First installment is for 150 Procolor
interactive flat panel displays; once completed district will
install 500 panels in various sizes
Boxlight Corporation (Nasdaq: BOXL), a leading provider of
interactive technology solutions for the global education market,
today announced that South Carolina’s Anderson School District One
plans to partner with Boxlight in outfitting hundreds of classrooms
with the latest interactive education technologies. Howard
Technology Solutions, a highly regarded reseller, will spearhead
the installations.
The initial order is for 150 Procolor interactive flat panel
displays. When Anderson School District One completes its
installation, the district will have 500 new Procolor panels in
various sizes that all include the award-winning MimioStudio
software. The display panels’ Touch 360° interactivity features up
to 20 single-touch points or 10 dual-touch for gestures — users can
work simultaneously, driving collaborative learning.
The decision by the district to replace existing interactive
technologies with Boxlight’s interactive solutions followed a
formal evaluation; where a number of other vendors were evaluated.
The selection committee based their decisions on Boxlight’s ability
to migrate their existing Smart Notebook lesson plans, eliminating
costly annual software license fees, as well as its ability to
foster next generation teaching and learning spaces that support
engaging whole-class and small-group instruction designed to drive
improved student academic outcomes.
“The district will be adding two new middle schools and adding
new wings to many other schools – so standardizing on our Boxlight
panels will support their initiative to transform all of their
classrooms into powerful, technology-rich learning environments,”
said Chief Executive Officer of Boxlight, Mark Elliott. “Our
technology will give the students the HD experience they are so
accustomed to outside of the classroom and bring it into their
learning environments where increased critical thinking,
creativity, communication, and collaboration can happen.”
