Cost-Cutting
Convergence: Document Cameras, from Samsung
The SVP-5300 evolves centuries-old transparency and photographic technology. A free-swivel camera can tilt and twist to virtually any angle while still operating at a reliable resolution and speed. It even captures motion at up to 25 frames per second, all the while retaining the precision of a high-quality scanner. A USB 2.0 port allows connection to a multitude of projectors, computers, and peripherals, and an SSNR chip cuts down on the visual fuzz that can ruin an otherwise great presentation.

Many resources are provided for schools by the No Child Left Behind Act, including funds and guidance to increase teacher proficiency with education equipment. A good portion of these assets go unused. At the same time, barely a third of instructors feel comfortable with their computers, moving the US Department of Education to offer enhanced information regarding the extensive and efficient use of classroom technology.
