Students retain more from witnessing teaching in real-time
Distractions, device scheduling and sharing conflicts… the list is endless and the odds stacked against holding student attention in a remote learning environment.
With Google Meet on your SMART Board, remote students can tune into screen sharing alongside live video of their teacher delivering the lesson.
So no matter where they are, students can watch their teachers teach, including live annotating and whiteboarding.
Keep the focus on learning and familiarity. Students can see you up at the familiar SMART Board and keep the continuity of a classroom experience remotely to better learn and retain information. Attention is captured and imagination fires.
