The Glenwood School of Sacramento, California prides itself on staying on the
cutting edge of technology to enable its teachers to provide the most effective and
engaging solution possible. With this in mind, the 500-student elementary school
recently added Hitachi CP-TW3003 interactive 3LCD projectors to each of its
classrooms.

With skylights in most of its classrooms, the Glenwood School needed a projector
that did not require ceiling mounting and excessive cabling.

With the short-throw technology, the staff at Glenwood is able to mount the
projectors above the whiteboards in each room to free up space where the carts
were previously stationed. “Glenwood was in need of an update to its presentation
systems,’ said Adam VeVea, Technology Specialist for the Glenwood School. “We
decided on the Hitachi interactive short-throw projectors to eliminate the issues of
dangling cables and cumbersome projector carts.’

The projectors are being used in combination with teachers’ computers, tablets, and
document cameras. The teachers are using the interactive whiteboards to present
information and interact with the students using their curriculum software. The
Glenwood School is constantly finding new ways to incorporate the technology into
the classroom curriculum.

The response from the teachers has been nothing put positive. “My projector is
quiet, reliable, and on the ceiling,’ said Elaine Cooper, a 4th grade teacher at
Glenwood. “I love using the pen to overlay different objects and documents on top
of one another.’

Not only has the teacher response been positive but the students at Glenwood have
loved the upgrade as well. “The students have been so positive about the projectors
because we don’t have to spend a lot of time waiting for them to warm up or for me
to hook up the equipment,’ explained 6th grade teacher Lina Tran. “I use the “magic
pen’ often in math and it really gets them engaged and interacting with the
content.’
