Using Touch Enabled Monitors in the Classroom

Operating System: Windows

Applies To: UB instructors and others using Technology Classroom teaching stations

Last Updated: January 23, 2024

The monitor on classroom teaching stations shows the source being displayed on the projector in the classroom. When that source is the Internal PC, you can use your finger or a stylus to control the computer, annotate over content, or create written content on the fly. Writing or drawing on the Internal PC provides visuals that can be seen by students anywhere in the room.

The monitors are on flexible arms and can swivel in many directions and tilt to rest on the teaching station in a comfortable position for writing.

Use cases for touch screen monitors

  • Write by hand on the screen to enhance the learning experience especially in computational and visual courses
  • Highlight important parts of a slide or document
  • Use with the native inking/annotating capabilities of applications such as PowerPoint, Word, and OneNote
  • Use with the annotation tools for Zoom and Teams

Recommended stylus

The classroom monitors work with any passive stylus and finger touch. They do not work with active styluses. We have found that Adonit Jot pens work well.
