What to show on digital signs in educational institutions
It's important to understand that digital signage is more than just commercial displays.All educational institutions can benefit from digital signage regardless of whether it is kindergartens, colleges or universities.
Energy is high in children and adolescents. And it's hard to get their attention more than a very short time. But something that can catch the attention is digital signs. They are fun and the young people are used to screens and have the attitude that what goes on on the screens is entertaining.
Although the reason why digital signage should be used is quite clear, and even though digital screens get 400% more views, and improve the absorption of information for young people by over 50%, it is still a rare sight that educational institutions use screens and digital signs in schools.But, fortunately, this is turning around.
But now that we have established the importance of digital signs, what content should we display on them to young people?
There is a myriad of information that can be provided on these signs and screens. Both to the students, but also to the teachers and possibly parents who may enter the school areas. To get some inspiration, we have made an overview of what can be displayed on digital signage screens.
Ideas for using screens in educational institutions
WELCOME SIGNS
Welcome signs can advantageously be placed both in front of the schools and inside the schools. They make students feel at home the second they walk through the door and we all know that belonging is one of the most important things to achieve success in the development of children and young people.
Visual teaching aids
About 65% of all people are visual.As a result, most students tend to absorb and remember information for longer periods of time when communicating it visually. In individual classrooms, digital signs can be used to show pictures, diagrams, videos and more to the students in the class. It is both more inviting for students to look at and it is easier for teachers to present the material. It saves both time and resources that the same information does not have to be written on the boards over and over again, but simply called up on the desired screens, but the main advantage of integrating digital screens into the teaching process is the advantage of audiovisual tools.When ears are involved, a child will understand the teaching much better and especially among students in primary school, images can contribute significantly to the student's cognitive development. Shapes, colours and nursery rhymes on classroom screens effectively promote visual learning among schoolchildren, which in itself is reason enough to use digital aids in teaching.

Some students are not quite determined about what the next step should be on the career path. Many students haven't even come close to a decision. With digital signs with study tips and information about students' opportunities, we can help students on their way.
GROUPS AND CLUBS
Digital posters can let students know what is available to them in relation to sports clubs, knowledge sharing/interest groups and other extracurricular activities.
REMINDERS
With digital posters, it's easy to make it difficult. Among other things, it is easy to make it difficult for students to forget that the important assignment must be handed in on Thursday. Or for parents and students to forget other important deadlines, which is an advantage for both elves, parents and not least the schools.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
Book recommendations, especially recommendations from other students, are valuable to students. What books should I read? Which ones should I buy? Which ones can I just borrow from the library or from a fellow student? These are questions that many students in higher education are interested in getting answers to. Because books are expensive and valuable tips about which books you only need very briefly can save students a lot of money.
BULLETIN BOARDS
Digital displays quickly replace paper bulletin boards.It is fast and efficient and does not require much manual control.School and university administrations can update any information instantly with cloud software.You can put multiple messages on a single screen, and digital bulletin boards are eminent for event calendars, uni meetings, holiday lists, teaching schedules (changes/cancellations), etc.
EVENTS
Remind parents and students of upcoming activities so they don't miss out on the fun and so that the school gets as many visitors to the events as possible.
SPORTING EVENTS
Should one school play a team match against the other school. Or if it's going to be really fun, should the students play a team battle against the teachers? Digital posters can be used to inform about the date, time and place, and subsequently show the exciting results of the matches.

With digital signage products, schools can steadily and safely teach students about safe internet use and how to behave in the digital society. Small tips and reminders here and there, repeated over and over again, can make the big difference when young people are in a situation where good advice and common sense are valuable.
DIGITAL
SIGNAGE is the most effective way to communicate safety notifications to students and staff in the shortest possible time. And digital posters can also be used for fire safety information, safety guidelines and the like.

not fun to feel foreign in your surroundings. With digital signs, the school can help students find their way around the school.
