Case Study: Chase Secondary School achieves increased student interest and modernized classrooms with NEC Display Solutions

Chase Secondary School increases student interest with NEC display technology

Chase Secondary School in Chase, British Columbia faced outdated classroom technology—CRT monitors, overhead projectors and a limited number of shared projectors—that hindered teachers’ ability to engage students and apply modern learning methods. After winning NEC Display Solutions’ $25,000 Technology Makeover contest, the school partnered with NEC Display Solutions to replace aging equipment with M300WS projectors, 19” AccuSync AS191WM desktop monitors and a 42” E421 display.

NEC Display Solutions provided and helped deploy 12 M300WS projectors, 56 AccuSync AS191WM monitors and one 42” E421 display (installation completed January 2012), placing projectors in classrooms and a lab and the E421 at the main entrance. The upgrades let teachers stream videos, show websites and present wide-format content, enabled a new animation course, showcased student work, and—according to staff—boosted student interest, participation and grades while improving messaging and presentation capabilities across the school.
