Project Anywhere

     As educators working with technology, we always emphasize student learning above the digital tool regardless of hardware or software. What is it that we want our students to learn and how will certain digital tools help students accomplish the learning task? That said, it's been an exciting time to see some of the hardware that has been coming out and finding ways to incorporate them into the classroom. One exciting device is the AT&T exclusive ZTE Spro 2 Smart Projector.
     We've seen smart TVs, but we're now seeing smart projectors that can run apps directly from the Google Play Store. That means students can display and collaborate on Docs, Slides, and any other tool from their Drive accounts without having to hook up their devices. The ZTE Spro also acts as a mobile hotspot so you won't need internet connectivity to fire up presentations or share online resources. Since the projector is small enough to carry around, students and teachers can use it to move around to different parts of the classroom to best fit their needs.
