Canon U.S.A. Inc article - "A"

This article is about the Canon U.S.A., Inc. company bringing in numerous forms of digital technology to the classroom. They introduced the new equipment at the annual Florida Education and Technology Corporate Conference (FETC) hoping to show the vast knowledge students can learn through digital imaging. Some of the technology includes the new liquid crystal on silicone (LCoS) as opposed to the LCD screens, which will give a clearer image. Canon wants to better supply schools and teachers so that students can get the best education. The article also talks about how involved Canon is with education and incorporates a year-long competition called Canon Envirothon, which has students working on helping the environment.
I chose this article, because it showed me the new technology that will make its way into the classroom. In my blog, I talk about being excited for learning about technology and how it can be integrated in the classroom. This article relays the goals of Canon for having technology reach the schools. I find that I am constantly learning about new and different equipment that can be used in the classroom. This article lists over twelve different products that Canon has come out with; all of the products are not only geared for home use, but educators will find the equipment helping reduce the time in preparing lessons. I liked the fact that Canon is well connected with education and the environment, because those are two of the most important issues in our society.
