Ms. Richmond, a creative and performing arts teacher at Drummoyne Public School, wanted her students to not only cherish their class time but feel excited about lessons too. BenQ’s PointWrite™ system made Ms. Richmond’s job easier. With 1-second calibration, Ms. Richmond could ready a pen or any student’s fingers instantaneously, and with 4-point multi-touch capabilities, multiple students could collaborate simultaneously. Art lessons in Ms. Richmond’s classes were a breeze when the kids could work together.

The MW824ST’s short-throw 0.49 lens, makes it capable of casting crystal clear images over short distances. It’s the ideal projector for even the smallest classrooms. At 3200 ANSI lumens, the MW824ST casts a bright, vibrant, high-quality image, and its 13000:1 ultra-sharp contrast ratio produces a picture clarity that is easy to see from great distances so even students at the back of the room can see the projection without issue. Moreover, the 13000:1 ratio helps reduce eyestrain, allowing students to focus throughout the class. With a high-end projector and brilliant software, students’ imaginations were stimulated. In the end, Ms. Richmond and other staff at Drummoyne Public School noticed a marked improvement in student collaboration, they all felt they had finally achieved their desired results.

The Drummoyne Public School’s staff were unquestionably satisfied with their BenQ solutions. A projector that could cast images along long and short spaces made the MW824ST versatile. With the PointWrite™ system, fingers or pens can be calibrated in a mere second, and up to four students could simultaneously participate in classroom lessons. Ms. Richmond noted that when students were at the board in groups of four, they felt more comfortable in front of the rest of the class. Their enthusiasm to participate surpassed all expectations. With four pens, more students could go at once, allowing for every child to have their chance to partake in the action. An added benefit to the MW824ST is its durability. With two advanced filters, BenQ’s MW824ST is equipped to survive even the dustiest of environments. Inside the machine are durable micro-mirrors which add an extra layer of protection against dust and debris, and reduce overall heat damage, ultimately prolonging the life of the projector. In short, the strong, crystal clear images will continue to remain vibrant year over year.
