Interactive large TV software recommendations

[pslater]

Hi all,

 

We have now bought an 84" interactive TV/screen and now need to find some 'educational' software to run on it. My current thought is to explore the new Google Earth content and also run our signage solution through another HDMI input when it's not needed to be interactive, but I was wondering if there was some great (preferably free) software I should know about to run on it.

 

Target student age: 11-14

location: half classroom, half utility space on the royal tour so needs to look good when parents are around.

 

Many thanks.

Forgive me for saying it - but surely the software need should have driven the purchase of the screen, not the other way around?

Absolutely. But purchasing decisions are sometimes take out of your hands or sprung upon you from higher up. Edited August 7, 2017 by pslater

Connect a Rasberry Pi to it and run Stellarium.

Does it have SMART or ActivInspire? (I hate it when "decisions" are made...without consultation....and then everyone is expected to support that decision)

It has a full Win 10 atom PC built in and we do use ActivInspire around the school, but we need more wow factor stuff rather than traditional classroom use.
