Classroom Media Carts Being Phased Out

For many years, each classroom has had a media cart at the front of the room connected to an overhead projector.   These carts usually include a full desktop computer, a sound system control, and a DVD player.  Although functional, many teachers were unhappy about the amount of space the carts took up in the front of the room.  Others felt that the setup was a little to complicated, and were frustrated when they couldn't get things to run smoothly in the middle of class.  Others disliked the bundles of cables which inevitably hung down from such a configuration.  We are working now on phasing out these carts.   Audio equipment will be shelf mounted along a wall.   Teachers will connect to the projectors wirelessly for most applications.
