Interactive Classroom Projector Shootout. Marc Davidson, January 18, 2013 Interactive projectors combine the capability of a standard projector plus an interactive whiteboard at a lower cost. However, not only do the various models differ in all the usual projector features, they differ in their interactive features as well, which means you can't treat the interactive part as a given. For this shootout, we gathered what are really two categories of interactive projector: four DLP projectors that use TI's interactive technology, and two LCD projectors that don't.
Two Categories All four of the DLP projectors share some strengths and weaknesses that are built into TI's technology. They don't need calibration, which means you can move the projector or change resolution and get right to work. And they can interact without the pen touching the screen, which lets you use literally any projection surface, including a hanging screen without a hard backing. The LCD projectors offer the exactly opposite strengths and weaknesses.

While we know that something must change, we simply cannot begin to imagine what those changes might look like. Our kids’ futures will require them to be: Like many of those working to redefine schools, Richardson believes that technology can play an important role in promoting the kinds of networking, collaboration and global awareness that will become a regular part of tomorrow's learning.
