One technology device that represents rhymes of
history is the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Projector. The LCD Projector rekindles the Overhead
Transparency Projector that most educators used within their classrooms to
display images and textual information to their students during educational
lessons, activities, and projects. The
LCD Projector retrieves the Overhead Transparency from the past because educators
are able to projector large images, photos, graphics, and informational text onto
a large screen or wall. Although the LCD
Projector and the Overhead Transparency Projector are designed very differently,
the two projectors can be used to display written information and images on a
screen to a large audience during educational and business conferences/presentations. The first LCD Projector was invented in1984
by Gene Dolgoff. His invention of the
LCD Projector provides ways for educators to incorporate real life activities
and events into classroom curriculums so all children have opportunities to
receive more meaningful, engaging, and challenging educational experiences. According
to Kevin Kelly (2007), the web is like “a little bacteria” that will infect
everyone. Everyone will depend on it,
and we must become familiar with accessing it because it is not going
anywhere.

I am so thankful to have the LCD projector in my classroom. The overhead projector, when used frequently, would always get hot and the bulbs would burn out. Thus far I haven't had any issues with my LCD projector. My district invested in LCD projectors that would make any surface interactive via the "wand" that comes with it. The wand can work as a mouse, pencil, pointer, etc. Although I haven't explored all the features, this is a pretty good device and my students seem to like it.
