The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and Onestop Media Group (Onestop) have announced the launch of an official digital signage pilot project in four downtown high schools: Harbord Collegiate, Central Technical School, Central Commerce Collegiate and Haydon Park Secondary.

The TDSB network’s shows a large range of content segments – student news reports, safety and security information, announcement of events and student achievements, etc. – and also enables staff and students to upload user-generated content (videos, images and text).

Chris Bolton, Vice-Chair of the Board, says: "Today’s youth are tech savvy. This project engages them through their own media environment but also challenges them to be involved in their school and community. Learning has become more relevant using the technology and is reflective of their interests and those of their community, which also shares the benefits of this new communication piece in the Toronto District School Board."

The pilot will run for several months.
