"One of the rooms has an Epson TW500 digital
ceiling projector and surround sound speakers set into the ceiling.
Every classroom has a
ceiling projector as well as computer/multimedia podiums.
I particularly like the plasma setup because as the teacher walks in front of the images he isn't blinded by the lamp from the
ceiling projector hung in the center of the room.
Each class is fully wired and provided with an integrated computer and media lectern that links the instructional technology with
ceiling projectors and allows instructors to deploy every teaching technology from the traditional "overhead" to the latest information management tools provided by PowerPoint presentations, live internet research, digital photography, video and audio playback, and teleconferencing.
The large main conference room includes state-of-the-art technological amenities, including teleconferencing and audio visual systems with recessed
ceiling projectors and screens, motorized blackout shades and a multiple-scene dimming system.
Power consumption and getting the power to the technology (including
ceiling projectors) are items to consider up front.
Now, teaching in one of the 60 classrooms at SHU equipped with Sharp LCD fixed
ceiling projectors, things are infinitely more convenient, she says.
