Technology and education’s relationship has been a very important one ever since the first overhead projector displayed those magic marker decorated transparency sheets onto a blackboard.

Knox, national business development manager at WyreStorm, sat down with Karen Ethier, director of support services, information technology ,at Roger Williams University to discuss establishing a seamless Pro AV flexibility in the classroom, current trends to engage and collaborate with all students, and how the relationship between schools and AV manufacturers is more important now more than ever.
