Smart
classrooms are at the center of the
technological revolution at Colleges, schools
and training centers. Imagine a classroom where
the lecture is projected on an electronic
board, the professor explain, write notes
and comments using electronic ink on the same
image being projected. The professor
teaches his lecture and at the end both the
lecture, image and comments written on the board
are sent to the students via e-mail.
No software to
learn, plug and play technology through
interactive boards, a state of the art
technology from Polyvision.
The interactive boards surface can be used to
both project electronic images from a LCD/DLP
projector, write comments through an electronic
marker or just simply use as a regular white
magic marker board. The high quality surface
comes with a lifetime warranty.
Mobile roller
stands are popular options to move the board
from one room to another maximizing the
use of the interactive board on multiple rooms.
Another popular
element of smart classrooms are Thin
clients, a powerful technology designed by
Hewlett Packard. Thin clients are powerful
computer terminals: economical, reliable, virus
free solutions. Thin clients can run normal
Microsoft Office software, internet and other
normal applications which are installed on
desktops. Thin clients rely on application being
installed on a central server (which in most
cases institutions already need to keep central
databases and e-mail). Thin clients do not
have a hard drive or a CD/DVD drive, moving
parts that often fail in normal systems, instead
thin clients have USB ports that allow users to
store their work on a USB flash drive. A main
result is that thin clients are more economical
than desktops, more reliable and are immune to
computer viruses since the virus can not store
or change the configuration of the thin
client. Typical warranties in this
technology are 3 years versus 1 year standard
warranties on desktops.
