Remember the school bulletin board? That cluttered corkboard filled with flyers, schedules, announcements and student artwork was once the pulse of school communication. It was where students, teachers and staff connected with the daily rhythm of campus life. While these boards still hold a place in many schools, the spirit of school communication has found new energy with TSN Visual Communication Solutions. It reimagines the traditional bulletin board with vibrant digital displays. More than just announcements, each screen becomes a vivid canvas, telling stories reinforcing positive community values that all schools and parents strive for. It also invites active participation between students and staff. “We believe that a better-informed and engaged student is a better citizen, and that begins with empowering young minds in elementary, middle and high schools,” says Michael Broyles, founder and CEO. “Our platform fosters that connection and engagement, helping schools build a positive culture where students are better informed and actively involved in meaningful ways. We do this in a dynamic way that is familiar to students.” Technology has moved beyond slides and presentations; students expect and deserve more. These older approaches and technologies still serve their purposes—as integrated features. But they no longer work as complete standalone solutions. An elementary school principal witnessed this firsthand during a reading challenge. Initially, student participation was low. However, the event quickly gained momentum after using TSN’s platform to feature pictures of students who met their reading goals. The moment the first student saw her photo on the school’s digital screens with a congratulatory message, excitement spread. Other students soon hit their goals, eager to see their faces on the screen. What started as an individual challenge evolved into a school-wide success with increased parent involvement. This brings student participation and success to the forefront and makes that the foundation for a positive and uplifting school culture. This is what TSN does, and what makes it stand out among other educational visual communication solutions. By celebrating students and their accomplishments, it helps schools shape a narrative that reflects their values, fostering pride and participation. Communication that Reaches Every Corner of the School Community TSN’s platform empowers schools to tailor content that resonates with their diverse communication needs and audiences—students, staff and parents alike. Its pre-created content libraries addressing various topics enable schools to quickly deliver materials based on grade level. For instance, while high-schoolers might engage with an anti-bullying video, the appropriate message for elementary students might be an image of animated characters holding hands with the message, ‘Be a Friend.’ Bringing this flexibility allows schools to craft messages that resonate with every student. The platform also accommodates the complex communication needs of K-12 schools based on the location within the campus. The system is built with multiple layers to achieve this, offering sets of ‘connections’ that focus content delivery on specific areas. These connections include Campus Connect for hallways and common areas, Classroom Connect for interactive classroom panels, Athletic Connect for sports facilities and Cafeteria Connect for menu boards. A modular platform design ensures each department benefits from relevant messaging and avoids overlap with specific tools and features designed for the specific use case, user base and audience type of each connection.
