Presenter:
Jeff McGinnis/Morgan Preston
Description:
During the district-wide campus facility assessment, several critical issues were identified that directly impact student success. One longstanding concern is the outdated classroom technology used for daily instruction. Many campuses have Promethean boards that are incompatible with current devices, limiting teacher interaction. Additionally, one campus relies on outdated projectors that do not support interactive teaching. Information will be presented to explore the potential for replacing some or all of the existing Promethean boards and projectors with modern interactive panels. |
