Actiontec intros interactive classrooms with wireless display tech

TAIWAN: Actiontec Electronics announced the launch of ScreenBeam Pro Education Edition, a Miracast wireless display adapter that gives schools an affordable way to create engaging, interactive classrooms for the 21st century.

The new receiver delivers all the performance and features of Actiontec's award-winning ScreenBeam platform, along with manageability and security that schools require.

The ScreenBeam Pro Education Edition receiver is a small wireless display adapter that connects to a projector, TV, or other display and lets users wirelessly share content from a compatible laptop, smartphone, or tablet. With the ability to easily share content, educators can supplement their traditional lectures with engaging multimedia like videos, apps, educational programming, and more.

Wireless display brings a new level of interactivity to today's classrooms. Teachers are free to move around the classroom and interact with their students, while simultaneously sharing content from their tablet on the big screen, drawing the entire class into the material. This interactive learning environment increases classroom participation, enabling teachers to work more closely with students.

In addition, when students are equipped with laptops or tablets, they can even interact with the material on the big screen right from their desk. For example, a student can share her work on a math problem directly from her tablet, without having to get up and write on the whiteboard.
