Back to school has taken on a new meaning. Educators need collaborative and safe display solutions to give teachers, students, and parents peace of mind as we embark on an adjusted way of life together. Many schools are turning to hybrid learning solutions to accommodate the flexible return of in-person teaching, while providing impactful, virtual classroom options at the ready. Samsung has partnered with Boxlight to provide schools with the learning software, instructional technology, and Professional Development needed to enhance the hybrid classroom, while future proofing their investment.
