Imaging technology has dramatically affected the experience of K-12 teaching and overall classroom dynamics. When considering times in which the primary way to relay information was verbal, via a blackboard or overhead projector, along with the current array of computers, tablets, flat screens and projectors – deciding what to select can be complicated. Today there is a lot of focus on flat panels and projectors. However, the big dilemma isn’t which technology to select, but rather how to support the right visual environments that help teachers teach and students learn. Whether the pedagogical style is sage on a stage, guide by the side, flipped classrooms, display-based or constructivist, getting everyone on the same page and keeping focus are key components in supporting student comprehension.

Regardless of the technology selected, it's important to understand the factors that impact visibility for students and legibility of the display, as well as how to select screen size based on classroom size. In today’s K-12 classrooms, displays are used for a wide range of educational purposes for 50 percent or more of total class time, so ensuring that the technology is the optimal size and quality is critical.
