Background For decades, public schools in the city of Taguig have relied on traditional classroom setups with blackboards and static visual aids, which are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of students and teachers today. The Taguig Local Government Unit (LGU) launched the Taguig DigiTech Program to modernize classrooms across the city. Under the leadership of Mayor Lani Cayetano and the Taguig Technical Working Group (TWG), it aims to replace outdated education technology and create digital learning environments that are more interactive. Six public schools were chosen to pilot this initiative, with ViewSonic’s technology driving the transformation. Challenge In crowded classrooms with 45 to 55 students, conventional instruction methods present barriers to teaching and learning. Students sitting in the back rows often struggle to see the board clearly due to physical distance and glare from the windows. They are also less engaged in lessons, which lack multimedia and meaningful opportunities to interact. For teachers, manually writing and erasing content on the board detract from time dedicated to teaching, ultimately slowing down the pace of each class. It is also physically exhausting and makes it harder to keep students interested in learning. Taguig’s public schools needed a classroom setup that would allow all students to see and take interest in educational content while equipping teachers with the tools and skills to make that content more interactive. At the same time, the solution would need to simple enough for IT to deploy and manage across the entire campus. Solution To systematically address visual limitations and modernize classroom engagement, 406 ViewBoard IFP6551 interactive touchscreen displays were deployed across 6 schools through the pilot of the Taguig DigiTech Program. Featuring 4K Ultra HD resolution and anti-glare screens, these cutting-edge displays deliver exceptionally bright, sharp visuals, ensuring that even students seated in the farthest rows can clearly view lesson materials such as diagrams, text, and multimedia. The displays are supported by a robust software ecosystem designed to maximize classroom and administrative efficiency: myViewBoard offers an interactive digital canvas designed specifically for modern educators. It allows teachers to easily import existing PDF, PowerPoint, and Google Slides lessons and use built-in tools like protractors, math formulas, and periodic tables to annotate files. A safe search tool enables dragging and dropping multimedia content to design games, quizzes, puzzles, and more, turning passive lessons into active, collaborative experiences. AirSync enables secure, wireless casting to the board from any device in seconds, allowing teachers to share or edit materials on screen more conveniently. With multi-device split-screen support, they can even invite students to present content simultaneously. ViewSonic Manager gives IT administrators a way to remotely monitor, update, and control classroom displays across campus as needed, without needing to interrupt lessons or travel door to door. It also allows for instant broadcasting of important announcements. Result Since the deployment of the ViewBoard IFP6551 interactive displays across the six pilot schools, classroom dynamics have shifted significantly. Teachers report over a 40% increase in active student participation during board-centered group activities. The highly visual, immersive nature of myViewBoard has enriched lessons and encouraged hands-on collaboration from every corner of the room. The solution has also proven easy to manage by school IT thanks to the ViewSonic Manager software. Other key benefits have included: Maximized Instructional Time: By moving past physical paper layouts and messy blackboards, daily lesson setup is now faster, allowing educators to dedicate more time to active, direct instruction. Enhanced Inclusivity: The high-resolution screens ensure that complex diagrams, texts, and multimedia are visible and legible to all students, including those seated in the furthest rows. Model Smart Classrooms: The success of the upgraded classroom setups has established these pilot schools as models for other institutions to follow. FAQ What ViewSonic solution did Taguig City use to modernize its public school classrooms? Taguig City deployed 406 ViewBoard IFP6551 interactive touchscreen displays across six pilot public schools as part of the Taguig DigiTech Program, supported by myViewBoard, AirSync, and ViewSonic Manager software. How does the ViewBoard IFP6551 help students in crowded classrooms see lesson content clearly? The IFP6551 features 4K Ultra HD resolution and anti-glare screens, delivering bright, sharp visuals so that students seated in the farthest rows can clearly view diagrams, text, and multimedia. What can teachers do with myViewBoard on the ViewBoard displays? myViewBoard lets teachers import existing PDF, PowerPoint, and Google Slides lessons, annotate with tools like protractors, math formulas, and periodic tables, and drag and drop multimedia content to build games, quizzes, and puzzles for more collaborative lessons. Can multiple devices share content on a ViewBoard display at once? Yes. AirSync enables secure, wireless casting from any device in seconds, and its multi-device split-screen support lets teachers invite students to present content on the board simultaneously. How does school IT manage ViewBoard displays across an entire campus? ViewSonic Manager allows IT administrators to remotely monitor, update, and control classroom displays campus-wide without interrupting lessons or visiting each classroom, and it supports instant broadcasting of announcements. What results did Taguig City schools see after deploying ViewBoard displays? Teachers reported over a 40% increase in active student participation during board-centered group activities, along with faster lesson setup, better visibility for students in every row, and easier device management for school IT.
