"Ask any educator who has incorporated an Epson projector into their teaching, and you will hear how it makes them more effective in the classroom," said Heather Litus Johnston, product manager, K-12 Education Projector Marketing, Epson America Inc. "Our microphone input allows teachers to better capture students' attention without straining their voices, and along with the projector's ability to deliver outstanding color performance, helps teachers better keep students engaged."
