Turn any lesson into an interactive win with EZWrite on the BenQ Board. Use the Floating Tool to annotate slides and PDFs, then run a website or Google Drive, Maps, or Chrome beside your whiteboard in Split Screen for real engagement.

Host Madiha Shamsi teams up with Francisco Flores to demo how teachers make existing materials hands-on using the Floating Tool and Split Screen inside EZWrite on the BenQ Board. You’ll see quick annotation, highlight and cursor tools, erase options, plus screenshots and screen recording with audio on supported models. The toolbox adds timers, spinners, spotlight, and notes to pace and focus your class.
