Enhance Interactions and Engagement with a Classroom AV System

Ensure the Best AV Solutions and Support

Sound and image are two essential elements in learning. The Pictorial Superiority Effect tells us you’re more likely to remember something if it’s linked to an image. In fact, images significantly outperform text in terms of human memory recall.

Audio elicits emotions, encourages discussion, and provides a social component lacking in text. Combined, they enhance the learning environment, creating an engaging classroom that transforms the learning experience. 

A classroom AV system can help create this environment, bringing high-quality educational experiences to your Sacramento, CA, school. At the same time, budgets are limited, so careful consideration is always important when determining the optimum solutions. Let’s explore some of the technology that’s supporting students and staff.

Prioritizing Multimedia 

Crystal-clear images and sound help instructors present engaging lessons and support students in retaining what they learn. Of course, educators are well aware of this, knowing the importance of multimedia and incorporating technological advancements across the years. From overhead projectors to 4K video and immersive audio, these systems use the brain’s response to auditory and visual cues to enhance engagement and understanding. 

At PCD, we provide standalone and AV system packages tailored for each classroom and designed to create a dynamic learning environment. These include options in wireless microphone systems with built-in amplifiers, interactive projectors that transform surfaces into whiteboards, interactive whiteboards, and remote AV controls that let students engage from their desks. 

Large projection screens, best-in-class projectors, and in-wall or in-ceiling speakers ensure students can clearly see and hear the teacher. Facial expressions, tone of voice, and gestures are all nonverbal behaviors that carry significant weight in communication. This unhampered connection increases students’ attentiveness, understanding, and memory. 

After considering the room size, ambient light levels, throw distance, and needed connection types, we’ll recommend the best solution for your applications. By partnering with leading manufacturers, you’re guaranteed the system best suited for your needs. 

Some schools hesitate to invest in classroom AV, concerned about the possible connectivity and technical issues. PCD is here to help you with that, too.
