Get a viewsonic if it's on a school budget. They have educator discount codes available.

I bought the $139 model, I'm in love with it. I don't know how I taught without it all these years. I project everything with it, student's writings, my writings, work books, papers, and even science investigations. IT's FANTASTIC!!!!

Yes, I think it would be too small for an entire class (of 15 or 20 students) to use. I think it is more for home school or for a kid's room. I like using it with my kids, but even with three or four of us standing around it, it gets a little crowded.

Yes, it would be perfect for this. It's lightweight as well so bringing it with you to class also wouldn't be difficult.

No it looks pretty good. I suggest using an HDMI cable to get the full effect.

I think so. I actually sent it to school to my grandson's teacher to use for him.

I've used it to project some Youtube videos and also play a DVD from my laptop DVD player. It isn't perfect for showing movies because it isn't the brighest of projectors and it doesn't keep up with fast motion as in an action movie. I'd say that it is good enough to show a video clip or play a movie but it isn't going to be top quality home theater video. If the room is fairly dark it would probably look OK.

I definitely don't think so. It is more like a toy for a child. It works, but I wouldn't risk a class grade on it.

Yes it will but depending on your expectations. The lumens are enough we are currently using ours for school, it meets the need for the bucks. But if you are in advertising or high definitions is needed for your presentations, probably it will be better to invest in a more expensive model. If your presentations are more in-house I will say it ok, meets the needs and can be seen either in a darker room or with daylight with out any issue.

Yes. i used it for a photo editing class - switching back and forth between the apples at school and my PC at home. it was great.

It would be ok but the student may think it a bit juvenile for college.I bought this for our 8th grader.

i feel that it may be ok for class work,i have found it not good for recording music.i suggest --pay another 20.00 and get a good one.

I think that it could work pretty well, however some songs may not be heard as well as others. I use it for teaching dance and it fills up the room pretty well.

I don't believe so. My teenagers have watched movies without a problem. I myself haven't tried it but have no complaints. I hope it helps.

It's excellent for PowerPoint presentations. I can't see why it wouldn't work fine for classroom presentations

It's not cheap but it is worth it. Above all, it forces your stuff into the correct formats. Apparently Hollywood is very picky about their formats and this will do it for you. It has some very fancy bells and whistles, but I bet anything you won't use much of it. But the format thing, yeah, that will really help you no matter how talented you are.

It's a more complex build so I'd suggest it for a 6 year old. Overall it's meant for collectors who know the movies. It's not built for play.
