Quiet signals that keep learning on track
Teachers and students work best in a calm room. Classroom alerts that are silent and visual give administrators a way to share timely information without interrupting instruction. This is where education technology shines. Instead of a loud intercom or a knock on the door, a quick message appears on the display, class continues, and everyone stays focused.
What ScreenBeam Message Manager does
Message Manager delivers non disruptive, on screen notices to any connected classroom display. Staff can send a short update or a longer message across selected rooms or the entire campus. Because the tool is browser based and mobile friendly, front office teams can help teachers in real time, even during passing time or a lesson.
Flexible formats for any situation
- Ticker: A small scrolling banner that shares reminders while instruction continues.
- Half screen overlay: Larger text that is easy to read from the back row.
- Full screen message: Clear direction for moments when attention is required.
- Image option: Post a JPEG for visual cues such as maps or event graphics.
Supports real time feedback and intervention
- Quick nudges: Encourage participation, clarify expectations, or ask a class to prepare for dismissal.
- Scheduling: Time alerts to land between periods or at natural breaks, which protects classroom safety and focus.
- Targeting: Choose a single room, a building, or the whole district for precise delivery.
- Documentation: Keep a record of what was sent and when for accountability and follow up.
Everyday use cases administrators love
- Bell schedule changes and weather delay notices.
- Counselor or nurse appointment reminders.
- Drill practice and campus wide safety reminders.
- Celebration notes that boost morale and participation.
Why teachers trust the experience
- Non disruptive by design: Alerts appear on the screen and the lesson continues.
- No new logins for teachers: Admins operate the system, which lets teachers focus on instruction.
- Works with existing displays: Add smart messaging to the screens schools already own.
Why IT and communications approve
- Centralized control: A single, browser based dashboard manages messages to any ScreenBeam equipped room.
- Fast to learn: Simple tools reduce training time for busy staff.
- Fits the stack: App free connections support a wide range of devices common in education technology environments.
Setup basics
Getting started is straightforward. Connect ScreenBeam to the classroom display, confirm network access, and designate who can send messages. Create a short list of approved templates that cover routine needs such as bell changes, counselor calls, and drill reminders. Define building, grade, or classroom groups to speed targeting. Add digital signage outside common areas to extend reach during arrival and dismissal.
What success looks like
- Fewer interruptions that pull attention away from learning.
- Faster, clearer communication between the front office and classrooms.
- Consistent language and timing for routine notices.
- A stronger sense of classroom safety and calm across the day.
Part of a broader platform
Message Manager is part of ScreenBeam’s platform approach. It works alongside wireless display, annotation and whiteboarding, and Orchestrate classroom management. That means one solution strengthens teaching, communication and moderation, which helps leaders get more value from their education technology investment.
Getting started in three steps
- Identify the most common messages you send today and convert them into short, clear templates.
- Map target groups such as grade bands, buildings, and specific rooms.
- Pilot with a small set of classrooms, gather feedback, and expand across the campus.
