As schools across New Zealand adapt to evolving teaching methods and digital expectations, the classroom has transformed into a space where students no longer just consume information — they engage with it. One of the most effective tools supporting this shift is the use of interactive displays.
These high-performance digital screens are designed to encourage participation, collaboration, and dynamic instruction. They are not simply replacements for whiteboards, but platforms that open new possibilities for student engagement and modern teaching.
Interactive displays are large, touch-enabled digital screens that allow teachers and students to write, draw, annotate, and interact with digital content directly on the screen. Unlike traditional projectors or static displays, they offer:
These features make interactive displays ideal for classrooms aiming to adopt more student-centred and collaborative approaches.
Implementing interactive display technology in education settings offers a range of advantages:
By allowing learners to physically interact with content — whether by solving maths problems on-screen or participating in quizzes — interactive displays help turn passive learning into active exploration. This hands-on engagement leads to better attention and retention.
Interactive displays naturally support group work and team-based activities. With multi-user functionality, several students can work on a problem or presentation simultaneously, supporting the development of collaboration and communication skills.

Interactive displays cater to visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learners. With access to multimedia content, teachers can integrate videos, images, and animations to support different learning needs. Real-time annotations and interactive exercises also help reinforce key concepts.
While technology alone doesn't improve learning outcomes, thoughtful implementation can. ActiveVision NZ works with schools to ensure that display technology is aligned with curriculum goals and infrastructure needs.

These examples illustrate how displays are adaptable across levels and subjects.
The most successful use of interactive displays happens when technology supports pedagogy. It’s not about replacing teachers — it’s about giving them tools that help deliver content more clearly, involve students more deeply, and adapt lessons more easily.
ActiveVision NZ’s interactive learning solutions are designed with this philosophy in mind, bridging the gap between technical functionality and classroom practicality.
As teaching methods continue to evolve, interactive displays offer a powerful, flexible platform to support future-ready education. They create opportunities for engagement, improve collaboration, and help students better connect with the material.
By investing in the right technology and integrating it purposefully into the classroom, schools can enhance learning in meaningful and measurable ways. ActiveVision NZ is here to support that journey — offering trusted advice, professional installation, and tailored education AV solutions that bring modern classrooms to life.
