Classroom messaging with Despatch
Instant messaging in schools and colleges is frequently locked-down to prevent misuse, but there remains a real need to communicate with teachers while classes are in progress. With the new Despatch messaging system from AMT Media, this needn’t be a problem. Without the need for any new hardware, the software allows a message to be shown instantly on any screen, display or monitor, including signage displays, projection screens and even interactive whiteboards. Despatch is ideal for
communicating general messages or urgent announcements. Typical
applications include announcements of room changes, assembly times, fire drills and even individual messages to specific individuals within a class. It can even send a “private message” where the information is sensitive.
The software is simple to install, operate and maintain and is fully scalable from just one or two rooms up to hundreds.
Price is dependent on license requirements, however, a typical system allowing messaging to up to twenty screens costs less than £600.
