• W347650597 abstract "THERE WAS A TIME when being a teacher at Lenawee Intermediate School District (MI) meant getting in line--a long line--if you wished to get hold of audiovisual equipment for your class. Teachers had to reserve the equipment weeks in advance. Next, once the time came to use representatives from the district's A/V department had to quite literally schlep it all to the classroom themselves. When instructors were finished with they called the A/V guys to come on back and tear the equipment down. Depending on the setup a particular teacher required, the process could take hours. What's more, it was tedious work--the worst kind of obstacle in a high-pressure environment. Last year, the arrival of media carts changed the whole routine. Clustering certain equipment and placing it as a unit on a refrigerator-sized wheeled cart revolutionized Lenawee's A/V delivery system. Yes, teachers still have to reserve the media, and yes, A/V technicians still have to be the ones to transport it. But with laptops, projectors, document cameras, televisions, and VCRs affixed to movable carts, technicians simply wheel the equipment into a classroom, and everything a teacher needs is right there. Lucas Wilson, one of the district's technology support specialists, says the new system makes the entire A/V process more palatable and saves him and his colleagues tons of time. This isn't exactly emerging technology or cutting edge, but it brings a lot of different pieces of equipment together and provides easy access CIGARS, to it, he says, noting that Lenawee now owns three carts in each of its three schools. in our district have been huge. They've been huge in many other districts, as well. At a time when media technologies are proliferating like gremlins, an increasing number of elementary and secondary school districts are turning to these wheeled wonders to solve some of their logistical woes. Media cart vendors such as Bretford (www.bretford.com), Jar Systems (www.jar-systems.com), EarthWalk Communications (www.earthwalk.com), Hewlett-Packard (www.hp.com), and Span (www.spaninc.com) all say cart sales have increased in recent years. Carts don't merely help organize heavy and hard-to-transport equipment; they also provide a tidy solution for storing equipment, not to mention a manageable way to distribute limited resources around a particular school or wing. The best part, of course, is that the carts themselves are relatively inexpensive and frequently come at a discount for those willing to buy enough media to qualify. But never judge a media cart by the cart alone; the very best carts are those that incorporate a sturdy vessel with solid technology. Power is not in the says Frank Romano, director of Curriculum Assessment, Instruction, and Technology at Tenafly Public Schools (NJ). It comes from the technology and the teacher's creativity. Two of a Kind Instead of investing in one type of cart when he bought into the technology earlier this decade, Romano spent district money on two types, as each performs a distinct function: videoconferencing or presentation. While some carts do both, the video-conferencing version is used strictly when teachers or administrators need to hold videoconferences, while the presentation carts are used for tasks more commonly associated with traditional A/V. According to Romano, however, both functions are important to the overall academic environment, as they impact education in different ways. All carts contain the same basic components: a computer, a monitor, a data projector, and document cameras from Elmo (.www.elmousa.com). The carts designed for videoconferencing also are stocked with video cameras, VCRs, and devices such as iPod docking stations and microphones. To use a cart, a teacher plugs it into an ordinary wall outlet, then uses a standard Ethernet cable to plug the cart into the network. Once the cart is plugged into the wall and the network, it functions like a regular desktop unit. …" @default.
