New Installation Part of District’s Growing
Technology Initiative
California’s Huntington Beach City School District (HBCSD) will
be adding 60 MimioSpace collaborative systems from Boxlight
Corporation (Nasdaq: BOXL) (“Boxlight”) to its classrooms in order
to support its expanding technology initiative. The district
partnered with Boxlight and premiere reseller partner OnPoint to
bring collaborative technology to classrooms in nine schools
throughout the district.
The addition of MimioSpace and other Boxlight products,
including Boxlight Labdiscs and ProColor touch tables, is the
result of a $150 million bond approved to encourage more
collaborative and forward-thinking classrooms in HBCSD. HBCSD’s
expanding technology initiative aims to transform the learning
process for students, favoring a more collaborative and engaging
environment. With the flexibility offered by the addition of
Boxlight technologies to the district’s classrooms, students are
able to explore new ideas with instant feedback.
“The addition of these tools to our classrooms signals a
dramatic change in how we engage our students and how we utilize
technology,” said Gregory Haulk, superintendent of HBCSD. “Our
partnership with OnPoint and Boxlight was built on listening and
being very receptive to what teachers and students wanted and
needed for improved academic experiences.”
The MimioSpace collaborative system consists of a laser
projector, touch board, and Mini-PC. The system creates an
expansive 32-touch area with Touch 360° interactivity, making
collaborative learning at the front of the classroom a reality.
Students work together in an area almost 11 ft. wide and over 4 ft.
tall, making it possible for teachers to share web pages, videos,
lessons and more simultaneously. Because it doubles as a dry erase
surface, the ultra-wide touch board is able to completely replace a
traditional whiteboard.
Additionally, the MimioSpace system comes equipped with the
dynamic MimioStudio software and MimioMobile app for three devices,
which offer countless resources for educators to engage students,
as well as the capability to connect with personal devices
throughout the classroom. Together, the MimioSpace collaborative
system, MimioStudio software, and MimioMobile app enable
full-classroom collaboration and assessment using almost any
device.
Haulk praised the quality of product support that HBCSD has
received from both Boxlight and reseller OnPoint, in the process of
choosing the best technology products for the district. “It’s nice
when you can test out an app or a piece of technology—and turn your
students and teachers loose on it—before making a purchase
decision,” said Haulk. “We pick our partners carefully, and we make
sure those partners have product development, product support, and
user-friendly interfaces – we have that with Boxlight and
OnPoint.”
“We are happy when our products are able to transform the entire
learning environment for students,” said Mark Elliott, CEO of
Boxlight. “Thanks to premier partner OnPoint, Huntington Beach has
found the perfect combination of Boxlight solutions to change the
learning process in their schools and help their students
collaborate and succeed.”
