Stepping through the school doors and being inspired to learn is a unique experience not all children have. However, the use of digital signage can make this a reality. These displays have the power to turn your school into a hub of modern communication, inspiration and information! Digital signage has been adopted by 87% of education providers who have recognised its ability to enhance the learning experience. Read on to discover which types of digital displays are the most effective for enhancing learning.
The Benefits of Digital Signage In Schools:
Effortless Updates, Massive Savings
Digital signage allows you to easily update and refresh your learning material without the additional cost. Moving fully digital means ditching the printer, and ultimately saving paper and money on printer ink – much lighter on the environment and your pocket! Inspire students to help the environment with digital signs.
Real-Time Information
Sometimes even the best plans can change, and that’s where digital signs for schools become invaluable. They allow schools to quickly share schedule updates, event changes or other important information, ensuring everyone is well informed. Their flexibility helps to maintain smooth operations and enhances overall communication and responsiveness.
In emergencies, digital signage can provide critical, real-time alerts and instructions to students and staff, enhancing pupil and staff safety.
Enhance Learning
Take learning beyond the textbooks and give it a more engaging twist. Digital signage builds on students’ screen-based habits and makes them great vehicles for enhancing learning. For example, showcasing examples, helpful learning videos and more, enhance the learning experience by providing more clarity and helpful information. It is a great way to showcase student’s impressive work and celebrate small achievements. Additionally, displaying some inspirational quotes or calming phrases may be helpful for boosting morale and encouraging focus.
Captivate Attention
Static bulletin boards or posters have their place, but dynamic messages get noticed. With its vibrant and changing visuals, digital signage is much more likely to grab attention. Readers want to know what they will see next so will observe for a longer period consequentially, absorb the information. Digital signs also allow you to combine a range of messages into a slideshow, ensuring all your important messages are visible in one place. There are a range of display types available to suit different forms of information, from freestanding or wall-mounted, to touch-screen.
Accessibility
Digital signage is becoming more accessible and now caters to the visually impaired through a variety of features. For example, through features such as improved contrast, increased font size, customisable colour settings, haptic technology or text-to-speech. For signage with video and sound, the addition of subtitles or sign language interpreters on screen is helpful to the hearing-impaired. These additional features make digital signage in schools accessible for all students, staff and visitors.
