By Chris Craft, PhD: 6th grade Spanish and Latin teacher in Columbia, SC and InFocus education guru In education these days the use of space is a popular topic. It is high time that we critically analyze everything about the classroom environment, beginning with the space. Space design informs the function and flow of a classroom. A child’s visual focal point is important, and forcing them to cast their eyes on a fixed surface (like an immovable interactive whiteboard) is troubling. There is a math teacher in our school that has an unconventional classroom space. Read More

Affectionately known as the father of the digital projector, Paul was in town to accept a Weatherford Award from the Oregon State University School of Entrepreneurship, so he came by the office to give us a little history lesson and techie show-and-tell of the first digital projectors ever made.

  • April 1st 2011

Variety is great, right? You’re more likely to find what you want. But InFocus has so many of these short throw projectors to choose from that we felt compelled to help you out.

Plus, you won’t have to worry about shadows blacking out the content or presenters getting blinded by the light. So which is the best short throw projector for you? Let’s break it down. Read More
