DUNCAN — Duncan High School Algebra I teachers are doing something to help their students. They’re getting out of the way.
Instead of standing by the overhead projector and in front of the projector screen, the teachers will be using projector systems affixed to the ceilings of their classrooms. They will also be using electronic notepads, which work with the projectors through a computer connection. Whatever is written with the stylus on the notepad appears on screen.
The projectors were installed Monday in three Algebra I classrooms and secured in a fourth.
Algebra I teacher Sam Holthe said, “One benefit is I’m out of the way now. Another benefit is I can control the class.
“It’s really an amazing thing.”
The installation of the projectors extended from Holthe’s use of the items in the classroom. After his projector and notebook were purchased with grant money, he gave Superintendent Sherry Labyer and Assistant Superintendent Glenda Cobb a demonstration on how the mechanisms work.
The demonstration led to the purchase of the equipment for the other classrooms.
