• W349408056 abstract "REMEMBER THE DAYS when projection systems came in big carrying cases, were large, heavy, and unwieldy--and cost $3,000 to $5,0007 Setup was fraught with the challenges of multiple wires plugged into the backs of desktop computers, often causing confusion about what went where. Systems were sometimes so difficult to set up that teachers had to spend pre-class time putting them together. Once the projectors were in place and teachers flipped them on, they sometimes found the lamps were too bright to project clear images in a classroom with many windows. Now, thanks to new and emerging technologies, the experience of using the projector has been completely transformed. State-of-the-art, lightweight projection systems (some new models weigh as little as five pounds) offer advanced features and capabilities at prices less than $1,000. Many of the latest systems provide plug-and-play setup capabilities, project clear and vibrant colors, include controls for adjusting brightness, and work with wireless laptops to reduce the mess and nuisance of jumbles of tangled wires. These sophisticated systems can now be used by teachers to breathe life into what--in the absence of a projector--would be stagnant, linear, paper-bound experiences. For example, instead of pointing to a pull-down world map, a geography teacher can boot up a laptop, go online, and use tools such as Google Earth (earth.google.com) to project real-time images of geographical locations. Think of the projection system as the last component in the making of the technology-integrated classroom, creating immersive experiences that transport students to new worlds through a visual feast of images and videos. Taking the Projector Online Progressive educators understand the projector's value and its potential applications. A teacher now can connect a laptop to a projector, link back and forth between Web pages, and project images of people, places, animals, and things. Tony Crawford, a geography teacher at Ackerman Middle School in Canby, OR, uses an InFocus (edu.infocus.com) LP130 and an iMac (www.apple.com) to add a new dimension to his lesson plan called Everyday Explorer. Created in a partnership with the National Geographic Channel (channel.nationalgeographic.com) and local cable companies, Everyday Explorer (www.every dayexplorer.com) is designed to motivate middle schoolers to get out and explore the world around them. The program's Web-based curriculum encourages critical thinking, visual literacy, and an appreciation of other cultures. Crawford brings his students online by using his laptop in connection with the InFocus projector. Crawford says the convenience of having the projector at his disposal is a big advantage: Students don't have to wait while I write on the board. [Plus] it prevents me from having to schedule time in the computer lab. The projector is right in the classroom, right now. Another instructor, Mary Anne Beseda, technology director at Spring Independent School District in Houston, works with teachers who use their Mitsubishi (www.mitsubishi-presentations.com) SL47 projectors, and Internet connections to project streaming videos and incorporate them into lessons. Teachers are more excited about their projectors than [about their] laptops, says Beseda. It makes such a difference in getting kids' attention with visual displays and keeping them engaged. Enhanced learning opportunities are only the beginning of the benefits of new projection systems. They also considerably reduce paper and supply costs, saving thousands of dollars over time, and they enable teachers to make better use of their time. At Bellevue School District in Bellevue, WA, the gains realized by reduced copier usage, paper costs, and teacher prep time justified a districtwide rollout of projectors. Bellevue teachers no longer use their extra time to make handouts and backup materials, or to stand at the copier expending reams of paper to reproduce materials. …" @default.
