K-12 End-of-Year IT Checklist:
Managing ViewBoard Interactive Displays and Campus Devices

For K-12 IT administrators, the end of the school year is the best opportunity you’ll have to ensure your campus is ready for the fall.

Because active instruction has paused, every task you complete eliminates a potential first-day emergency in September.

This guide outlines exactly how school IT admins can close out the year, optimize ViewBoard^® interactive displays and ensure back-to-school readiness.

Plus, because you can complete most of these tasks remotely through ViewSonic Manager™ or Manager Advanced™, you can run your entire end-of-school checklist from a single screen.

Summer IT Maintenance Checklist At a Glance

The following checklist outlines your core priorities and the tools required to execute them before the new school year begins:

Why Summer IT Maintenance Matters

In school IT, deferred maintenance behaves almost exactly like interest: it compounds into massive tech debt by September.

Addressing these tasks over the break means fewer surprises when teachers and students return in the fall.

How ViewSonic Manager Can Help IT Admins Prepare for Summer

ViewSonic Manager is a free, cloud-based device management platform that lets IT admins access, monitor and maintain their district’s ViewBoard^® interactive displays from any browser.

Instead of dealing with displays individually, you can use the platform as a secure, centralized command center to control your entire fleet.

For school districts with larger deployments, the upgraded Manager Advanced tier adds automated job scheduling, device profiles and remote desktop access to handle bulk summer workflows without manual intervention.

If you haven’t already, enrolling your displays in ViewSonic Manager is one of the easiest ways to speed up and simplify every other task on your summer checklist.

On-Site Tasks: Checking Hardware Before the Break

A physical walkthrough before summer begins is the most effective way to protect your district’s hardware investment.

Addressing basic classroom wear now prevents minor physical issues from ballooning into expensive hardware replacements in the fall.

Clean and Inspect Every Display

• Wipe screens and frames with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals because they permanently ruin specialized anti-glare coatings.
• Examine the physical mount, secure loose cables and inspect the connection ports for damage while standing at each panel.

Complete Your Accessory Audit

• Locate and test every stylus, remote control and cable in each classroom to verify they are present and functioning.
• Log any missing or damaged accessories immediately so you can place replacement orders early to avoid late-August shipping delays.

Enroll Any New Devices Immediately

• Enroll newly received ViewBoard displays into ViewSonic Manager or Manager Advanced using a PIN, serial number or QR code.
• Use the batch enrollment feature to streamline mass setups and bring your entire inventory under centralized control.

Remote Management:
What to Handle Through ViewSonic Manager

Once your physical walkthrough is complete, you can use ViewSonic Manager to handle the rest of your summer checklist.

Update ViewBoard Firmware

• Review the status of your fleet and prioritize keeping firmware up to date.
• Deploy updates for ViewBoard interactive displays manually or schedule automated installations using Manager Advanced.
• Run these updates while classrooms are empty to avoid interrupting active classes.

Push App Updates Across All Devices

• Install, update or remove applications across your enrolled displays remotely.
• Audit your current software footprint and purge unused apps to free up system memory.

Update Your Staff Accounts

• Revoke directory access for departing staff and pre-create accounts for incoming staff to prevent configuration delays.
• Configure custom and role-based access permissions to ensure consistent access to devices and features in Manager Advanced.

Back Up Your Manager Console

• Back up your ViewSonic Manager console before making bulk changes by navigating to Settings and selecting “Back Up and Restore.”
• Maintain backups before and after major directory updates to secure your custom device groups.

Power Down Unused Displays

• Scheduling power-offs can help cut utility costs and preserve backlight lifespans.
• Instead of manually shutting down individual displays, save time by using ViewSonic Manager Advanced to apply shutdown rules to all panels or to specific groups based on usage.

myViewBoard Tasks:
Accounts, Subscriptions and Cloud Storage

Your physical ViewBoard interactive displays and myViewBoard^® whiteboarding software function as a connected system. Managing your cloud environment now prevents access issues when teachers begin developing curriculum, creating lessons and collaborating on classroom activities.

Confirm myViewBoard Access

• Verify that your school or district has active myViewBoard access. Entity accounts receive free access and do not require renewal.
• Confirm that all accounts are set up and accessible before teachers begin lesson planning for the new year.

Verify Staff Accounts

• Audit single sign-on access so returning and incoming staff have active myViewBoard accounts.
• Address account provisioning issues early while support response times are fastest.

Encourage Teachers to Back Up Their Lessons

• Instruct teachers to back up important lessons and instructional materials to myViewBoard cloud storage.
• Protect localized data from deletion during summer system resets or hardware replacements.

Device Lifecycle Planning:
Putting This Year’s Data to Work

The post-semester break is the ideal time to audit your hardware using ViewSonic Manager utilization reports.

By providing clear performance metrics on screen times, app usage and system uptime, this data helps you pinpoint underutilized displays and catch failing hardware early.

Use these insights to build a proactive, budget-conscious replacement strategy, and review them with your ViewSonic representative.

Setting Up the Next School Year

Decisions made now determine how smoothly your next deployment begins.

Target Professional Development

Audit support tickets to identify which teachers struggled with interactive display features this year. Use these insights to coordinate targeted training sessions with the ViewSonic Professional Development team instead of generic onboarding programs.

Planning a district refresh? The ViewBoard^® IFP41 series of interactive displays offers a Split Screen function that educators can’t get enough of. With Split Screen, teachers can show two sources at once. That means less time navigating between tabs and more time actually teaching.

Teaching requires juggling a dozen tasks at once while trying to keep 30 kids focused. This tool makes the ViewBoard a great SMART Board or Promethean alternative. It works the exact way a teacher thinks.

What Makes Split Screen a Game Changer?

With EDLA-certification, the ViewBoard IFP41 series of interactive displays seamlessly integrates with Google Apps to make multitasking easy. You can finally run two powerful applications side by side to keep your lessons flowing perfectly. It’s exactly what you want out of a classroom interactive display.

Brilliant Ways to Use Split Screen in Your Classroom

How are educators using this feature? Here are a few amazing ways this feature is being used in the classroom right now.

Content and Annotation

Can I write on my slides during a lesson? Yes! You can easily split your screen to show your Google Slides on one side with myViewBoard^® software open on the other. This is the best interactive display for teachers who want to annotate and mark up their lessons in real time.

Real-Time Translation

How does split screen help English Language Learners? Using a ViewBoard IFP41 display with a built-in microphone, you can put your presentation slides side by side with Google Translate. This setup lets you translate your teaching into different languages in real time. That’s a massive help for English Language Learners.

Modeling and Research

Can I show my students how to take proper notes? The split screen setup is great for modeling how to read text and take notes. You can actively research a topic on one side and pull key ideas onto the digital whiteboard on the other. For example, nearly every teacher does some variation of opening Google Earth. If you live on a peninsula, you can pull up the map on the left side. Then you can use “peninsula” and “bay” as vocabulary words that you write on myViewBoard next to the image.

Visualizers and Wireless Tech

Does this work with document cameras and screen casting? Absolutely. You can use your visualizer on one side and have your slides or a web page open on the other. This is perfect for teachers who still rely on doc cams. You also have the amazing ability to cast screens with AirSync on one side while keeping your document or web page open on the other.

Preschool Engagement

Is this good for younger students? This tool works brilliantly for our youngest learners too. You can use a PDF with colorful shapes on one side and have the kids create those exact shapes on the other. It’s a really fun and interactive way of modeling for them.

Ready to Transform Your Classroom?

Are you looking for the perfect district refresh? The split screen feature eliminates technical confusion so you can focus on what you do best. It bridges the gap between complicated hardware and actual teaching needs.

Every laptop or phone you purchase has a built-in microphone. Even your car probably has one! We rely on these tools for a variety of everyday tasks. They help us record audio and seamlessly dictate text. Best of all, they prevent the need to purchase bulky external hardware.

So why should your classroom technology be any different? When searching for the perfect interactive display for schools, audio should not be an afterthought. At ViewSonic, we spend a lot of time listening to educators. We know that managing extra cables and external tech is a massive headache. That’s exactly why we built high-quality microphone arrays directly into our ViewBoard^® IFP41 series of interactive displays.

What Is an 8-Array Beamforming Microphone?

ViewBoard IFP41 displays feature a powerful 8-array beamforming mic. Think of a traditional microphone like a flashlight. It usually only picks up sound from one specific direction.

The microphones on our interactive displays are much smarter than that. It uses eight microphones working together to listen to multiple directions. The system then automatically filters out annoying background noises like loud HVAC units or quiet classroom chatter.

Some competitors expect you to buy expensive external mic pods. Others force you to settle for low-quality audio. A standard mic might just hear the teacher. Our display hears the whole room

How Can Built-In Microphones Transform Your Classroom?

Having a powerful microphone changes the game for daily instruction. Here are a few brilliant ways you can use this technology right now.

Can I Record My Lessons Easily?

Yes, lesson recording is seamless. If you are running a Windows device with our myViewBoard® software, you can easily share your screen and record your entire lesson. It’s the absolute easiest way to create flipped classroom content. It’s also a fantastic tool to catch up students who were out sick.

How Does Audio Help ESL Students?

Integrated mics unlock real-time translation. For classes with English Language Learners, tools like Google Translate are a lifesaver. With the integrated mics on the IFP41, you can use the voice feature in real time. A teacher can speak directions at the board. A student can speak right from their desk. The ViewBoard microphone easily picks up both voices to provide instant translations.

Is There a Way to Type Faster?

Use your voice to dictate text. Typing long directions on a large screen takes too much time. It’s especially tough when you have 20 students waiting for a moment to get distracted. The myViewBoard software offers seamless speech to text. You simply dictate your directions and they instantly show up as text on the ViewBoard screen.

Can I Use AI With My Voice?

You can talk directly to your favorite AI tools. The IFP41 is fully EDLA Certified. This means you have instant access to any app on the Google Play store. You can easily pull up your favorite LLM like Gemini or ChatGPT right on the board. Instead of typing out complex prompts, use the microphone to ask questions or generate lesson ideas. It feels incredibly natural. It’s just like having a teaching assistant standing right there with you.

What About Remote Learning and Class Discussions?

Capture every voice in the room. A built-in microphone bridges the gap between in-person and remote students. You can hop into a virtual meeting and every single participant can hear each other clearly. This ensures everyone learns from different perspectives.

You can also record student discussions directly into a document. Instead of taking frantic notes, let the board do the heavy lifting. It’s a great way to gather evidence of student learning and keep a reliable record of class participation.

Ready to Upgrade Your Classroom Technology?

Why settle for complicated audio setups? You shouldn’t have to purchase additional mics and messy cables to do basic things like recording a lesson. The ViewSonic ViewBoard IFP41 series gives you everything you need right out of the box. It makes your teaching better and your life a little easier.

Projectors vs dvLED. It’s a big decision for any modern campus. The type of display you pick affects how teachers teach, how students learn, and how your budget looks a few years down the road.

You might be wondering if you should stick with the traditional projector or make the leap to something newer. Let’s break down the differences so you can make the best choice for your school.

Understanding the Tech

Projectors use a light source to throw an image onto a separate screen or wall. They have been the standard in classrooms and lecture halls for decades.

dvLED (Direct View LED) displays are made of LED panels that show images directly on the screen, so there is no projection involved. They are super bright and seamless. You can get them as simple, pre-configured All-in-One video walls that come in standard sizes, or as configurable solutions that you can build to fit a specific shape or wall.

Key Considerations for Schools

When you are weighing projectors vs dvLED, here are the main things you need to think about.

Image Quality and Brightness

Projectors can produce big images, but they often struggle in bright rooms. If you have big windows, you usually have to dim the lights to see the screen clearly.

dvLED offers ultra-bright, vivid images that look great even in sunny rooms. The colors stay sharp, and you do not have to worry about shadows or glare.

Size and Scalability

Projectors are easy to scale up by using bigger screens. However, the image quality can drop as the size increases.

dvLED can be built to fit massive spaces. ViewSonic offers standard All-in-One sizes ranging from 136" all the way up to 231". Need something even bigger? Our configurable options allow you to build a custom video wall larger than 231" to fit huge auditoriums or gymnasiums.

Installation and Space

Projectors require a specific setup to work best. You usually need to install both a mount for the projector and a separate screen on the wall. You also need to account for the space between the lens and the screen, which can lead to shadows if someone walks in front of the light.

dvLED displays mount directly to the wall, which saves space and creates a streamlined look. However, they have their own requirements. The wall needs to be perfectly flat and structurally ready to support the panels. While dvLED eliminates the shadow problem, ensuring your wall is prepped correctly is a key part of the installation.

Maintenance and Cost

Let's talk numbers. Projectors usually look cheaper upfront. But have you really crunched the numbers on maintenance? When you add up the cost of replacement bulbs, filters, and the labor to swap them out over a few years, the price tag jumps up fast.

On the flip side, dvLED displays like the ViewSonic LDE Series are built for the long haul. They offer 24/7 reliability and easy-to-swap panels. Here is the kicker: the cost of an LDE video wall often rivals what you would spend on a high-end projector and a professional tab-tension screen. You get a superior picture for a similar price, without the ongoing maintenance headaches.

The Breakdown: Pros and Cons

Here is a quick look at how the two stack up.

When to Stick with Projectors

Projectors still have a place on campus. They are often the right choice for:

• Tight Budgets: If you need a simple solution for a standard classroom.
• Controlled Lighting: Spaces where you can easily dim the lights.
• Small Meeting Rooms: Where you do not need a massive video wall. You can also look into ViewBoard interactive displays for these settings.

When to Upgrade to dvLED

If you want to make an impact, dvLED is the way to go. ViewSonic has a specific series for every need.

• For the Auditorium: If you need a screen that moves, the LDS Series is a foldable 138" display on wheels. You can roll it out for assemblies and set it up in minutes.
• For Lobbies and Student Centers: The LDM Series is perfect here. It has Glue-on-Board (GOB) technology, so it is durable enough to handle high-traffic areas.
• For Premium Learning: The LDP Series offers stunning 4K visuals. It uses Chip-on-Board (COB) technology for extra protection against impact and dust.
• For Creative Spaces: If you want a unique shape or size, the LDC Series is configurable. It lets you build a screen that fits your specific design.
• For General Use: The LDE Series is your cost-effective workhorse. It gives you that seamless video wall experience with integrated power and processing.

Questions to Ask Before You Buy

Still on the fence? Ask yourself these four questions.

1. What is the use case? Are you teaching, hosting events, or showing digital signage?
2. What is the lighting like? Is the room full of windows or tucked away in a basement?
3. What is the real budget? Don't just look at the price tag. Think about installation and maintenance costs over five years.
4. How will it integrate? ViewSonic displays work with systems you likely already use, like Crestron, Extron, and AMX.

You'll see these displays popping up in lecture halls, gyms, and libraries where standard projectors just can't keep up.

Why Mobility Makes a Difference 

Imagine having a giant 138" screen that you can simply roll into an elevator. A digital video wall that moves is a total game-changer for schools.

Here's why mobility matters:

• Perfect for multi-purpose spaces: You don't need to bolt a screen to the wall in a room that serves multiple functions. The display is there when you need it and gone when you don't.
• No permanent installation: You can skip the construction entirely. Since you don't need a permanent install, you save time and avoid drilling into your walls.
• Save money: Since one mobile video wall serves many spaces, it lowers your total cost of ownership.
• Better access: It's not locked away in a single lecture hall, so more teachers and departments can use it.
• Event-ready: It's perfect for assemblies, guest speakers, or school spirit events.
• Easy setup: You can skip the complex install—just roll it in, plug it in, and you're ready to wow your audience.

Where to Use Mobile Video Walls 

Mobile dvLED video walls are perfect for schools that need flexibility. They work great in a lot of different spots on campus.

Lecture Halls 

You can move the display between large lecture spaces. It's perfect for presentations or guest speakers. The screen is big enough that everyone in the back row can still see clearly.

Auditoriums and Gymnasiums 

These are busy areas, so you need a screen that can handle the action. ViewSonic displays use Glue-on-Board (GOB) technology. This protects the LEDs from daily wear and tear, like bumps, dust, and moisture. It ensures your screen stays safe during pep rallies or performances.

Multi-Purpose Spaces

Schools are full of rooms that do double duty. Maybe it's a cafeteria that hosts town halls, or a library atrium used for special events. You can't always mount a permanent screen in these spots. A mobile video wall allows you to transform any open space into a presentation venue instantly. It rolls in, sets up fast, and is big enough for the whole crowd to see.

Key Features of ViewSonic Mobile Solutions 

ViewSonic is leading the way with mobile dvLED displays. Here are a few features that make them stand out.

Plug-and-Play Mobility 

These displays are designed to move. They come with a motorized stand and a durable flight case for easy transport. The flight case stores and protects the display when not in use. The foldable design even fits into most elevators. You simply roll it to the next location.

All-in-One Design 

You don't need extra boxes or wires. The system has built-in media players and a smart control bar built right into the stand. It keeps things clean and simple so there's nothing to distract from the huge screen.

Easy Screen Sharing 

Teachers and students need to connect quickly. With ViewSonic AirSync software, you can share your screen wirelessly from any device. It works with tools you already use, like AirPlay and Google Cast, so there's no hassle.

Smart Integration 

The display plays nice with other tech. It works with control platforms like Crestron, Extron, and AMX. This makes it easy for your IT team to manage power and inputs from one central spot.

Mobile dvLED vs. Traditional Projectors 

Wondering how a mobile dvLED display stacks up against your old projector? Let's look at the differences.
