E d Te c h S h o w D a i l y F r i d a y, J a n u a r y 1 5 , 2 0 1 6 4 INFORM, INSTRUCT, INSPIRE WITH LEARN ONDEMAND POSTER MAKER An interview with Randy Hobart, President, Presentation Systems South, Inc. ESD: Presentation Systems South sells the Learn OnDemand poster maker sys- tem. How does the system inform, instruct and inspire students across America and beyond? RH: Awesome begins with us! Our poster maker system is the only product of its kind on the market to be awarded a provisional patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The simple one- step system allows the user to simply click the print button and print a full color poster in less than two minutes. ESD: How does that inform, instruct and inspire? RH: Let's explore each of those areas. Informing students, faculty and parents is one key to the success of a school. Any event, special programs, classroom rules, clubs, sporting events, holidays, teacher workdays, menus, visitor policies and much more can all be publicized on a poster for getting attention and commu- nicating. The templates in the Learn OnDemand poster maker are perfect for the task. Instructing your students with high quality, full color poster templates corre- lating to standards for the subject being taught is easy to do. The 1,200 templates range in subject matter from reading, writing, math, STEM, science, character education and many more subjects. Multiply your student's level of under- standing of the material being taught. You can also scan in your own lessons or create them on your own. This system will allow you to reinforce your message, clarify your points and create excitement in the classroom. Inspiring student has always been a challenge. With the poster maker, you can easily recognize student achievement, whether it is academic success, athletic success or reinforcing character traits. Imagine a large poster with a picture of the student chosen as student of the week, with a little biography of that stu- dent. What a boost to the student's morale. Stay in school, graduate and suc- cess are all topics in the motivational poster templates. These are all ways the Learn OnDemand poster maker can help educa- tors to inform, instruct and inspire.

LEVERAGE EXISTING TECH INVESTMENTS WITH NUREVA SPAN CLASSROOM COLLABORATION SYSTEM It's no longer enough for educational technology products to be innovative and effective by themselves. Even the best won't gain traction if they don't work with what teachers are already using. That's why the Nureva Span class- room collaboration system takes full advantage of the products already in classrooms to create a collaboration experience like no other. Students use apps on their personal devices to capture their thoughts and share them on a virtu- al canvas. Then they get up and actively collaborate on a huge interactive surface. After the collaboration session is done, the work can be continued on any tablet, computer or interactive display. By combining cloud-based services, intuitive apps and brilliant interactive projectors, the Span system helps educa- tors create the ideal conditions for effec- tive collaboration. Brilliant Panoramic Projectors Panoramic projectors incorporate solid- state illumination (SSI), meaning schools never need to change a bulb. Touch mod- ules enable up to 20 students to interact at the display at the same time. Schools can choose between 10- or 20-foot (3.1 or 6.1 m) panoramic displays, depending on what their space needs. Versatile Digital Artifacts Multiple types of digital artifacts can be created on personal devices or at the interactive display. Students can use notes to express themselves with words, sketches to draw what they understand and images to offer visual input. Shared Canvas Using the panoramic canvas, students can pan horizontally over 40 feet (12.2 m) of virtual space. On the large interac- tive display, all students can see each other's contributions and then work together to move, edit, duplicate and group these artifacts as needed. Cloud-Based Solution Canvases are stored in the cloud, so students and teachers can access them anywhere and at any time. All changes that are made to the canvas are seen in real-time, enabling students to follow along on their devices in the classroom or from another location. Because they have a subscription, schools know their software always has the latest features. Access from Multiple Devices and Displays A variety of apps are available for stu- dents and teachers to access the service, including tablets, laptops, Chromebooks and large-format displays, such as inter- active whiteboards, inter- active flat-panel displays and interactive projectors. Schools can leverage their existing technology invest- ments with a solution that complements them. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Model Students and teachers log into the system from a variety of devices using their email addresses, alleviating the headache of keeping track of unique user names. The Span system also includes access to an administrative area for easy subscrip- tion management. Getting the right technology products into the hands of teachers is an ongoing effort. By selecting solutions that work well with the educational technology cur- rently in schools, like the Span classroom collaboration system, educators can make the most of their technology budg- ets and set students up for success for years to come.
