Unlocking Classroom Potential: Jennifer’s Journey With DisplayNote 

Customer StoryEducationMontage

In Saint Paul Minnesota, Christ’s Household of Faith school is a private institution serving students from pre-kindergarten through to 12th grade. They pride themselves on providing personalized educational experiences, designed to support students of all levels of learning. 

For Jennifer Okerstrom, a teacher at Christ’s Household of Faith, fostering a supportive and productive learning environment is at the heart of her teaching. She understands that every student thrives best when they feel secure, engaged, and equipped to focus. This philosophy extends to her belief that educators need reliable tools and resources, not just to deliver lessons effectively, but to address the unique needs of each student, ensuring no one is left behind. 

However, Jennifer encountered a significant obstacle: outdated or unreliable methods of sharing content and materials. These inefficiencies disrupted the flow of her lessons and made it harder for students to stay focused on their studies. For some, this translated into frustration and waning confidence, creating a ripple effect on the classroom dynamic. Jennifer knew that to truly support her students and help them achieve their potential, she needed a solution that would streamline classroom interactions and enhance accessibility for everyone involved. 

Life After DisplayNote

Each classroom at Christ’s Household of Faith is equipped with an interactive panel featuring DisplayNote Screen Sharing, designed to make content sharing seamless for teachers throughout the day. For Jennifer, this technology has revolutionized not only how she delivers lesson content but also how she engages with her students in the classroom. 

Jennifer explains,

“DisplayNote allows me to share from my desk or anywhere in the room, rather than needing to be up at the board”

This freedom of movement is crucial for Jennifer. It enables her to provide undivided attention to her students, engaging with them directly and supporting their learning without the interruptions caused by unreliable technology. 

DisplayNote Screen Sharing also aligns with Jennifer’s goals of fostering student collaboration and encouraging classroom presentations. With simple and accessible joining instructions, students can share their ideas, answers, and creations with the class, all while Jennifer maintains control of the session. 


Jennifer adds,

“Using DisplayNote not only allows me to share my screen but also invites students to showcase their digital projects or online responses with the entire class”


This blend of flexibility and interactivity has empowered Jennifer’s teaching approach, creating a more inclusive and dynamic learning environment for her students. 

Jennifer’s message to educators

For Jennifer, the ability to move freely around the classroom is more than a convenience—it’s a vital component of effective teaching. She believes that being untethered from the front of the room allows educators to connect with their students on a deeper level, creating an environment of engagement, support, and collaboration. 


She emphasizes,

“It is important for teachers to have the freedom to move around the room while maintaining control over the display students are focusing on,”

This freedom not only boosts the confidence of educators but also enhances the learning experience for students. When teachers aren’t preoccupied with managing technology, they can dedicate their full attention to creating meaningful interactions and addressing the individual needs of their students. 

Jennifer’s advice to fellow educators is simple but profound: embrace tools that empower you to teach with confidence and flexibility. By integrating reliable, user-friendly solutions like DisplayNote Screen Sharing, educators can reclaim their focus on what truly matters—building a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where students thrive. 

This philosophy has transformed Jennifer’s classroom, and she hopes it inspires others to seek out technologies that support their goals, enabling both teachers and students to excel.
