Billabong High International School is a one-of-a-kind educational center in the Kelambakkam region of Chennai, India. The schooling process at Billabong High includes both academic and “non-academic” learning. Each child is encouraged to develop a strong positive sense of self and grow creatively, socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically.
Challenge
Billabong High values forward-looking skills such as imagination, storytelling, making connections, collaboration, creativity and design. These are all the new focal points of their latest curriculum. The school was looking for an interactive solution which would not only be compatible with all these objectives but would also help achieve them faster and with greater ease.
Solution
Billabong High found Newline interactive displays to be the perfect solution for their school. 5 TRUTOUCH RS Series 65” displays were installed in the classrooms, no other devices necessary. Newline provided an all-in-one solution that would help Billabong High achieve all their goals.
The TRUTOUCH RS displays feature a dual system which can run both Android and Windows, a big advantage for the school. It allows teachers to seamlessly switch between a simple, intuitive platform to quickly access all their preferred apps and classroom tools, and the familiar Windows OS for all the programs and functionalities available on a regular PC. The quality of the interactive displays was another reason Billabong High confidently chose Newline.
Results
By integrating the Newline interactive displays into their school and making them a key part in the curriculum, Billabong High International School is able to make the learning process a more creative and engaging experience for students and teachers alike. Using the responsive touch technology, annotating on images, and seamlessly incorporating content from the internet into the lesson plans, teachers help young learners develop a inquisitive attitude, imagination and the ability to express themselves clearly.
“Working with the [Newline interactive displays] is an exciting, challenging and enjoyable experience for the teachers and the students.”
