teachwire.net/secondary Capable of combining both teacher and pupil wireless display capability with pupil Windows 10 or Chromebook device orchestration, Classroom Commander can connect with up to 50 pupil devices without burdening a school’s existing network. The onboard CMS software meanwhile helps to remotely manage large-scale deployments across multiple locations, saving schools time and money. screenbeam.com PowerGistics The traditional cart for charging and storing a school’s devices might set out to ‘solve’ the problem of how to keep said devices powered up and safely stowed, but they’re rarely designed with the needs of teachers and pupils in mind. The vertical towers created by PowerGistics are the only 100% pupil-managed charging solution on the market. The Towers’ small footprint helps free up valuable floor space in classrooms, while their intuitive design will see to it that pupils can take care of their devices’ charging requirements themselves. “We were looking for a product that was child-friendly, didn’t have a massive footprint and also mobile,” says Alex Handley, ICT School Administrator at St John’s CoE Primary School in Watford. “PowerGistics ticked all the boxes and gave us our custom colours, which was fantastic.” Technology is meant to aid education, not hinder it – so let’s stop wasting teachers’ precious time and space. powergistics.co.uk Andrea Communications The EDU range of headsets developed by audio specialist Andrea Communications is developed specifically for daily classroom use. The EDU-255 Series and EDU-455 Series both feature noise-cancelling microphone technology and internal windscreens to help address hygiene issues and minimize breath popping for better speech clarity. The heavy- duty boom and swivel allows for the perfect microphone placement, and the headsets carry a coveted ‘6-Dragon’ rating from Nuance – one of the highest honours in the speech recognition industry. The 40mm speakers common to all EDU Series headsets and headphones deliver crystal-clear audio and they come fitted with plush, extra-thick leatherette ear cushions that are easy to clean and replace. EDU headsets and headphones can be optionally supplied in either on-ear or over-ear variants, and are built to withstand the rigours of daily classroom use. andreacommunications.com Meet your pupils where they are The ScreenBeam 1000 EDU is a tool that can free teachers from the front of the classroom and give them more flexibility to move among and interact with pupils during lessons, thus creating a more collaborative learning environment.
