TOP USES:

MULTISENSORY LEARNING

Clear Touch plays an integral part in the development of multisensory learning experiences. With our interactive displays, students in primary and high school classrooms gain the opportunity to engage with lesson materials through physical interaction, such as touching, dragging, and writing. This hands-on approach greatly enhances their comprehension and ability to retain important concepts.

PREPARATION FOR STATE EXAMS

Teachers utilized Clear Touch panels to create activities that replicated the exam format, offering students a sense of familiarity and comfort during their preparation. This approach led to enhanced performance and confidence in exams.

CURRICULUM INTEGRATION 

With the success Dede received from integrating Clear Touch solutions into her curriculum, she is working with other educators to develop and incorporate more interactive lessons. These lessons reinforce instruction, create equitable learning, and increase student scores by catering to diverse learning needs.
