, BenQ partnered closely with district leaders to customize a plan that aligned with their infrastructure and teaching goals.
“We wanted more than just a screen,” said Cody Holt, Executive Director of Learning Technologies at Royse City ISD. “We were in search of a partner who understood our commitment to leveraging technology in order to create dynamic and engaging learning experiences for our students. RCISD believed that we deserved a certain caliber of partnership that went beyond the technology itself — and we found that with BenQ.”
This collaborative approach, coupled with BenQ’s innovation set the foundation for long-term success.
Pilot Program Success with BenQ RM03 Interactive Displays
In 2023, RCISD launched a pilot program at the district’s Career and College Academy using BenQ RM03 Boards. The trial delivered immediate results:
Teachers praised the user-friendly interface and powerful teaching tools.
Feedback highlighted areas for professional development and customization.
Data-driven insights gave district leaders confidence in the scalability of BenQ’s solution.
The pilot’s success led to a full deployment of BenQ RM04 Boards in 650+ classrooms district-wide, revolutionizing how teachers and students interact with learning content.
