Darden School of Business Classroom Technology

We hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend with your family & friends! We were busy with events and it looks like April and May were just the start. We are working on a lot of great projects this Summer and plan to share them with you here.

First, we are very excited to be working with the UVA Darden School of Business here in Charlottesville for the third Summer in a row to upgrade their classroom technology. We have partnered with Dell, Mediatech and Crestron again this year to provide Darden with the state-of-the-Art facilities that they need to provide the latest in technology to their students.

Here is how the Darden website describes the technology that they offer:

"Darden anticipates and embraces changing trends in information technology. The School builds cutting-edge technology into every classroom and learning experience. Professors employ a wide array of technology-enhanced learning tools, such as interactive simulations, to engage students in real-world exercises. They also produce digital content to complement the curriculum, including multimedia case studies produced by Darden Media and published by Darden Business Publishing. To stay at the forefront of MBA teaching, we must be the best at teaching in a digital world."

Classroom Technology Trends

Classroom Technology Trends

 

Summer was a very busy time for us this year - we spent much of it getting local high schools & universities ready for this time of year - back to school!

We noticed an increase in the need for more classrooms in general & more technology locally but now that things have slowed down a bit and we are catching up on our reading we have realized that it seems to be a trend nationwide as well! 

This article (link below) makes a great point - the recession seems to have encouraged many people to head back to school which means that the schools have to keep up when it comes to enough space and the classroom technology to keep up with new students. 

Also, because graduating students are entering companies that so have the latest technology, it is now even more important that schools keep up. 

Check out this article form Sound & Video Contractor on the Top Four Trends in Classroom Technology. They include: 

  • Bigger Pictures and Sound
  • Enhanced Audio
  • Video Capture
  • I/T is more important than ever!
