Phase I installment of 70 ProColor interactive
flat panel displays completed; district projects an additional 150
panels by 2023 to include a new High School
Boxlight Corporation (Nasdaq: BOXL), a leading provider of
interactive technology solutions for the global education market,
today announced that Nederland, Texas Independent School District
selected Boxlight to outfit hundreds of classrooms with the latest
interactive education technologies. Visual Techniques, Inc., a
highly regarded reseller, will manage the installations.
The initial order for 70 ProColor interactive flat panel
displays on height adjustable stands providing flexible learning
for all instructional needs and the award-winning MimioStudio
educational software has been installed in four Elementary Schools
and two Middle Schools. When Nederland ISD completes its
installation, the district will have close to 230 new 75” ProColor
panels installed district-wide that all include 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.
To fund the transformation, the district is using a $151 million
bond passed in May 2019 and the support of its board and community
to fuel Nederland’s technology initiative. In selecting the right
technology partner and products, Laird chose to work with Visual
Techniques and Boxlight. The multi-year project and implementation
timeline has been executed on schedule and met with the approval of
key stakeholders. “We pick our education partners carefully, and we
make sure those partners have product development, product support,
and user-friendly interfaces,” said Cynthia Laird, Director of
Instructional Technology. “The fact that Boxlight’s interactive
touch panels are 'plug-and-play' and easy to use goes a long way
toward ensuring teacher adoption and student usage.”
Following a careful selection process, Boxlight stood out as the
school’s preferred technology partner due to its commitment to
improving student outcomes, quality customer support, as well as
MimioStudio’s ability to adapt to the schools existing digital
resources. “The seamless integration from SMART Notebook to
MimioStudio gave our teachers a high degree of confidence. They
have spent years creating resources and to be able to transfer them
over to MimioStudio without disruption meant that our staff felt
reassured every step of the way,” said Laird.
“The district will be adding a new High School in the coming
years and Boxlight panels will support Nederland Independent School
District, serving over 5,100 students, in their mission to
transform their classrooms into 21st Century learning environments
where students are productive, engaged, creative, and ready to
succeed in post-secondary education and modern-day careers,” said
Executive Vice President of Boxlight, Pat Henry.
