Chromebook

The Solo Spark II is the sensible choice when you want a visualiser on every teacher's desk rather than one shared between a floor. It does the core job well — put the page on the screen, zoom in, record the lesson — at a price that makes buying several realistic. Key features 8 megapixel sensor with autofocus, 3264 x 2448 resolution 4K at 20fps, 1080p at 45fps 80x total zoom, combining 8x digital and 10x mechanical A3 scan area, three-pivot arm, desktop design Powered by a single USB 3.0 cable, with a built-in microphone Compatible with PC, Mac and Chromebook Free Flex software: live annotation, picture-in-picture and lesson recording Five-year warranty Why it helps in the classroom Chromebook compatibility matters more than it sounds — plenty of visualisers assume a Windows laptop, and a lot of Australian classrooms no longer have one. The Spark II works either way, needs no power point, and the five-year warranty is longer than most document cameras at any price. Purchase orders are welcome from schools and government institutions.

A moulded hard case for a laptop or Chromebook — rigid rather than padded, so it resists being crushed at the bottom of a school bag or stacked in a trolley. The right choice where devices get handled roughly and a soft sleeve isn't enough. What it does: Rigid moulded EVA shell that holds its shape under load Zip closure with a padded interior Slim enough to stack or shelve Choose your size: 11.6–11.7" — the common Chromebook size for primary and junior secondary 12.1" 12.5–14.1" Core hard shell 13.3" — a slimmer, firmer alternative at the same size Class quantities available. Purchase orders accepted on school accounts.
