Quote on installing large TV into Gym, classroom, hall

A big thank you to the board of trustees of Papakura High for approving the installation of a TV in the gym

In a previous posts I discussed the benefits of using video delay in PE and ports coaching to give real and instant feedback

After discussion and thought we choose a TV over projection. Here are the reasons

• Projection is not suitable in a gym where lighting is important. A TV has a sharper and clearer resolution
• TV's are now comparable in price to projection
• Apple TV and chrome casting is possible with a TV
• TV's can be protected with bullet proof glass
