Why Roombr’s Smart Board Pen Is a Game-Changer for Digital Classrooms

‍

You’ve likely seen it before—a bulky smart panel mounted to the wall, expensive to install, tricky to maintain, and often underused. But what if we told you that the same interactivity can now be achieved using a simple pen and a projector?   

Roombr’s smart board pen is changing how classrooms in India experience digital learning. Designed for real Indian classrooms, from rural schools to higher education auditoriums, this innovation simplifies interactive board usage without compromising on features.

Let’s explore why educators and institutional heads are quickly making the switch.

What Is Roombr’s Smart Board Pen?

Roombr’s smart board pen is an IR (infrared) pen that turns any flat surface—such as a whiteboard or plain wall—into an interactive digital board. When paired with Roombr’s all-in-one digital classroom hardware, it enables teachers to write, draw, annotate, and interact with content just like they would on a touch screen.

There’s no need for bulky touch panels or complex installation. You get the full functionality of a smart board at a more affordable cost.

What makes this even more practical is the inclusion of a dedicated IR pen charging cable, ensuring that the pen remains ready for use throughout long school hours. With just one kit, a teacher can walk into any classroom and start teaching interactively—no additional setup needed.

Key Features of Smart Board Pen that Educators Love

Educators often face challenges with new tech—complex interfaces, rigid hardware, or tools that simply don’t work well in real-world classrooms. Roombr’s IR pen was built to solve exactly that.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

1. Interactive Precision

The IR smart board pen offers high accuracy, allowing educators to write smoothly on a projected display without any lag. Whether solving equations or underlining a sentence, the response is immediate.

2. Wireless & Rechargeable

Roombr’s pen is fully rechargeable via a lightweight USB charging cable. There’s no reliance on AA batteries. One full charge comfortably lasts an entire school day.

3. Easy Plug-and-Play Setup

There’s no drilling, no wall mounting. All it needs is a projector and a projection surface. The pen integrates seamlessly with Roombr’s hardware and instantly activates the interactive layer.

4. Durable and Classroom-Ready

It’s designed keeping Indian schools in mind. The pen can handle daily wear, rough handling and still perform like new. For teachers who move between classes, it’s lightweight and easy to carry.

5. Any Surface, Any Classroom

From painted walls to whiteboards or pull-down screens, Roombr’s digital board pen works on almost any projection surface. This flexibility eliminates infrastructure constraints for schools and colleges.

For institutions looking to scale digital classrooms without replacing existing infrastructure, this becomes a strategic win.

Smarter Than Traditional Smart Boards

Let’s compare.

Traditional Smart Board Setup:

• Heavy, wall-mounted flat panel
• Requires professional installation
• Costly replacement and maintenance
• Locked to one classroom

Roombr Smart Board Pen Setup:

• Just Roombr’s all-in-one hardware (includes IR pen)
• One-time setup, no mounting needed
• Low maintenance and cost-effective
• Portable across multiple classrooms

Decision-makers in K-12 and higher education are starting to rethink smart board investments. Why invest lakhs per panel when you can transform any wall into a digital board for teaching using a pen that fits in your pocket?   

Why Educators Are Making the Switch

India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 encourages experiential, tech-enabled learning. But most smart classroom tools don’t scale well in our context—limited budgets, changing class sizes, rural infrastructure, and teacher readiness.

Roombr’s IR pen addresses these pain points:

• Ease of Use: Teachers don’t need training. If they can use a marker, they can use the IR pen.
• Speed of Adoption: Setup takes minutes, not days.
• Affordability at Scale: One hardware and pen can serve multiple classrooms across periods.
• No Learning Curve: Teachers use it like a whiteboard, but with the power of a digital interface—interactive slides, live annotations, subject-specific tools, and more.
