The educators at Lovejoy Independent School
District (LISD) in Lovejoy, Texas, not only love to teach, but they love
to learn. Located 25 miles north of Dallas, LISD recently added 235
Hitachi StarBoard FX-Duo interactive whiteboards for the 2008-2009
school year for its five schools—three elementary, one middle
school, and one high school—as part of its technology-upgrade
plans. "The typical classroom at Lovejoy is interactive and engaging.
Our technology is learning-centered and age-appropriate," says Dennis
Womack, assistant superintendent for operations at LISD. 
The Institution Univers Chretien d'Haiti is
a long way from the offices of Polar Focus, a professional audio rigging
design and manufacturing company in western Massachusetts, and from
Truthseeker Productions, an audio installation contractor of Columbus,
Ohio. But that was not an obstacle to installing a new sound
reinforcement system in the school auditorium at the Institution
Univers. Preschool, kindergarten, primary, and secondary, and adult
vocational education are offered at the institution. 
Offering cost-effective solutions combined
with ease of installation and elegant styling, JBL Professional is
introducing the new 8100 Series ceiling speakers at PLASA08. The 8100

Offering unprecedented performance and value,
Canon U.S.A., a leader in digital imaging, announced the new VB-C60
pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) network camera. This new camera is designed as a
versatile, compact solution for high-quality, remote-video monitoring
over IP and can be used for many diverse applications—including
monitoring property and facilities, surveillance in hospitals and
schools, or webconferencing in board rooms. Featuring Genuine Canon
Optics, the VB-C60 has an ultra-long built-in zoom (40X optical) and
wide-angle lens (56-degree horizontal field of view), as well as an auto
focus system and image stabilization. 
TV One has taken product diversification up
a notch with the addition of HD-SDI to five of the 10 units in the newly

universal switcher/scalers, four switcher/scalers, and four
downconverters. The units are all available for shipment.
