Prestigious International Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Educational Technology Products and Companies

BREA, CA (June 4, 2025) – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual and edtech solutions, announced that the company’s ClassSwift interactive teaching tool has been recognized as the “Student Engagement Solution of the Year” in the 7^th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.

ClassSwift allows teachers to create dynamic, real-time activities using various formats of materials. With features like AI-powered quiz generation, instant feedback, and language translations for personalized student learning, this educational program enables teachers to create interactive content and receive immediate responses from students.

The software provides instant feedback on student responses, enabling teachers to assess comprehension and quickly adjust their teaching strategies. ClassSwift also includes robust language translation functionality, making the platform accessible to a diverse student population.

“Teachers across the district additionally enjoyed the ability to bring remote and in-person students together for small group instruction, by turning their ViewSonic VG2456 docking monitor and camera to face several in-classroom students.”

— Ben Pearson, ViewSonic Southeast RBM for Education

To verify its viability the district IT team ran the ViewSonic VG2456 docking monitor through their test bed to ensure that it performed to their standards, said Pearson. It passed with flying colors, and the district committed to purchasing a ViewSonic^® VG2456 docking monitor for each of their 13,000 classrooms. Compared to the original monitor/docking station plan, the project saved the district around $250,000.

As anticipated, the solution provided outstanding instructional flexibility for concurrent learning among in person and remote students. Facing the in-classroom students, teachers wirelessly cast content to the classroom projector from their laptops, and could now use their folded laptops in tablet mode to input and interact with the content. The ViewSonic VG2456 docking monitor sat to the side, displaying the gallery of remote students, who received the live content on their school-issued laptops. Teachers used their document camera connected to the integrated ports on the ViewSonic VG2456 docking monitor to directly address remote learners.

Teachers across the district additionally enjoyed the ability to bring remote and in-person students together for small group instruction, by turning their ViewSonic VG2456 docking monitor and camera to face several in-classroom students. Depending on the learning requirements, teachers could use the monitor as the primary content screen, with remote learners displayed on the laptop, or toggle the gallery of remote learners onto the ViewSonic monitor to encourage conversation between digital and in-person learners.

With classrooms once again filled with students, the new technology continues to facilitate small group and active learning, which are key components of the district’s updated curriculum plan.

“The advanced ergonomics of the ViewSonic VG2456 docking monitor make it easily adaptable for small group work,” said Pearson. “With its smooth pivot, swivel, tilt, and height adjustment capabilities, this monitor easily provides a wide range of customizable adjustments for maximum flexibility and comfort.”

Furthermore, he added, the SuperClear^® IPS panel technology ensures that viewers seated to the side of the display will experience the same image quality as those directly facing it.

“This setup has been ideal for the district, which is working towards more modular classrooms to support active and small group learning,” said Pearson. “In fact, ViewSonic has been working with them on developing a model classroom for just this purpose, with varied seating and technology to support small group work.”

In the meantime, the ViewSonic VG2456 docking monitor continues to perform an important role across the district, serving as a small group solution in the traditionally-configured classrooms. To provide an additional small-group station, the district is working with ViewSonic to develop a three-tier rolling cart topped with a ViewSonic 32-inch TD3207 touch display.

“Space is very limited in their classrooms, and anything they add needs to be multipurpose, just like the docking monitor,” said Pearson. “The cart-mounted interactive display will allow teachers to store supplies while providing an interactive learning station for students.”

“Flexibility was another key factor in choosing ViewSonic. The digital learning ecosystem seamlessly supports both in-class and remote learning, while cart-mounted interactive displays add mobility and convenience. Together, these solutions provide end-to-end adaptability as the school advances its integrated approach to holistic learning.”

— Deidre Deacon, General Manager and Channel Chief of ViewSonic Canada

scalable, and interoperable foundation for modern education. This integrated system offers a suite of tools and software meticulously designed to foster student engagement across traditional classrooms, as well as distance and remote learning environments. The intuitive platform empowers both teachers and students to interact seamlessly, share ideas effectively, and communicate clearly, consistently leading to high-quality learning outcomes. Teachers can effortlessly integrate their existing resources by importing SMART Notebook files, while ViewSonic’s vCast feature enables dynamic presentations through screen extension and simultaneous content broadcasting.

In selecting ViewSonic’s digital learning ecosystem, the school board demonstrated a forward-thinking approach, carefully evaluating best practices in educational technology from leading districts. Their decision underscored a commitment to placing technology at the forefront of their educational vision. Furthermore, the board prioritized seamless integration with their existing student information software and learning management systems, recognizing the importance of a connected educational experience. This strategic alignment allows schools to actively involve parents who wish to take a more engaged role in their children’s learning journey, fostering a collaborative and supportive educational environment.

Deidre Deacon, General Manager and Channel Chief of ViewSonic Canada, commented on the school board’s decision: “Selecting best-in-class technology and a future-ready solution was a top priority for this private school board when choosing ViewSonic’s ViewBoard digital learning platform for all its schools. With the new system in place, teachers are seeing a transformational impact—greater student engagement, improved lesson planning, and better content comprehension—all contributing to a more interactive and effective learning environment.”

Recognizing the need for long-term value and adaptability, the school board also prioritized price and future-proofing. They sought a robust and scalable solution capable of supporting evolving educational needs, particularly the integration of more wireless casting applications to facilitate interactive and engaging learning experiences. With all students and teachers equipped with touchscreen laptops, they can now annotate directly on the ViewBoard screen in any learning environment, further enhancing collaboration and interactivity.

“Flexibility was another key factor in choosing ViewSonic,” said Deacon. “The digital learning ecosystem seamlessly supports both in-class and remote learning, while cart-mounted interactive displays add mobility and convenience. Together, these solutions provide end-to-end adaptability as the school advances its integrated approach to holistic learning.”

As the school board continues evolving its digital learning landscape, teachers enthusiastically embrace the ViewBoard ecosystem, increasingly integrating its diverse features into their daily instruction. From interactive pop quizzes and efficient split-screen functionality to the seamless Throw feature for sharing files and images, these tools are instrumental in significantly boosting student engagement.

This proactive adoption is translating into tangible results. Teachers observe increased student participation and demonstrably better learning outcomes across all grade levels. This underscores the transformative impact of ViewBoard’s digital tools in revolutionizing lesson planning, fostering dynamic student interaction, and enhancing content comprehension.

“ViewSonic’s myViewBoard software is fully integrated with the ViewBoard interactive displays, empowering the school board to create immersive, next-generation learning environments,” said Deacon. “This powerful foundation supports the schools’ long-term vision—ensuring that every student, regardless of background, can learn and thrive in smart, connected classrooms.”

By Owen Matson, Ph.D.

Every time I taught Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man in my AP 11th-grade English classes, I discovered new dimensions of the novel’s devastating beauty and profound complexity. My students, however, often struggled with its dense themes—identity, race, and societal invisibility. These topics sparked rich discussions, but it was difficult to know who was truly engaged and who was quietly struggling. Some students dominated conversations while others stayed silent, leaving me guessing who grasped the symbolism and who needed more support. Many educators can relate.

Back then, I didn’t have a tool like ClassSwift. I relied on exit tickets, short formative quizzes, and classroom discussions to gauge understanding. I might as well have been carving lessons into stone walls with burnt sticks and ochre. While discussions sometimes led to magical moments of insight, these methods were incomplete and time-consuming. Tracking participation and understanding in a structured way was nearly impossible. And honestly, the daily pile of exit tickets and quizzes felt endless.

If I had ClassSwift, those fragmented insights could have been replaced with clear, real-time feedback—showing exactly who was engaged and who needed help. No more guessing—just responsive, effective teaching. ClassSwift’s AI-powered question generation makes it easy to create diverse formative assessments, allowing students to demonstrate their skills and knowledge through formats such as drag-and-drop activities, image-based prompts, and audio responses. Its robust reporting features, complete with instructional recommendations aligned with Common Core and state standards, would have helped me adapt lessons on the spot to address individual learning needs. Additionally, ClassSwift’s real-time translation feature supports second-language learners by enabling them to engage with content in their preferred language, fostering inclusivity and promoting equitable participation.

That may all sound a bit promotional—but it’s completely true.

And these features only scratch the surface. ClassSwift offers even more tools to support classroom engagement, formative assessment, and responsive teaching—far more than I can cover here. But even these core features could have dramatically improved how I taught and how my students learned.

Educators today still face the same challenge: balancing student engagement with meaningful, actionable insights to guide instruction. After years in the classroom, I tend to approach EdTech solutions with skepticism. Too often, interactive tools focus on boosting participation without revealing real understanding. On the flip side, many assessment tools emphasize data collection but neglect the collaborative, discussion-based teaching and learning that drives deeper thinking.

ClassSwift bridges that gap—helping teachers engage students while using data-driven insights to adjust instruction in real-time.

In what follows, I’ll step out of the first person to provide a more detailed breakdown of how ClassSwift delivers value for teachers, IT managers, and administrators. This post is the first in a blog series exploring ClassSwift’s full range of benefits. ClassSwift is like a Swiss Army knife for the classroom: Simple to use with just one tool in hand, yet capable of unfolding into a wide array of powerful features that support every aspect of teaching and learning.

ClassSwift: AI-Powered Engagement, Assessment, and Data-Driven Instruction for K-12 Educators

ClassSwift is an AI-powered interactive teaching and learning platform that empowers educators with AI-driven formative assessments, data-driven insights, and real-time student feedback. It enables teachers to create engaging questions, track student responses, and instantly adjust instruction to meet diverse learning needs.

By offering multiple question types—such as multiple-choice, open-ended, or drag-and-drop—ClassSwift supports formative assessment strategies at every stage of instruction. Educators can administer explicit quizzes, monitor student participation, or facilitate group work around shared prompts. ClassSwift also provides a reporting hub—a dashboard that supports data-driven instruction (DDI): Identifying skill gaps, delivering instructional recommendations tailored to class performance, and ensuring alignment with Common Core or relevant state standards, all while supporting a student-centered learning environment in K-12 classroom technology.

What ClassSwift Does for Teachers: Key Benefits of ClassSwift (with More to Come):

ClassSwift offers essential tools that boost productivity, engage students, and simplify data-driven instruction. This overview highlights core features that we’ll explore in greater detail—along with even more benefits—in upcoming blog posts:

• Boosts Teacher Productivity: Quickly create and deliver multiple-choice, open-ended, or drag-and-drop questions with AI-assisted tools.
  
  
• Drives Real-Time Student Engagement: Create and launch interactive quizzes and track student participation during lessons and group activities. Utilize ClassSwift's buzzer and randomizer to gamify discussion-based learning, leveraging playful peer-to-peer motivation to foster an engaging and interactive environment that encourages all students to participate actively and inclusively.
  
  
• Simplifies Data-Driven Decision-Making: ClassSwift automatically gathers and reports student data aligned with Common Core and state standards, providing teachers with instructional recommendations to customized to class needs.[1]
  
  
• Simplifies Differentiated Instruction: Use immediate feedback to adapt instruction on the fly and keep lessons student-centered.
  
  
• Enhances Accessibility and Inclusivity: Offers real-time translation and audio response features, supporting second-language learners and students with diverse learning needs by providing alternative ways to engage and demonstrate understanding. 
  
  

• Streamlines Classroom Management: Simplifies classroom organization with tools for attendance tracking, student grouping, and preset quizzes, reducing administrative workload.
  
  
• Encourages Collaborative Learning: Supports group activities and peer discussions with interactive tools that foster teamwork, build critical communication skills, and strengthen social connections, enhancing both academic and interpersonal growth. The Randomizer tool promotes inclusivity by randomly selecting students to provide feedback, ensuring equitable participation and diverse perspectives in discussions.

Here's How It Works

ClassSwift makes it easy for teachers to engage students, assess learning, and improve instruction in real time. Here’s how this AI-powered platform streamlines classroom activities and supports data-driven teaching:

1. Fast and Easy Class Setup: Students join instantly using a QR code or URL, automatically appearing on the participation board.
   
   
2. Effortless Question Creation: Upload PDFs, take screenshots, or type questions directly. AI quickly generates customizable multiple-choice, open-ended, and drag-and-drop questions.
   
   
3. Real-Time Student Engagement: Display interactive questions live. Students respond instantly, and their icons light up, boosting participation and collaboration.
   
   
4. Instant Discussions and Assessments: Use questions to drive engaging discussions or check understanding. Responses are recorded in real time for immediate feedback.
   
   
5. Data-Driven Insights with the Reporting Hub: Access detailed reports aligned with Common Core and state standards. Identify learning gaps, track progress, and get instructional recommendations to improve teaching.

ClassSwift: Flexible Solutions for Every Educational Setting

ClassSwift offers two tailored versions to support diverse educational environments—ClassSwift Lite and ClassSwift for Schools and Districts. Both versions are designed to help educators boost classroom engagement, streamline assessments, and gain real-time insights into student learning.

• ClassSwift Lite is ideal for individual teachers and small classes, providing essential tools for interactive teaching at no cost.
  
  
• ClassSwift for Schools and Districts offers advanced features for scalability, data management, and administrative oversight, making it perfect for larger educational systems.

ClassSwift: Transforming Interactive Teaching

ClassSwift unifies engagement, assessment, and reporting in one powerful platform. More than an assessment tool, it encourages dynamic, discussion-based learning while delivering real-time insights to guide instruction.

This blog offers only a brief introduction to ClassSwift’s essential features, functionality, and value for educators. In upcoming posts, we will dig deeper into how ClassSwift reshapes classroom dynamics—particularly in the realms of data-driven instruction, collaborative learning, recognition pedagogy, and metacognitive self-awareness. We’ll expand on the research-based evidence presented here to illustrate how ClassSwift facilitates inclusive participation, nurtures self-reflection, and strengthens students’ sense of community and shared responsibility. We’ll also show how the platform reinforces a growth mindset by enabling learners to monitor their own progress and recognize one another’s contributions in real time.

The most effective educational technology nurtures belonging, curiosity, and understanding. ClassSwift combines real-time engagement with evidence-based teaching, empowering every student to actively participate in their own learning journey.

Learn how ClassSwift can support educators, administrators, and IT teams in creating more connected and responsive learning environments.

What is EDLA Certification and Why It Matters for Interactive Displays in K-12 Classrooms

By Owen Matson, Ph.D.

Has this ever happened to you? You’re preparing for a lesson and, to engage your students, you decide to use an interactive quiz from Kahoot! to review key concepts. You’ve set up your presentation in Google Slides, but now you need to integrate the results of the quiz into your lesson plan. So, you take a screenshot of the Kahoot! results, crop it, and manually paste it into your slide deck. But the data isn’t interactive anymore, and you’ve just spent valuable time wrestling with technology instead of focusing on your students.

If this sounds familiar, then you’ll want to know more about EDLA.

Yes, "EDLA" is yet another vague acronym from the world of technology and education—as if either of these fields were lacking for variations of acronymic obfuscation. But unlike many other buzzwords, EDLA stands for something that can directly improve your classroom experience, specifically when it comes to interactive displays and integrating educational technology. In this article, I’ll explain what EDLA certification is, why it matters for interactive displays in K-12 classrooms, and how it helps eliminate the type of tech headaches that all too often disrupt our teaching efforts. Let’s dive in.

What Is EDLA Certification?

Enterprise Device Licensing Agreement (EDLA) is Google’s way of giving certain Android-based devices—like interactive classroom displays (the ones you may use in your class)—a seal of approval. Let’s break this down a bit. First, “android-based” means the interactive touchscreen displays in your class run on the same operating system you might have on your smartphone or tablet. The interactive touchscreen displays you use in your classroom work on this same Android system. Because these displays share the same platform as your phone or tablet, you can use familiar Google apps and features without much fuss. However, to guarantee everything works smoothly in a school environment, Google has created this special certification process.

When a device is EDLA-certified, it means it has gone through rigorous testing to make sure it works smoothly with Google Mobile Services (GMS—yes, another acronym). Think of GMS as the backbone for many Google apps and features you already know, such as Google Classroom, Google Docs, Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Chrome. If a device passes these tests, it’s a signal that you, your students, and your school’s IT staff can rely on it to open and run Google tools without glitches, crashes, or other technical hurdles. This reliability is especially important in the classroom, where lessons need to move along without unexpected tech issues. By using EDLA-certified devices, you can focus more on teaching and less on figuring out why the display or an app isn’t working.

To earn that certification, devices must prove they meet Google’s high reliability, compatibility, and security standards. This covers everything from how easily the device handles software updates to how quickly it launches apps. In short, EDLA-certified devices are designed to make classroom tech simpler and more dependable for everyone involved.

Key Testing Steps

Android Compatibility Test Suite (CTS)

• Purpose: Ensures the device’s hardware and software can run Android apps (like Kahoot! or Quizlet) without crashes or slowdowns.
• Classroom Benefit: Teachers and students experience fewer tech interruptions, keeping lessons on track.

Google Mobile Services Test Suite (GTS)

• Purpose: Verifies integration with core Google apps (Play Store, Drive, Classroom) and adds security via Google Play Protect.
• Classroom Benefit: Easy app installs, automatic updates, and reduced security risks—no extra steps or worries about compatibility.

Software Stability & Security Checks

• Purpose: Confirms that frequent app updates, heavy classroom use, and real-world conditions won’t cause major device hiccups.
• Classroom Benefit: Smooth performance and regular security patches, so you spend more time teaching and less time troubleshooting.

Manufacturer Hardware Stress Tests

• Purpose: Some makers (like ViewSonic) add extra tests for durability, touch responsiveness, and overall build quality.
• Classroom Benefit: A sturdier, longer-lasting display that handles daily wear and tear without mid-lesson failures.

Feel better about all those acronyms now? With EDLA-certified devices, you can focus on teaching—rather than memorizing a new alphabet soup. For teachers, the payoff of EDLA comes down to the following:

Why It Matters

1. Seamless Integration
   Easily open Docs, Slides, or Classroom on the display, make live edits, and share instantly—no file-format headaches or software conflicts.
2. Consistent Performance
   Fewer device crashes and smoother app usage keep students focused on learning, not on tech hiccups.
3. Security and Updates
   Automatic updates and patches ensure data privacy and reduce IT workload over the life of the device.
4. User-Friendly Workflows
   Teachers can rely on the interactive display to interact with content in real time, from annotating a Google Doc to showcasing a class-made slideshow.

Google Workspace Integration

One of the primary advantages of EDLA-certified interactive displays is their seamless integration with Google Workspace for Education. Whether it’s Google Classroom, Docs, Drive, or Sheets, all of these essential tools work together, without a hitch. Teachers can open assignments, share files, and collaborate with students directly from the display.

Imagine this: A teacher opens a Google Doc on the interactive display to show students how to complete an assignment. Instead of transferring documents between devices or worrying about software compatibility, everything needed for the lesson is already set up. There’s no need to manually upload files or check if they will open correctly—EDLA-certified devices allow you to focus on the teaching, not the tech.

Expanded Educational App Access

With EDLA certification, your interactive display goes beyond just Google tools. You can install and launch a variety of popular educational apps directly from the Google Play Store—including Kahoot!, ClassDojo, and Seesaw—all on the panel itself. This can simplify your workflow compared to using a computer or a basic Android-based screen where you’d typically connect an external device or switch inputs.

For instance, when giving a Kahoot! quiz, you could still run it from your computer hooked to a standard interactive flat panel—but that often means toggling between your computer screen, the IFP input, or dealing with extra wires and potential compatibility issues. On an EDLA-certified display, however, you can launch the Kahoot! app natively on the board’s built-in operating system. This allows you to:

• Display live quiz questions and results without switching devices or inputs.
• Quickly jump to another app or a digital whiteboard on the same panel (e.g., to review quiz answers or annotate a Google Doc in real time).
• Minimize tech hurdles (like sideloading or external connections) since EDLA enables one-step app installs right from the Play Store.

In other words, the benefit isn’t just about running Kahoot! itself—it’s about simplifying the entire class flow. You spend less time juggling devices and more time engaging your students with interactive, on-panel activities.

User Experience

In addition to functionality, the user experience is a major factor in making technology work for teachers and students. EDLA-certified interactive displays provide a customizable interface, allowing educators to set up the device to suit their classroom needs. Whether it's quick access to Google Drive or launching a particular app, the device can be configured to enhance productivity and minimize distractions.

What’s more, EDLA-certified devices ensure that teachers and students won’t be bogged down by technical problems or interruptions. The devices undergo rigorous testing to ensure stability and reliability, so teachers can trust that the technology will work when they need it most.

Conclusion

EDLA certification offers K-12 schools and educators a reliable solution for integrating interactive displays into their classrooms. By ensuring compatibility with Google’s suite of services, providing access to a broad range of educational apps, and simplifying the user experience, EDLA-certified devices reduce the tech-related frustrations that can interrupt lessons and hinder student engagement.

The seamless integration provided by EDLA-certified interactive displays means that educators can focus on what they do best—teaching—without worrying about whether the technology will work as expected. As we continue to explore the role of EDLA in this blog series, it’s clear that this certification provides a practical and effective solution for enhancing both teaching and learning experiences in the classroom.

If you’re considering the adoption of interactive displays in your school or district, EDLA certification should be at the top of your list when evaluating potential devices. Explore our EDLA-certified display solutions and see how they can enhance classroom learning.
