VISION ENCOURAGES EFFECTIVE USE OF MULTIMEDIA IN THE CLASSROOM WITH
IDAHO PROJECTOR GRANT PROGRAM
BEAVERTON, Ore. -April 23, 2003- PLUS Vision Corporation of America,
the leader in projector miniaturization technology, today introduces
a projector grant program for educators in the state of Idaho to improve
learning through multimedia-enhanced instruction in more Idaho classrooms.
Through the new grant program, PLUS Vision will offer its full line
of projectors to Idaho educators at a reduced rate. For pricing and
additional information, please visit www.buyplusdirect.com/idaho.
"The widespread benefits of using multimedia in the classroom,
including increased interest and information retention among students,
have resulted in substantial demand for the technology from educators,"
said S. Mark Hand, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for PLUS
Vision. "Through this program, we hope to make projectors affordable
to all Idaho schools as well as begin educating teachers on their
effective use."
The Idaho grant program represents PLUS Vision's commitment to education
and to making multimedia-enhanced instruction possible in every school.
PLUS Vision hopes to implement similar programs in other states in
the near future. PLUS Vision also provides training, installation
and a loaner program for its projectors to make it easier for educators
to implement multimedia in the classroom.
