Equipment Showcase – Media Carts
Posted by Fritzquist on 5th October 2007
The increased prevalence of PowerPoint presentations, DVDs, Internet research, and technology use in general has created a noticeable gap in resources. If your students create PowerPoint presentations in class, how do you present them? Labs are always full, and the cords just don’t reach from the computer to a projector in the middle of the class (not to mention the insurance liability when someone trips over them!). How do you show your class what you expect them to be doing in the labs? What if you want to play a review game on the computer? Are you afraid your class will sleep through that DVD on Ernest Hemingway? If any of these scenarios apply to you, a media cart is the answer. The technology department has taken all the equipment you would need to do any of these things and more, and placed it on a self-contained cart you can wheel to your classroom. Projector, laptop, DVD/VCR combo, and speakers combine to allow you the ultimate multimedia experience. Teachers who have tried them find them to be convenient and an enhancement to their curriculum. A media cart can be checked out from Sandy in the Nexus. If you would like additional information or a demonstration, please contact Bridget at bfitzsimons@sd129.org.
