Audio Visual (AV) Technology

Ofsted reports often remark that teachers fail to exploit interactive whiteboards or digital projectors fully. This is not a surprising as the average teacher is still presented with a jumble of AV cables, which can be extremely difficult to use. In addition, many teachers complain that their teaching is compromised by the faint display of an aging classroom projector. It doesn’t have to be like this in your school - the latest AV technology is much more sophisticated and easier for teachers to use.

How can 123ICT help?123ICT have built strong partnerships with AV technology suppliers and are confident that we can find the best value solution to meet your requirements:

• Updating existing classroom AV set up• New classroom / hall AV solutions• Digital signage in school reception areas• iPad / tablet connectivity (e.g. Apple TV)

In addition to a full procurement and installation service, we will offer staff training on how to get the most out of your new AV technology.

Please contact us to arrange a free AV site survey during which we will explain the different AV technology options available to your school. Demonstrations of your technology options can be arranged either at your school or by visiting some of our local case-study schools.

123ICT would welcome the opportunity to discuss your AV needs. Please contact office@123ICT.co.uk

Case Studies:

CTOUCH Installations“Following a number of successful installations, CTOUCH have chosen to work in partnership with 123ICT on installations of our large format touch displays in Primary Schools. They have a good understanding of what primary schools need from their AV solutions, superb technical knowledge and a close working relationship with the majority of schools in the area, which make them an ideal partner for CTOUCH. They are also very easy to work with, very professional in their approach to schools, you can be assured of a partner whose levels of service are excellent” Tim Porter, CTOUCH Product Manager

“I had been using the old style projectors and smartboards but was lucky enough to be able to start afresh with a new classroom. Stuart our consultant recommended a CTOUCH screen as the most cost effective option. He got it installed during the summer break ready for the start of the school year. I love it. It’s got so many options for interactive teaching and so easy to get up and running each day. The screen quality is really good - nice and bright and it’s so reliable. Stuart also connected it up with our Apple TV box so we can share what the children have been doing on the iPad, which adds another dimension to our learning. Fantastic job 123ICT.” Sam Blake, Year 2 Teacher, Orchard Meadow Primary School

Conversion From Traditional Smartboards to Epson Interactive Projectors“Our old smart boards with ceiling mounted projectors were proving unmanageable, our teachers were constantly having to reset the smartboards and the bulbs were getting far too dim. Stephen, our 123ICT consultant, gave us advice on the alternatives and found us the best price for each. He was very flexible installing in the school holidays to minimise disruption. The new projectors are great it’s a much neater option - we can use with our dry wipe boards. With regards to price – the cost to replace the bulbs in our old projectors was so expensive this new installation proved far more cost effective. Thank you 123ICT a great service, as always.”Jeanette Millward, Headteacher, St Peters Church of England Primary School
