Top 10 Tech Tools from OneScreen to Build Better Learning Environments

EdTech can be the ultimate teacher’s assistant, helping them do more in the classroom, do it more efficiently and see measurable gains in student performance. We designed our digital tools for just that — to help teachers and students at the same time prepare for a rapidly accelerating technological world.

Here’s a quick overview of the most popular EdTech tools from OneScreen, built with input from educators to bring tomorrow’s possibilities into today’s classroom. 

Schools can choose a single solution,  mix-and-match or bundle these together for the perfect solution as needed.

1. Touchscreens

The signature interactive flat panel from OneScreen is fully customizable, with the flexibility to meet each classroom’s specific goals and needs. Our Touchscreen is the evolution of the traditional classroom whiteboard, giving teachers access to all the resources of the internet and the ability to annotate on the board in real-time while streaming visuals from up to 9 devices simultaneously. The 4K Ultra HD display comes in an array of sizes that can go up on the wall or onto a mobile cart for easy transport from classroom to classroom. For the simplest, most cost-effective option, our Touchscreen TL6 is geared toward the basics — only including the most reliable, intuitive features that educators need most.

2. Screen Skills Gurus

OneScreen is the only EdTech manufacturer that makes sure customers get the most value from their investments by providing free, unlimited help & training for everything we sell. When a customer contacts a Screen Skills Guru, by phone, video call, chat or email, they are talking to an engineer with in-depth knowledge of the hardware and software, not a customer service agent reading scripts. This is a massive commitment of time and material that demonstrates the OneScreen promise of breaking down barriers to collaboration. When you need to know, there’s a Guru for that. 

3. Video Walls

Video walls are the ideal solution for large, experiential displays, especially when engaging larger audiences. Whether implemented into the classroom or an auditorium, they have the unique ability to captivate minds and bring presentations, lessons, and visual content to life. OneScreen’s Virtual Wall is a user friendly, ultra-lightweight option with HD resolution that comes in multiple sizes. The ability to purchase the Virtual Wall, among other products, on subscription means that the hardware and software is updated every three years to ensure that educators have access to the latest and greatest technology available.

4. Security Cameras

The AI-enhanced NeuroCam Series from OneScreen remains one of the most reliable and powerful offerings on the EdTech market with built-in capabilities like face recognition, fire detection, intrusion detection, people counting and more. It’s a security solution that pinpoints the individual needs of larger schools and those with more advanced safety concerns. In addition, the low-cost PrimeCam Series easily integrates with third party VMS systems, making it the perfect rapid expansion piece for existing security networks. These world class security cameras assure everyone who comes through the doors at your school, office or healthcare facility that safety comes first. 

5. Meerkat Safe

When any kind of critical event happens, you need to know now where help is needed. Meerkat Safe condenses a real-time security alert and location service into a single button on a wearable badge. Leadership and first responders gain precision info on where and when an event is taking place in real time. With the click of a button, teachers can signal that they need assistance for student fights, unauthorized visitors, accidents or weather-related events. Meerkat Safe is how schools stay prepared to protect those in their care campus-wide . 

6. Annotate

Writing notes on the board is an essential feature not only for lessons, but for any kind of collaboration and brainstorming. OneScreen’s Annotate software allows users to write directly on their touchscreens with their fingers or easy-to-use tools like a stylus, in-person or remotely. Instantly convert hand-written script to print in any font and color. Roughly drawn shapes can automatically snap to geometric figures for a quick, clear understanding of the material. Record and share your lessons or presentations with a few clicks. There’s no easier way to engage your listeners.

Video conferencing software is a necessity for classrooms as educators navigate remote and hybrid learning environments. OneScreen’s Hype is the ideal browser-based, secure platform for working together on any device because it’s browser-based. Lead video calls with up to 50 participants to accommodate large classrooms. The intuitive interface not only can screen share, record and present, but can also annotate in real-time, helping virtual lessons remain engaging and interactive.

8. EShare 

Teachers are no longer tied to their desks at the front of the room. With OneScreen’s EShare, you can roam the classroom and share your screen from anywhere, using just about any device – laptop, tablet, or even a smartphone. Up to four presenters can send their presentation to the main screen at the same time, allowing student groups to work together on big projects and learning games. 

9. Zuni Learning

Everyone learns differently, so teachers need a full arsenal of lessons, models, hands-on exercises, videos, quizzes, and more to keep everyone up to speed. That’s why teachers rely on Zuni Learning for hundreds of thousands of free learning materials. These are the best available - vetted by teachers and ready to use with suggestions for literacy, math, science, history, coding, social studies, and just about any topic you can name.
