Electronic Teaching: Touch Screen Technology
Article Abstract:
The International Institute of Applied Technology distributes an infrared touch-activated video screen for $1595. New England Technology Group distributes a mylar-plastic touch-activated screen for $2500. The mylar screen has 200 times more touch coordinates than the infrared screen. Both screens can easily be used in an educational setting where keyboard entry is much too slow, or the lesson must be presented and reacted to visually.
