BrightLink interactive displays are enhancing educational practices and providing support to teachers and students at the Downington Area School District located in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Providing software flexibility, the displays seamlessly work with common software applications, including Office 365 and Google Workspace, eliminating the need to purchase additional software titles that often include recurring subscription fees. Featuring a built-in split screen feature, they also support simultaneous displays from both teacher and student devices, while delivering an extra-large, bright image that ensures all can interact with and see content clearly, according to a press release.

"Our K-12 school district needed a solution that would allow teachers to expand their lesson plans with more student interaction while also keeping up with the rapid technological advancements children are already experiencing at home," Bruce Lord, media and educational technology supervisor, Downingtown Area School District, said in the release.

The technology deployment is part of the district's one-to-one student device initiative.

The BrightLink showed the most promise for academic success throughout multiple grade levels and different learning styles.

"Using the BrightLink, teachers across the district were able to implement new educational practices and software that seamlessly integrated with both teacher and student devices," Lord said in the release.

The BrightLink 1485Fi Interactive Display features a nearly maintenance-free 20,000-hour laser light source, removing the need for lamp purchases and replacements. Plus, with automatic image adjustment, simplified calibration and a single-cable, HDBaseT control pad, installation has was easy and enabled the district to focus their time on other priorities while seamlessly installing the displays across campuses, without the concern of cost or setup time.
