There will be a strong focus at the forthcoming BETT Show on interactivity - methods which allow teachers and students to be more mobile around the classroom with a range of new teaching techniques that can help engage a variety of student personalities. NEC will be located on stand E90 demonstrating its education display solutions that add life, reality and interactivity to the curriculum, backed by trusted support and ecological standards.
The new NEC interactive wall mount solution aims to transform any flat surface into an interactive workspace. To be used in combination with a short throw or ultra-short throw projector from the NEC M or U Series, the interactive wall mount solution can utilise your existing projection equipment allowing the school to harness the benefits of interaction without having to invest heavily in all new projection equipment. The benefits this solution offers to teachers have been recognised by the industry having been shortlisted as a finalist at the BETT Awards 2012.
NEC Display Solutions is continuing to drive the adoption of 3D technology by supporting pilot projects in co-operation with Texas Instruments DLP. The results of the research indicate a marked positive effect of the use of 3D animations on learning, recall and performance in tests making a compelling case for the use of 3D as a teaching tool in schools. NEC will make a strong case for 3D at the BETT Show with demonstrations using its 3D capable U- Series and V- Series projectors.
Further innovations in interactive technology will be showcased by NEC including iPad solutions and large format multi-touch displays. All of these tools deliver a much richer learning environment and tap into the changing way that younger generations interact with content and learn. When implemented correctly, these have been proven to increase test scores, close the gender gap and increase knowledge retention.
NEC will also showcase its product solutions which extend beyond the classroom, promoting the distribution of information and creating networks of communication by allowing schools and higher education establishments to transmit information to specific groups of people through large format LCD displays and projectors.
Regardless of what the future holds, teachers agree that there’s no substitute for good teaching and engaging subject matter, but interactive displays can go a long way to enhancing the content. These help improve engagement and concentration levels, by making learning more fun and interactive for students, whilst giving more freedom to teachers to be as creative and engaging as possible.
