Digital signs are an exciting and technologically-oriented way for schools and colleges to display important school information and provide communication points throughout the institution.
Digital signs are an exciting and technologically-oriented way for schools to display important information using existing televisions and to distribute daily announcements throughout the school. The digital signs can provide constant updates and reminders of daily announcements using text, photos and video.
Designed to supplement traditional communications, such as daily announcements and poster boards, the digital signs are timely and efficient. They can also reduce or replace posters. Because digital signage is always available, students can check back throughout the day for the latest time and location information. Digital signs can be placed in dining areas, lounges, hallways – anywhere students gather. The StrandVision digital signage system can send different messages to different locations and at different times of the day. For instance, a separate feed can be sent to teacher and/or administrator break rooms with messages targeted to administrative matters.
