editors choice Editor’s Choice: Ebeam Edge for Education

Turn Your Old Existing White Board into the Future of Learning

eBeam Edge for Education is transforming existing classroom white boards into interactive ones. Interactive White Boards or “smartboards” help students learn through media rich lesson plans so they can interact “hands on” at the board.

Interactive White Boards or “smartboards” have been around for many years now and are an excellent tool to help teachers provide the most compelling lesson plans for their students. The problem is many schools cannot afford the high costs of acquiring this goundbreaking technology. Luidia’s eBeam Edge for Education has bridged this gap providing the most fully featured mobile interactive smart board on the market at half of the costs of their top competitors like Promethean and Smart Tech.
