The Strategy
Springboard IT started off the new partnership with Merion Mercy by implementing a school-wide Promethean Activboard integration. In order to ensure the staff was well equipped to handle, teach, and develop lesson plans with their new technology, Springboard IT’s Education Team performed customized Professional Development sessions. These sessions taught teachers how to use multi-touch features to gather facts and information, create graphic organizers, and annotate their lessons for an interactive educational experience.
After that, Merion Mercy Academy and Springboard IT began to work on another way to increase student engagement, by rolling out a school-wide iPad program. By introducing a JAMF device management solution, teachers and students were able to interact and communicate with their new tablets. Better yet, the seamless iPad-to-Activboard connection allowed students to respond to quizzes directly from their iPad tablets and enabled teachers to immediately pull up resources and results so everyone could truly participate.
