Up To Date EdTech Fosters Student Success
Technology in the classroom is increasingly important as the world goes digital. It’s not at all unusual to see even young students know more than their teachers with some of the latest devices.

Educators have spoken and OneScreen was listening.
Schools need the latest EdTech to empower teachers and see real improvements in student performance.
But the traditional purchase model for EdTech has been a barrier to making ever-current technology consistently available.
Better EdTech was on just about every school’s wish list for years, but now it is mission critical. Fortunately, technology for the classroom has gotten more powerful and less expensive very recently.
For Kevin Talentino, CEO of Virtual Technologies Inc. (VTI), the world of A/V and instructional tech is secondnature. After 30 years in the industry, he has created a role for himself as the cornerstone in a wholly unique, customer-oriented partnership with OneScreen and Team 1st.
Summer is just around the corner, the world is getting back to business and OneScreen is growing with a new sense of purpose.

Thousands of GoSafe temperature scanners already protect entryways all over the world. Now GoSafe Pro expands on the device’s core capabilities to meet the unique entryway control requirements of each organization.
Schools in Hale County, AL, just south of Tuscaloosa, have installed OneScreen GoSafe to keep students safe as they return to the classroom. If any students, faculty or staff members have a high temperature reading, school leaders are alerted and precautions go into effect. Facial recognition also takes attendance and verifies everyone who comes through the doors is supposed to be there.
“It makes our school feel very modern,” a student commented. GoSafe combines the latest data security with advanced AI-enhanced Qualcomm technology for world-class speed and accuracy. Learn more here.
Whether they are in the physical classroom or logging in from home, kids struggle to stay engaged in schoolwork. In many cases, concentration on the lesson IS the lesson.
But the world is different now. Since 2008, smartphones and tablets have become virtual babysitters. Kids talk to their toys and their toys often talk back. Children today grow up understanding technology in a way no other generation has and there is no going back, even if we wanted to.
In Part I of Are We Asking Too Much of Teachers, we reviewed answers from our survey of teachers, primarily in the US, about their biggest concerns in the reopening of schools. We also asked whether they felt that the definition of teaching had changed forever.
We went deeper in Part II, moving on to what could be done to address those concerns. Their answers were thoughtful, complex, creative, emotional and sometimes even heart-breaking.
