The AVerPen system allows educators to control and interact with lesson plan content from virtually anywhere in their classroom.  The pens function as a wireless slate type system, but also include a response feature as well.  Students and student groups also have their own pens with the ability to respond to assessment questions and manipulate lesson content as well.  AVerVision document cameras provide clear, colorful, live images of documents or 3D objects for classroom presentations and demonstrations.  The AVerComm H Series Video Conferencing System is an H.323 compatible high definition video conferencing solution that includes multi-point capability, content sharing, conference recording to a USB flash drive and more, all without licensing or maintenance fees.  

"This contest is another fun way for AVerMedia to give back to educators in our communities and to equip them with the latest innovative 21st Century Classroom Tools," says Grant Woods, Marketing Communications Director for AVerMedia Information, Inc. USA.  "The combination of the AVerPen system with AVerVision Document Cameras and the AVerComm Video Conference solution provides educators with a fully collaborative interactive classroom with the ability to communicate, share and interact both within the school boundaries and beyond."
