In response to the global pandemic which impacted 1.6 billion students worldwide, educators around the globe were forced to quickly adopt new tools and techniques for remote instruction. After several months of dialing in the basics, such as holding classes over Zoom and using apps like Google Classroom, many schools are now looking to deploy more advanced technology to ensure a more engaging experience for students and to empower teachers.<\/p>\n
The use of video cameras with features like speaker tracking, headsets that block out distracting background noise, and speakerphones with acoustic fence technology can make a huge difference for teachers working from home or in remote classrooms. However, deciding what gear to roll-out, which features to deploy, and how to ensure network readiness can be a major challenge for administrators and IT departments to navigate.<\/p>\n
Complicating matters further, important considerations must also be made for hybrid teaching models, where students may be split between in-classroom and remote attendance. This scenario often presents more challenges than a 100% remote model, as teachers strive to accommodate the needs of in-class and remote students. Providing everyone with the same standards of learning is challenging \u2013 but it is<\/em> possible with proper planning and tools.<\/p>\n How does an organization select the best solution for their budget, ensure all the different items are compatible, and meet the needs of educators and students?<\/p>\n Poly is here to guide you to the right solution for your education institution by offering two customized workshops for education to ensure your digital and physical teaching spaces are set up for success<\/strong>.<\/p>\n At Poly, we\u2019ve worked jointly with educators to create two workshop services to empower schools and educators:<\/p>\n Consultants focus on strategies and techniques including:<\/p>\n Which includes the above workshop plus:<\/p>\n In our workshops, we also look to the future and discuss how educators can make use of these technologies beyond COVID-19 to enhance school life.
