AV Equipment for Schools

Contact us

Remember the days of boring lectures and scribbling notes under flickering fluorescent lights? For today's students, education is now an entirely different place featuring dynamic and interactive experiences. At the heart of this transformation lies powerful AV equipment

We work with schools to design and implement AV solutions that not only enhance learning but also empower teachers and create a modern, engaging environment for students. Studies show that adding visual aids into lessons can increase information retention by up to 80%. Interactive displays take this a step further, allowing students to actively participate, edit content, and collaborate in real-time. This generates deeper understanding, boosts engagement, and also is adaptable to diverse learning styles.

Elements such as interactive whiteboards further enhance this experience - bringing together shared brainstorming, presentations, and real-time feedback. Resulting in improved communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

AV for Teachers

AV isn't just for students. Powerful audio visual technology empowers teachers by streamlining lesson planning and delivery. 

Tools like screen casting and recording enable flipped classrooms, where students learn concepts at home and use class time for deeper exploration and activities. This allows teachers to personalise instruction and provide differentiated learning opportunities for each student.

AV Essentials

Here's what you must consider if you want to implement immersive AV into your education setting:

Sound Systems and Microphones

Crystal-clear audio is essential for presentations, announcements, and discussions. We offer a variety of sound systems to match your classroom size and needs. Wireless microphones allow students to confidently participate and move around freely.

Look at multiple microphone configurations to encourage facilitate group discussions, panel discussions, and student-led activities. 

    Video Conferencing Solutions

    Incorporating video conferencing capabilities into your AV setup enables seamless communication with remote learners. High-definition cameras and reliable connectivity ensure clear and uninterrupted video streams and create immersive virtual learning experiences.

    Consider features such as screen sharing, chat functionality, and recording options to enhance collaboration and facilitate asynchronous learning. Integrating video conferencing solutions with your existing AV infrastructure provides flexibility and expands learning opportunities beyond the physical classroom.

    Interactive Displays

    Both Interactive screens and whiteboards are great for student and teacher collaboration. Imagine being able to pull everyone around a screen, draw a new concept, tweak it, annotate and save it, easily.

    AV Top Tips

    • Consider size and resolution: Match the display size to your classroom and prioritise high resolution for clear visuals. 

    • Software makes the difference: Choose user-friendly software with annotation tools, screencasting options, and compatibility with diverse learning platforms.

    • Consider assistive listening technology: Ensure inclusivity for students with hearing impairments.

    • Set clear expectations and guidelines: Establish rules for using AV equipment and ensuring responsible behaviour.

    • Promote regular maintenance: Schedule regular cleaning and maintenance of AV equipment to ensure optimal performance.

    • Gather feedback and iterate: Encourage feedback from teachers and students to continuously improve your AV setup and learning experiences.

    Immersive learning is not just about technology.Careful planning, curriculum integration, and teacher training are key to unleashing the full potential of AV solutions and creating impactful learning experiences that go way beyond textbooks and lectures.
