Modern classrooms are evolving, and technology is leading the way. One powerful new classroom technology is the Samsung WAF Interactive Display, a state-of-the-art interactive whiteboard that helps engage students and bring lessons to life. Packed with intuitive features, the display offers a suite of classroom-enhancing tools. Use them to emphasize a key point, illustrate a complex process, lead a student brainstorming session — and have more fun.
Here are some of WAF Interactive Display’s top tools that take classrooms to the next level and how to use them.
Annotate and highlight using the Markup tool
The display’s most versatile feature is the Markup tool. Whether you’re breaking down a math equation, highlighting key points in a reading passage or analyzing a historical document, the Markup tool lets you draw, underline and annotate any onscreen content — even live video. To access the Markup tool:
- Open the sidebar menu and tap the Markup tool.
- Choose from a range of vibrant colors to make notes stand out.
- Write on the board with a stylus, just like you would with a marker on a whiteboard.
- Erase with a swipe of your palm, like you might on a physical whiteboard.
The real game changer? With this interactive whiteboard, you can save your annotations. Press the Markup button and then the green download icon, and instantly stash your notes for future use so students can review them later.

Keep lessons on track with a built-in timer
In a bustling classroom, teachers need to keep things moving — and students focused. Samsung WAF has a built-in timer that helps do both, whether running an experiment, leading a group discussion or giving a quiz. To use:
- Tap the timer icon in the sidebar menu to display the timer on the board, prominently or discreetly.
- Adjust the time based on an activity’s requirements.
- Press the play icon to start the timer.
This simple yet effective tool helps you transition smoothly from one activity to the next and promotes classroom structure and efficiency.
Capture and share lessons with onboard recording
Students inevitably miss class. Some may also need extra review time. When that happens, the recording function is a big assist. With a few simple taps, you can record a lesson, student presentation or classroom discussions and store them for later.
- Swipe down from the top of the board to pull up the menu.
- Press “Screen record Start” and toggle settings to record audio and screen touches.
- Save recordings directly onto the interactive board and tap “share” to send to a USB drive or cloud account.
Recording lessons helps valuable teaching continue after the school bell rings.
Use screen sharing to collaborate with up to nine devices
Collaboration is essential to learning, and Samsung WAF Interactive Display takes teamwork to new heights with advanced screen-sharing capabilities. In fact, it can connect with up to nine devices simultaneously, enabling small groups to collaborate in real time.
To access:
- Tap the “Screen Share” icon on the home screen.
- Follow prompts to mirror devices.
- Watch as the interactive board broadcasts.
Putting lessons literally in the hands of students helps them grasp concepts and learning points. Allowing them to share their screens with the board also ensures their voices are heard.
