Daylighting, the use of natural light to illuminate a
space, has become a hot topic thanks to LEED ratings and the green
building movement. Schools that have incorporated skylights, atriums, or
window walls are finding that window shade selection is just as
important as an open design. "With green construction, buildings have
more glass and therefore more light. AV dealers have to control light to
create an environment for AV presentations but balance that with energy
efficiency. Selecting the right window shade fabric makes all the
difference," says Clint Childress, green buildings coordinator for
Draper, which started as a window shade manufacturer in 1902 before
expanding its production to include projection screen and gym equipment.
Of the 514 students who attend Mark Twain Elementary
School in Wheeling, Ill., 427 come from homes in which Spanish is the
first language. The school embraces diversity and seeks to help students
succeed in an increasingly technological society. As part of that
mission, the school chose Rosa Kuhn to fill the position of computer and
IT instructor five years ago. Before assuming her new duties, Kuhn
served more than two decades as a bilingual teacher in the district. She
recently invested in an HHB FlashMic that allows students to make
recordings of lessons and projects that are easily uploaded to the
Internet. Students analyze their speech at home and share their work
with family and friends.

The Evertz 2407RGBT miniature RGBHV/DVI/KVM fiber
transmitter sends high-resolution/high-quality video signals over a
single or dual fiber. This self-contained module accepts one analog
RGBHV or digital DVI video input up to WUXGA resolution. The 2407RGBT is
also available with analog audio, keyboard + mouse, and USB options. The
companion 2407RGBR RGBHV/DVI/KVM fiber receiver demultiplexes the
signals and converts them back to analog RGBHV and digital DVI.
