Interactive Slate

Interactive Slates help to interact with digital lessons no matter where the person is in the classroom. The Interactive Slate enables controlling applications, adding notes and highlighting information whether one is at the front of the room, back of the class or by a student's side.

Interactive slates offer all the functionality of interactive whiteboards, but they are also portable. Instead of the teacher having students work at the whiteboard, students can work on the small interactive slate from their desks. As with the interactive whiteboard, students can perform text and image manipulations with an interactive slate. But the slate does not display the images that are being projected to the whiteboard.

Classroom Benefits of Interactive Slates​​​ 

• The interactive slate is a perfect instrument for the constructivist educator since it is a device that favours the critical thought of the students. The creative use of the slate is only limited by the imagination of the teacher and the students.
• The interactive slate is a resource that wakes up the interest of the teacher to use new pedagogical strategies and to use the ICT more intensely.
• Allows the teacher a greater interactivity with the students and helps them in observing his/ her students and taking care of his questions since he/ she is not watching the screen of the computer.
• The slate offers the possibility of recording and reusability for the class, thereby facilitating revision.
• The materials and content that can be created by incorporating Interactive Slates in the classroom can be adapted and reused every year.
• Facilitates and brings out the creativity of the child since it leads to a greater interaction between the child and the teacher and allows debate with peers.
• The digital slate use facilitates understanding, especially in the case of complex concepts. The explanations to such concepts can be covered through videos, simulations and images with which it is possible to interact while using the Interactive Slate.
