Samsung and DisplayNote have announced a new partnership focused on empowering the US education market, bringing DisplayNote’s Montage wireless screen sharing software to select Samsung Interactive Displays.
The collaboration is designed to help schools and districts improve the day-to-day classroom experience by reducing technology friction, improving lesson start-up and creating greater consistency across learning spaces.
With many classrooms making the switch to tech-based learning, educators can lose valuable lesson time connecting devices, switching presenters or resolving display issues. Experiences can vary from room to room, even within the same school, requiring IT teams to manage fragmented systems across multiple classrooms.
By embedding DisplayNote’s widely recognised classroom experience layer directly into Samsung Interactive Displays, the two companies aim to make lesson delivery simple to standardise and manage at scale. The integration provides teachers with expanded solution options that seamlessly fit within the natural flow of teaching.
Designed around how lessons actually run
DisplayNote Montage is built for shared teaching and learning spaces. The software enables teachers and students to share content quickly from a wide range of devices through native apps, browser-based access, AirPlay, Miracast and Google Cast.
The platform also supports cross-network connectivity, touchback control, moderator control, broadcasting and local connection options, helping classrooms run more predictably and with less disruption.
In practice, that means teachers can walk into a room, connect quickly and begin teaching without spending lesson time troubleshooting cables, settings or incompatible devices. It also enables schools to provide a more consistent experience from one classroom to the next, regardless of presenter or device type.
“As school leaders work to improve classroom engagement across a wide variety of hardware and software ecosystems, there is a growing need for technology that strengthens the connection between teachers and students. When these solutions are intuitive and prove a consistent workflow across diverse devices, it reduces time spent managing tools and allows more time for guided discussions and meaningful collaboration.
“Through the integration of DisplayNote with our Interactive Displays, we’re helping to build a single tool that facilitates more active learning into classrooms and better equips educators to support positive student outcomes,” said Dr Micah Shippee, Director of Education, Samsung Electronics America.
Supporting district-wide consistency
For school districts, a larger challenge is how to create a dependable and standardised experience across dozens, hundreds or even thousands of learning spaces. That is becoming increasingly important as district technology leaders face growing pressure to reduce lesson disruption, lower IT support overhead and ensure classroom tools can be deployed consistently across schools.
The Samsung and DisplayNote partnership addresses that need by helping education customers move towards a more integrated model: one in which classroom displays are easier to use, support and scale across entire school districts.
“By combining Samsung’s reach in education with DisplayNote’s software experience layer, we are helping schools create classrooms that simply work better, every day,” said Ed Morgan, CEO of DisplayNote.
A shared focus on better classroom outcomes
The partnership reflects a broader shift in education technology buying decisions. Schools and districts are increasingly evaluating solutions not only on hardware performance, but on usability, reliability and the quality of the day-to-day teaching experience.
For Samsung and DisplayNote, the shared focus is clear: classroom technology should be intuitive for teachers, dependable for schools and scalable for districts
