Here’s how to use your education fund for digital classroom transformation.

This past year has sped up technology decisions, including how best to meet the needs of hybrid classrooms. BenQ is the leader in education display and collaboration solutions that support the future of learning.

Among BenQ’s broad education portfolio is the Google Jamboard. As Google for Education use proliferates, the Google Jamboard is one of the most powerful tools an instructor can have to engage students and promote learning in any educational environment, whether it’s in-person, remote, or hybrid. Google Jamboard complements the Google classroom, giving schools the freedom to apply and dedicate themselves to rising standards and build content for any subject or topic that fits naturally within their Google ecosystem.

Along with award-winning Google Workspace, our full suite of accessories, the Google Jamboard will allow you to:

  • Connect directly with your students whether they’re in the classroom or at home.

  • Host lessons using G-suite tools and Google Meet. Create engaging and dynamic lessons with extensive G-suite tools and resources.

  • Share documents directly from your panel with OneDrive or Google Drive. Utilize flipcharts, whiteboards, videos, and a host of easy-to-access apps.

  • Screen share with students learning remotely in a secure environment.

See Why Other Schools Are Leveraging Google Jamboard

“Next year and every year after that, the Jamboard is still going to be a new toy — without any additional investment.”

—Greg Herker, director of business development at PHabLAB.

“When you already know Google, the Jamboard makes it very easy to step into a remote learning model.” 

—Lauren Davis, regional director for GCI.

“I like Google. In fact, I teach about Google network, how the search engine works, and Google’s PageRank algorithm. I didn’t have to think about [Google Jamboard’s] features. I already use them.”

— Indika Rajapakse, Ph.D., associate professor of computational medicine and bioinformatics, mathematics, and biomedical engineering
