BenQ Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs) are a "game changer" for classrooms because they enhance engagement, collaboration, and efficiency in teaching. Here’s why:

1. Touchscreen & Interactive Capabilities

• Supports multi-touch gestures, allowing multiple students to write, draw, or interact with the screen at the same time.
• Digital whiteboarding with built-in annotation tools enhances lesson delivery.
• Boosts student engagement!

2. Built-in Educational Software

• Comes with EZWrite, which allows teachers to create interactive lessons with handwriting recognition, sticky notes, and multimedia integration.
• Cloud-based whiteboarding enables students to collaborate in real time, even remotely.

3. Eye-Care Technology

4. Wireless Connectivity & Device Integration

6. Enhanced Classroom Collaboration

EZ Write 6 - interactive whiteboard software

Teachers have the ability to create something in EZ Write while on the desktop or iPad, save to Google Drive. Then open EZ Write on the BenQ board and open the file by opening AMS/Google Drive.

Use cases:

• It is easier for some people to create on the laptop rather than standing at the board.
• Teachers might want to build activities using manipulatives and share their EZ Write file with other teachers.
• It's a way to organize YouTube videos and elements together.
• Create other activities for engagements.

4 ways to access EZ Write 6:

• Open it on the BenQ board
• Install EZ Write 6 from the App Depot (while on the network)
• Install from Self Service on the iPad
