      Phased-in deployment over several years replacing 4:3 screens with 16:9

      Most classrooms built since 2006 have offset 
        screens to maximize whiteboard space – older 
        rooms were centered
          Looking for feedback on value in retrofitting older rooms 
           to offset the screens as they are replaced
      Standardizing on 8ft screen width minimum
          Looking for feedback on the importance of standardizing 
           screen height across similar sized classrooms
      Evaluating various wireless presentations tools
          Looking for faculty interested volunteering to test and 
           provide feedback on the value of evolving wireless 
           presentation technologies in the classroom
