Events Spotlight: Edtech Showcase for January 2025
In the realm of education, two recent developments are making waves: the launch of Philips ScreenShare, a screen-sharing platform, and the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit.
Philips ScreenShare: Enhancing Collaborative Learning
Philips ScreenShare, a new presentation software solution, is revolutionizing teaching and meeting spaces by providing wireless content sharing and connected experiences. This innovative tool allows educators and students to share content from multiple devices simultaneously, fostering active participation, dynamic presentations, and smooth transitions between different content sources.
The key benefits of Philips ScreenShare in an educational setting include its intuitive and seamless operation, compatibility with various platforms, improved classroom engagement, and support for remote and hybrid learning models. By simplifying how content is shared, ScreenShare supports interactive lessons and multimedia presentations, encouraging collaborative learning and group discussions.
Philips ScreenShare is pre-installed on new Philips Collaboration BDL3152E and BDL4152E interactive displays, and available for download on existing models.
NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano: Boosting AI Capabilities
The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit is an affordable and accessible platform for developers, students, and makers. This compact computer delivers up to 67 TOPS of AI performance, making it an ideal tool for running generative AI models, such as vision transformers, large language models, vision-language models, and more.
Existing users of the NVIDIA Jetson platform can experience a performance boost with a software upgrade. The new NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit offers a 1.7X improvement over its predecessor, making it a powerful tool for a wide range of AI applications.
A New Earth Science Curriculum with Slooh
A new NGSS-aligned Earth science curriculum has been introduced, tailored for Earth science and career and technical education IT courses. Leveraging Slooh's platform, this curriculum allows students to capture images of Earth surface features and atmospheric phenomena, and participate in Quest learning activities. Several Quests in the Earth science curriculum are focused on satellite IT, teaching students about satellite making, launching, maintenance, and monitoring.
