Educational Technology Solutions has assembled a suite of products that are at the forefront of classroom technology to enhance your learning spaces.

Audio Enhancement Classroom System

Audio Enhancement is recognized as one of the key technologies in today’s classroom wherein the teacher talking to the students is the primary teaching modality. Studies have shown that as much as 75% of the school day is spent in activities that involve listening (Flexor, University of Akron, 2002). The Audio Enhancement system enhances the teacher’s voice – evenly distributing it throughout the learning environment. By utilizing this technology, the teacher creates an environment that provides every student equal access to the teacher’s voice, regardless of their physical location or orientation to the teacher. Listening to the teacher’s voice truly is the cornerstone of the education system. By enhancing this critical teaching tool in the classroom, student achievement can be improved.

Visual Presenter

The variety of materials that are available for use as instructional aids in today’s classroom is vast. It has been proven that engaging multiple modes of learning is one way to achieve great results in the classroom. The visual presenter is a tool that makes visual learning simple and accessible for all students. Much more flexible than the traditional overhead projector, the visual presenter, with a flexible goose-neck design easily provides access for the entire class to any printed material and to three dimensional objects as well.

Security – SAFE System

One of the key concerns parents have expressed regarding schools centers around the safety of their children. Unfortunately, one only needs to watch the evening news to understand that these fears are real. The Ultimate IISE system provides a personal alert for the teacher so that help may be summoned in a time of need. The help needed may be due to a medical emergency, a dispute between students that escalates beyond the control of the teacher, or an intruder who threatens the safety of the students and staff. Whatever the situation, the teacher now has a way to summon help without having to access a button on a wall or having to pick up a telephone. By simply pressing the function button on their microphone, a pre-established chain of events can be set in motion that will provide appropriate assistance to teachers during a time of need.

Projector

Projectors are the main visual presentation tool in the classroom today. They provide an excellent value for the classroom. Today’s projectors have excellent picture quality and provide classrooms with a picture large enough for all students to see. A projector works in concert with the teacher’s computer, the visual presenter, and the interactive white board. It is a critical component in any modern classroom.  In today’s classroom, it is essential for teachers to be able to use them via a streamlined, easy to use, interface. The demands placed on teachers to increase student achievement means that they cannot afford to spend instructional time trying to get technology to work smoothly. By providing an easy to use control system that ties all of the audio/visual technologies together, the teacher has the ability to easily switch from one component to another without wasting valuable instruction time.

Student Response System

Student Response Systems provide students with the ability to actively participate in the lessons being taught. Student Response Systems allow every student to send their response digitally, and immediately see that response displayed on the Interactive White Board, rather than teachers choosing only one or two of the students with raised hands to respond. Student Response Systems now go far beyond simple multiple choice quizzes. Students can all engage in full text responses, Likert scales, sorting in order, ranking, and even self-paced learning.
