The Mason County Central School District in Scottville, Michigan has deployed BrightLink interactive displays, as well as Epson document cameras.

Transitioning each classroom from a traditional lamp-based projector to an interactive BrightLink display provides much higher brightness so every student in the room could see the content being projected, according to a press release.

"The interactive BrightLink displays are a huge upgrade from our old projectors," Miguel Quinteros, K-12 technology coach for Mason County Central School District, said in the release. "It is great to walk down the school hallways and see big, bright images inside the classrooms."

When it came time to update each classroom, the emphasis remained on implementing interactive and versatile technology, and as the district started testing out interactive flat panels and displays, they added image size to the priority list.

"The size of the flat panel was a big turn off for teachers. They are difficult to see and aren't big enough for the classroom," Quinteros said in the release. "If a student is sitting in the back of the classroom, they aren't able to read the flat panel no matter how big it is."

BrightLink provides up to 75% more interactive space than a 75-inch flat panel while providing a low cost per square inch. With 4,100 lumens of color and white brightness1 and proprietary 3-chip 3LCD technology, it delivers a bright and colorful picture that can easily be viewed in ambient light conditions from nearly anywhere in the classroom.

The flexible display capabilities of BrightLink were a deciding factor.

"Teachers love their whiteboard space. With BrightLink, they can have high-quality images and video along with a digital whiteboard experience that can be saved," Quinteros said in the release. "And by projecting on the whiteboard already in the room, when the projector is off, they get their whiteboard back."

Teachers are also using the free Epson suite of annotation and casting software to mirror their phones to the projector, allowing them to showcase student work or display live video of objects for the entire class to see.

Teachers learned how to use Epson iProjection and Miracast and utilize the interactivity features of the BrightLink displays. It was important for teachers to initially have the basics down, and now looking ahead, the district plans to offer additional training for teachers.

"Epson engineers classroom displays to deliver what teachers value most – interactivity, versatility, and large, easy-to-see images that enhance every lesson," Tom Piche, product manager, Epson America Inc., said in the release.

"We look forward to continuing to support Mason County Central School District's display needs as part of the district's classroom revamp initiative. This school district has embraced today's technologies and created learning environments that are more connected and better equipped to support teachers and students for the long term."
