Connected Classrooms

One of the four components of the LPS CLASS Plan is the “Connected Classroom,” a systemic updating of infrastructure and classroom technology across LPS. Connected Classrooms are spaces where learners can see, hear, and interact with curricular and instructional resources. LPS supports digital delivery of instruction through the deployment of equipment that transforms traditional classrooms into Connected Classrooms where students and educators can see, interact with, hear and capture effective instruction.

Included in all LPS learning spaces are:

• Infrastructure: Core Network Switches in each building and Wireless Access Points in each classroom. A reliable wired and wireless infrastructure is foundational to a Connected Classroom.
• See: Wall-mounted, short-throw projectors or large format monitors
• Hear: Integrated audio systems

In some buildings, the following tools are used to further building improvement goals:

• Interact: Classroom tablet (iPad) and stand
• See: Wireless projection capability
• Capture: Integrated classroom distance learning and safety camera
