2. Menu Slide
PICK WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER THE
MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF CONTROLLING
PRESENTATIONS.

3. You have selected the Extron AV Touch Panel
This specific model is called the TLP 1000TV, which is a tabletop mounted system
that is a control system compatible for any projection style presentation.
TouchLink panels are full-color, tabletop and wall-mountable control systems
ranging in size from 3.5 inches to the new 10-inch models. The devices offer a
touch interface with a fully customizable UI, a pre-built UI theme pack, control
software, drivers, and a configuration utility.
Other Features include:
- Integrated speakers
- Sleep timer and motion detector for energy saving
- Automatic clock synchronization
- Source

4. Extron AV Touch Panel Cont..
 The TLP 1000TV works in conjunction with any Extron IP Link control
processor and is designed for use in AV system applications that
require complete, interactive control of conferencing
systems, displays, switchers and source devices.
 Something that I found vey interesting about this piece of equipment is
the fact that it can be compatible with any software or brand.
Sometimes you have to have the same technology for the system to
work, but this makes it easy to use no matter what you have.
“The new models also include an integrated Ethernet port
(10Base-T/100Base-TX) with support for IP Link control
processors and power over Ethernet.” – David Nagel

5. Personal Reflection Slide
 When I first looked at this screen I asked myself what this one had that
would set it apart from the others.
 What I found out was that this particular Extron model comes in a
couple different mounting forms. The free mount ( handheld) form
allows you to carry the panel with you wherever you go. The second
type is the table top mount, which allows the leader of the presentation
to sit down at the desk and control the presentation. I feel like this
would be the most effective type of mount for a classroom setting. The
third and final type of mount is the wall mount, which comes with a
remote control. I don’t think I would recommend this one unless it was
in a home-like setting.

This app could be good in a classroom setting because
many kids these days have smart phones and the
ability to get this app. The plus side is also that this app
Is relatively cheap.

9. You’ve selected
the Wacom
Interactive Pen
Display
This product really is an
amazing piece of
technology. This tablet
allows users to draw
directly on the screen
with 512 levels of
pressure sensitivity and
an input resolution of
2,540 lines per inch.
This is mind blowing to
think of how much
innovation went in to
creating this product.
The only downside to
this product in my mind
is that it goes for
around $2,000, which
Source
seems a bit pricey.

10. The full HD (1920 x
1080) interactive pen
display is an optimal
choice for people who
use applications that
benefit from working
with pen directly on a
large, wide-format
screen. It can be utilized
for redlining and signing
documents, annotating
and sharing
presentations, completin
g forms, creating hand-
drawn imagery, and
capturing handwritten
notes

11. Personal Reflection Slide
 My initial reaction to this product was wow, because
it is fully in HD. When I think of HD, I think about
T.V.’s and computers, not 10” touch screen tablets.
 If I had to pick one of the three as my favorite for a
classroom setting, this one would be it.
 The tablet allows you to write directly on it, enabling
underlining, highlighting, etc.
 The author of this article says that the product is
“directly targeted towards education,” which is
always a good sign if you are looking towards an
educational use for the product.

12. Conclusion Slide
 In conclusion, I found that all of these products have
potential to be very useful in a classroom setting.
 Some are made more for educational purposes than
others, however they all could serve as a useful
product in the classroom.
 There would have to be some sort of budget increase
within a school system to allow each classroom to
have one, but I think it would be a new, useful
technique to enhance the learning process.
