A hall of fame slideshow that plays from your Rocket site
Your hall of fame inductees already have photos and stories on your Rocket recognition site. Play that folder on a hallway or lobby screen, and the people who built your school’s history get seen by students who walk past every day.

Why it matters
Inductees are honored once, then hidden
Induction night is a big event, and then the plaques go up in a hallway few people visit. Students rarely learn who the inductees are or why they matter. The stories exist but aren’t in front of anyone.
Ideas for Hall of Fame Slideshow
This year’s inductee class
Lead with the newest inductees in the weeks before and after induction night.
Inductees by decade
Feature a different era each month to show how far back your school’s history goes.
Induction ceremony details
Promote the date, time and ticket details for the ceremony on lobby screens.
Teachers, artists and leaders
If your hall of fame includes more than athletes, give those inductees equal screen time.
Record holders
Pair the slideshow with a team’s records folder so current athletes see the marks to beat.
A pointer to the full archive
Add a slide that tells visitors where to explore the whole hall of fame, such as the lobby touchscreen or your website.
How it works with Digital Signage
Hall of Fame Slideshow, step by step.
Three steps
Choose the folder to play
Pick a folder from your Rocket site, such as this year’s inductees, and add it to the screen’s timeline.
Let it play as it is
The folder plays with its photos and descriptions, so there’s nothing to rebuild for the screen.
Rotate classes through the year
Swap in a different folder each month, or hide one until the next induction season comes around.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.
Best practices
Tips to get it right.
Hall of Fame Slideshow tips
Keep each story short
A screen gets a few seconds of attention. One or two sentences per inductee reads best.
Use the best photo you have
Ask families for a better photo when an inductee’s only image is a grainy yearbook scan.
Mix in current students
Balance the slideshow with today’s achievements so the screen feels current, not only historical.
Know when to use the touchscreen
Signage is for people passing by. If you want visitors to search and explore, that’s History Showcase.

Questions
Hall of Fame Slideshow questions
If your hall of fame is on a Rocket site, add an inductee folder to a screen’s timeline and it plays with photos and descriptions. If it isn’t yet, your demo covers History Showcase and how Data Entry & Project Management can help prepare the content.
The slideshow is for people walking past a screen. History Showcase is the interactive experience where visitors choose profiles, records and archives to explore, on campus and on the web.
The screen plays a folder from your Rocket site, so that folder stays the one place you update. Your demo confirms how new inductees reach the screen once they’re added.
The price depends on how many screens you want the slideshow on and how they’re set up, so it’s quoted for your school. If you already have a Rocket recognition site, your demo shows how its folders play on signage.
