Top AV News Today - 08.21.14 Gear of the Day AV for Collaboration & Flipped Classrooms: "Five years ago if someone would have asked me to design a flipped classroom, I'd probably just stare at them blankly wondering to what they were referring. Yet, today, every time the discussion comes up to repurpose a room or build out new spaces I'm hoping for the opportunity to build a flipped, collaborative, environment that maximizes students' and professors' creativity. For smaller applications like this, I have found Extron's TeamWork systems to provide a true all-in-one solution for small tabletop collaboration settings. With built-in buttons on each cable, this system allows users to fully control who is showing content, and through CEC, the display can be powered on and off when a device is connected, eliminating the need for an additional control system." —Mike Brandes, CTS Quote of the Day "Hearing impairment is perhaps the most common disability affecting Americans—20 percent or more by some counts— yet it receives far less attention than more apparent conditions. As a result, accommodating those with hearing impairment has generally not been as high of a priority among contractors, venue owners, and the public at large as it could be. This is changing, as awareness has increased and more advanced assistive listening solutions have been brought to market, but it is still a slow uphill climb to get the industry on board." —Cory Schaeffer Today's AV Job • On-Site AV Technician II, Whitlock (Boston, MA) Top Tech News from the Web • EdTech Deal of the Day: Buy 3 & Get the 4th Free—ClearVIEW & PowerVIEW Camera Systems by Vaddio • InfoComm Connections Philadelphia, Oct 22nd: Don't Miss It! • Digital Signage Trends Showcase, Toronto, Oct 7-8 Additional Resources • AV Technology July/August 2014 Edition • AV Technology June 2014 Edition • Secrets of Great AV Installations in Higher Ed • The Tech Manager's Guide to InfoComm 2014 • AV Technology May 2014 Edition • The Technology Manager's Guide to Connectivity Solutions • Showcase of Campus Digital Signage • The User's Guide to PTZ Cameras • The Technology Manager's Guide to Outdoor AV • The Technology Manager's Guide to Learning Spaces • BYOD & Group Collaboration White Paper • Special Report on Video Technology • Master Class on IP Video Technology: Free & On-Demand Master Class with Dr. Phil Hippensteel • Whitepaper & Infographic: Cloud-Based, Smart Digital Signage • 10 Remedies for Everyday Video Problems @AVTechnologyMag "Forget the old way of selling—it's boring."
