Do you have any classrooms where the teacher has two projectors / large format screens? This is more common in university lecture theatres, but I am interested to see it in the classroom.
I am a teacher.
We have a new build and I am looking at IT classroom layout and options. I have no problems with interactive boards etc, my issue is pure and simply the size. To teach programming, the development environments are busy and complex and so pure and simple, the bigger the image which the students see, the better. Even on a 70" screen, the text is small at the back of the classroom (circa 5m away).
An idea to look at, therefore is a bigger screen, or to use 2. Run them dual head from the teacher PC. The teacher works on a dual head machine and the students see exactly the same on two large format screens on the wall bolted next to each other. I completely recognise that this pushes up the cost etc etc, but let's ignore that fact for a moment and focus on the impact for learning - that is the key bit I want to get right, then the cost becomes the next discussion.
Does anyone know any schools who do this which I can go to have a look at, or talk to?
thanks in advance.
