Learning Bank # 14:MAXIMIZING THE USE OF THE OVERHEAD PROJECTOR AND THE CHALKBOARD

                 
            -You should select a classroom projector that has roughly 3000 Lumens for best illumination. This will ensure that large audiences can view the display with bright lights being displayed in the classroom. Also remember that the larger the screen you use, the more Lumens you should require from your projector.

            -The world is quickly learning the benefits of adding multimedia capabilities to educational environments. Today's choice of classroom projectors includes component video inputs that will allow you to network your projector to DVD players, VCRs, and more. By using digital video projectors and multimedia projectors you can view streaming videos from the Internet, play audio files, and teach with programs such as Cable in the Classroom.
            -Some portable projectors weigh between 5-10 pounds. However, you will get more results from choosing a larger (and therefore heavier) classroom projector. You can set the projector on a cart making it more mobile from room to room. This is also an effective way to store other components such as VCRs and DVD players that are connected to the projector. For storing your projector and other equipment on a cart, you can select a projector that weighs between 20-30 pounds.
