LG
Business Solutions unveiled its newest product, CreateBoard, along
with other ed tech, and announced expanded training programs through
its LG Academy at the 2023 Future of Education Technology Conference
(FETC) in New Orleans. The academy includes a new course on using the
CreateBoard, which will be followed by more comprehensive courses.
The
CreateBoard comes in four sizes, with the new 55-inch model added to
the lineup of 65-, 75-, and 86-inch models. The new model CreateBoard
is an “up-to 40-point multi-touch interactive display that enables
live annotations of digital files and provides tools for content
creation, sharing and management,” the company said in a release.
The 55-inch model is geared for smaller classrooms and allows
students to see the board wherever they are sitting.
Two
software programs accompany the board. The LG CreateBoard Lab creates
content, imports documents, builds lessons, and includes subject
templates that allow collaboration and access to online information
and interactive lessons. The wireless LG CreateBoard Share connects
student devices to the board, free of software updates or
installations. Multiple wireless connections also allow students to
stream to different boards. Document cameras, microphones,
conferencing cameras, and other peripherals can be added to expand
the board’s capabilities.
Schools
can sign up for the free LG ConnectedCare DMS (device management
service). This will access a school’s or district’s CreateBoard
system to make announcements, share reminders for fire/lockdown
drills, shut down specific boards, and make firmware updates across
the entire network.

need,” said Victoria Sanville, education account lead at LG
Business Solutions USA. “Our range of projectors, laptops, displays
and all-in-one solutions make it possible for any size room to be
utilized for instruction, showing how LG is developing new solutions
to untether the teacher and diversify the learning environment
options for students.”
