Samsung has partnered with DisplayNote to embed the latter’s Montage wireless screensharing software into select Samsung Interactive Displays for the US education market.
The integration is available on Samsung’s WAFX and WAFX-P interactive display models. Montage is designed to allow teachers and students to share content from a range of devices via native apps, browser-based access, AirPlay, Miracast and Google Cast. The platform also supports cross-network connectivity, touchback control, moderator control and local connection options.
The partnership is aimed at helping school districts standardise classroom technology across multiple learning spaces, reducing the need for IT teams to manage fragmented systems. The companies say the integration is designed to allow teachers to connect quickly and begin lessons without troubleshooting cables, settings or incompatible devices.
Dr Micah Shippee, director of education at Samsung Electronics America, said: “As school leaders work to improve classroom engagement across a wide variety of hardware and software ecosystems, there is a growing need for technology that strengthens the connection between teachers and students. Through the integration of DisplayNote with our Interactive Displays, we’re helping to build a single tool that facilitates more active learning into classrooms and better equips educators to support positive student outcomes.”
Ed Morgan, CEO of DisplayNote, added: “Too often, classroom technology still creates friction for the people it is supposed to support. Teachers need to be able to walk into a room and start the lesson with confidence, while IT teams need solutions that can be deployed and managed consistently at scale. By combining Samsung’s reach in education with DisplayNote’s software experience layer, we are helping schools create classrooms that simply work better, every day.”
