This is the first of a series of articles looking at the use of data projectors and interactive whiteboards in the nursery. Both are an expensive investment and using them for the first time can be quite daunting, but the benefits are considerable. The first item to buy is the data projector; this can be used independently of an interactive whiteboard, whereas the whiteboard requires a data projector.
A data projector enables a practitioner to teach the whole class using a laptop or desktop PC. When connected to a computer, the image that appears on the screen can be projected on to a pull-down screen, a whiteboard, or a wall. You can also connect the projector to a TV, video player, camcorder or DVD player.
