We believe in the projector idea. We have people that use that same argument as well, until you permanently mount them in the classroom and they are always connected to the computer. Once we have done that, the teacher's do not have to worry about connecting them or the setup. They just turn them on and they work.
As for the interactive portion that people have talked about, we have chosen to use the Qomo handheld wireless tablet instead of a whiteboard, smartboard or Mimio type device. For $325 or so, you get the same functionality, don't stare into the projector all day, get to walk around the room and the kids are not looking at my out of proportioned body while I am it the board demo'ing. Our teachers have loved it, and I am not sure that they would want to be tied down to a board after using it. Have a great weekend everyone!!!

What would you rather prefer for classrooms. LCD or Projectors? We have projectors in all of our middle school classrooms and our teachers do not use them because they are too hard to use they say. Please give me some of your opinions on what you think.
