While it’s understandable to get fixated on cost alone when considering the purchase of a smart board, it’s important to consider additional factors as well beyond the price tag that impact the value you get from your investment.
Look beyond the cost: When shopping for a smart board, it’s important to consider factors other than price. Think about the features and capabilities that you need and how they can support your teaching goals. Don’t forget to factor in long-term costs such as maintenance and software licensing fees when evaluating your options.
Check out the software: All smart boards have similar hardware, but what sets them apart is their digital whiteboard software. ViewSonic’s myViewBoard digital whiteboarding software is particularly noteworthy, as it’s constantly updated based on customer feedback and does not have any licensing fees for schools and institutions. Look for software that’s easy to use and intuitive, with features that support your teaching style and needs.
Consider vendor support: When investing in a smart board for your classroom, choose a manufacturer/vendor who will provide the necessary support. This includes training your staff to utilize the boards effectively and providing ongoing support for issues or questions. Look for a vendor with a warranty and a reputation for excellent customer service. When you partner with Parmetech for your interactive whiteboard needs, you get incredible customer support from our in-house team of experts as well as incredible support from our manufacturer partner ViewSonic.
Evaluate overall value: A good interactive whiteboard’s weight exceeds the initial cost. Consider the impact it will have on your teaching and student engagement and the potential for improved collaboration and productivity. Look for a smart board that offers the features you need at a reasonable cost, with the support and service to ensure it’s a valuable addition to your classroom.
