The Avalon Project

The Avalon Project is a free online resource created by Yale University. The site is a digital collection of original documents from various time periods from 450 BC through current day. It's amazing and would be a great resource for teachers and students in U.S. and World History courses.

Brightlink 450Wi Projector

CC is looking at purchasing additional data projectors for classrooms with some our Title funds. One of the new projectors now available is the Epson Brightlink 450Wi Interactive Projector. This high end projector plus pen combination integrates interactive functionality in one piece of equipment. All you need is this projector/pen combo and a wall or hard surface to project onto. Have you been interested in using an interactive whiteboard similar to the Smartboards we have in some of our classrooms? If so, this projector combines similar functions right in the projector. No need to worry about where you're going to put the whiteboard in your crowded classroom. You can see more at this link: http://www.epsonbrightlink.webengager.com/Education/

Would you use one of these new interactive projectors in your classroom or would a regular data projector work better for your situation?
