Hartley Bay School is in a exceptionally remote location on the coast of BC. This makes the logistics of organizing a training session challenging, time consuming and financially taxing. As such our school was very excited about the opportunity to organize a training session with Points West through video conferencing. Points West was engaged and helpful at every level of organizing the video training session. Moreover, despites some very minor glitches, the training session was tantamount to having our instructor in the room with us. The picture was clear and crisp. The audio was vibrant and coherent. Hartley Bay School’s experience with Points West and video conferencing was tremendously efficient, effective and educational.

“Teachers and students have truly benefitted from the sound field systems. Student attention increases, especially in the peripheral areas of the classroom. Students are also more engaged when they have the opportunity to use the microphones themselves for presentations or speaking up in class. Ultimately, improved student engagement and attention leads to improved results. Furthermore, teachers love them as it enable them to lower their voices to normal, therefore saving their vocal chords.”

As the principal of Hutton Elementary School I have had the pleasure of working with Points West Audio Visual for the last two years. Our school has filled all classrooms with projectors, document cameras, and SMART boards. The Points West team, and Tracey Cochrane in particular, have provided exceptional service to us throughout the process. They are readily available on the phone whenever I have questions. Through Tracey’s guidance and help, we are now installing “FrontRow” sound-field systems throughout our 12 classroom school. Their service is having a very positive impact on student learning and engagement in our school.
Great Support and Service!
