Why Activate Class Connect on Your School’s Interactive Displays? (↑)
#1 Centralized Management of Interactive Displays
When equipping every classroom with an interactive screen, it’s crucial to manage this technology daily. With the Class Connect admin platform, we provide a turnkey solution for centralized and remote configuration and maintenance of all your Speechi Interactive Displays. This relieves the teaching staff from technical tasks, which remain under the administrator’s control.
#2 Secure the Use of Interactive Displays in the School
The administrator sets usage rules and limits for guests and teachers connecting their personalized workspace to the Interactive Displays. This helps protect the equipment from unauthorized actions, such as installing non-compliant apps. The administrator can make educational and utility applications available for teachers to select and add to their personalized workspace.

4 Reasons Teachers Will Love Class Connect (↑)
#1 Personalize Your Workspace on the Classroom Interactive Display 🎨
Class Connect allows teachers to create a personalized workspace on the Speechi interactive display that aligns with their teaching habits.
From the Speechi Connect app, teachers can choose their wallpaper and integrate educational or utility apps into their workspace, among those provided by the IT manager.
The Highlight
You don’t need to have an assigned classroom to enjoy a personalized Interactive Display! Teachers can retrieve their customized workspace on any Interactive Display in the school within seconds using the QR Code displayed on the Interactive Display’s Swift Bar. Before leaving the classroom, just log out to allow the next teacher to load their workspace on the Interactive Display.
#2 Prepare Your Teaching Day on the Speechi Interactive Display 📂
Have images, PDFs, or videos to display on the Interactive Display? Instead of transferring these digital documents to a USB drive, you can upload them to your Speechi Connect space from your PC. Once in the classroom, connect the Interactive Display to your space via the QR code, and all your resources will appear in the Shared Files panel on the Swift Bar. Convenient!
End-of-Day Perk
All documents saved on the Interactive Display can be saved directly to your space! Your Note documents, annotated screenshots, etc., are transferred to your Speechi Connect space. You can retrieve and transfer them to your PC once your teaching day is over.
#3 Launch Interactive Activities on Tablets 🙋♂️
Class Connect gives teachers access to a platform where they can assign activities to students on tablets. On this platform, teachers can create lessons and exercises to be launched on the Interactive Display, which students can complete independently on their tablets. Here are three examples of possible activities:
Display a Student’s Screen for Better Engagement
 |
Display any student’s screen on the Interactive Display to share their answers with the class. |
Launch Interactive Games to Reinforce Learning
 |
Create matching and sorting games, and launch them on students’ tablets for engaging practice. |
Use Scientific Simulations for Better Understanding
 |
Access a library of scientific simulations to illustrate lessons on the Interactive Display and allow students to experiment with the concepts on their tablets. |
Motivating Students
Send “good points” to a student’s tablet! During the lesson, you can send personalized rewards for participation, correct answers, or focus.
#4 Teach Hybrid or Remote Classes 💻
The same platform also allows teachers to conduct remote classes while benefiting from interactive activities, such as those mentioned above. A complete solution that keeps students engaged even from a distance!
