Interactive whiteboards have already changed how we teach, bringing lessons to life in ways traditional boards couldn’t. But when you add screen sharing into the equation, things really start to improve. Rise Vision’s screen-sharing feature helps you make the most of your interactive whiteboard, making it even more versatile and engaging.
What is Screen Sharing for Interactive Whiteboards?
Screen sharing lets you display whatever’s on your device to the interactive whiteboard. Teachers can quickly share slides, videos, websites, or any other content with the class. Rise Vision makes this process smooth and simple, without any complicated setup. You just connect, and everything appears on the screen instantly.
It’s quick, easy, and designed to let you focus on teaching without any tech hassles.
Why Add Screen Sharing to Your Interactive Whiteboard Setup?
Interactive whiteboards are great, but combining them with screen sharing makes them even better. Here’s why:
Share Any Content, Anytime
Need to jump between slides, a video, or a website during a lesson? With Rise Vision, you can share whatever you need with just a couple of clicks. You won’t waste time fumbling around with devices or cables.
Encourage Collaboration
Screen sharing isn’t just about what you’re showing; it’s about who gets to share. With Rise Vision, students can also take control of the screen, giving them a chance to show their work or explain their ideas. This helps keep the class interactive and engaging, rather than just passive listening.
Works Across Devices
Rise Vision works with multiple platforms, so whether you're using a laptop, tablet, or phone, you can easily connect to the whiteboard. This flexibility ensures it’s easy to use, regardless of your classroom setup.

Tips for Using Screen Sharing in Classrooms
Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of screen sharing:
1. Organize Your Content
Before starting your lesson, make sure everything you need to share is ready. Have your slides, videos, and websites lined up so you don’t waste time looking for them while the class is waiting.
2. Let Students Share
Give students a chance to share their screens, too. This helps them feel more involved and adds an extra layer of interaction to the lesson. It’s a great way to encourage participation.
3. Stay in Control
As a teacher, you should be in control of what’s shared. Rise Vision lets you easily manage who can share their screen at any given time, so the lesson stays on track.
4. Use the Interactive Features
Don’t forget to take advantage of the interactive features on your whiteboard. Annotate directly on the screen to explain concepts or make the lesson more visual. It can help students understand better and stay engaged.
