Projectors: delivering excitement in classrooms for decades

DELIVERING EXCITEMENT IN CLASSROOMS FOR DECADES

One of the first pieces of technology to enter and reshape the classroom was the projector. They became widely used in schools in the 1950s and have been a staple piece of education technology ever since. Over this time, they have dramatically evolved in shape, size, and capabilities but their popularity has never diminished.

Students can learn, engage and grow with the right tools and technology. It’s no secret that the key to an engaged classroom is excitement in learning, which is something that projectors can really deliver in compulsory education. Educators can tailor their teaching to achieve maximum impact using projectors. Teachers can create scenes that extend beyond the classroom, taking pupils on a journey. With the use of interactive projectors, pupils can be encouraged to take part using gestures and pens, sharing, and discussing notes collaboratively.

Students of today don’t know a world without laptops, smartphones and the latest up-to-date technologies. This makes it vital for technology to be incorporated into the classroom to maintain engagement, provide a better learning experience and longer retention of information. Gone are the days of out-of-date textbooks.

It’s not only the students who benefit from projector technology. Laser projectors are now a cost-effective and affordable presentation tool. They require no lamp replacement, have low maintenance costs and provide a better total cost of ownership (TCO). On average a laser light source provides 20,000 hours of life – this means that it can project for eight hours a day, five days a week, fifty weeks of the year and still last ten years! Projectors have greater energy efficiency too, helping schools and education facilities maintain a favourable Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) message. With instant on and off, there’s also no need for excessive energy use during a cooling off period.

Projectors are an essential part of higher education too, due to their versatility. Regardless of the size of a classroom, lecture theatre or auditorium, LCD projectors allow for crystal-clear images and format. The advancement in projector technology also means there’s no longer a need for IT involvement, with many projectors now having the capabilities to troubleshoot themselves should a problem arise.

A popular choice for any education settings, is an ultra-short throw projector. These require less space, often easily fitting at the front of a classroom, and therefore can be used in more areas of the school.
