How Clevertouch® Displays Are Transforming South African Classrooms
The Chalkboard Has Had Its Moment
Picture this: it’s just after break, learners filter back into a typical South African classroom, blazers half on, whispers flying, the hum of conversation still lingering.
The desks are familiar. The chatter is expected.
But something has changed.
Where a chalkboard or old whiteboard once stood, there’s now a vibrant Clevertouch® interactive display.
The teacher taps the screen, and the classroom lights up, literally and figuratively. A YouTube clip plays, a quiz appears, and suddenly the lesson is a shared experience.
This isn’t the future. It’s already happening, and it’s redefining the way South African learners connect with knowledge.
Why Interactive Tech Belongs in Every Classroom
Learners today aren’t just growing up with tech, they expect it. From smartphones to tablets, interactivity is second nature.
To hold their attention and support deeper understanding, today’s classrooms need to be just as responsive. That’s where interactive displays come in.
With Clevertouch®, teachers can:
- Show videos, diagrams, and notes, all in one place
- Annotate in real-time to highlight key concepts
- Invite learners to touch, drag, write, and engage
- Adapt lessons on the fly based on real-time feedback
It’s not about replacing the teacher, it’s about powering them with tools that match their learners’ world.
