Once teachers found out how easy the Extron AV system was to operate, it became an essential component for classroom instruction. We were also were impressed with Extron’s support structure and that their vision regarding technology matched our own.

The PoleVault system has been a nice addition to my class. I teach Video Production and Visual Design classes. Before we received it I had only planned to use it during a period that I had a hearing impaired student in the class. To my surprise I see myself using it every period now. The students have stated that they enjoy it more when it's being used because it is easier for them to hear me. They also enjoy it more when showing their videos because it feels like they are in the movie theatre. I have noticed an improvement in their performance and attention. It truly has made an improvement to my class.

I love the VoiceLift Microphone! I don’t have to raise my voice in times when the students are loud, I can simply use the microphone - so, it doesn’t wear my voice out as much. Also, I have a student that is hard of hearing, so she enjoys being able to hear me better without me having to shout her name to get her attention.
Blair Temple
K-1 Teacher - Math/Science/Social Studies

I feel the VoiceLift Microphone truly extends my classroom reading environment. Students also use the Microphone to share their work and enjoy practicing reading with expression. The VoiceLift Microphone brings little voices and books to life.

I really appreciate having the VoiceLift Microphone in my classroom. The kids can hear me in all areas of the room and if I forget to put it on in the morning, they remind me to go and get it.

Extron support personnel took the time to make sure the installation was successful at our middle school, and it has really made a difference. I greatly appreciate their willingness to help, as well as their knowledge, and professionalism. This level of service is one of the reasons why I would highly recommend Extron to any organization.

BSCS has high expectations for our students, instructional practices and technology solutions. Extron and the PoleVault solution have met and exceeded those expectations.

We want technology to be as easy to use as chalk. The Extron PoleVault solution meets that need by enabling teachers and substitutes to quickly learn how to operate the system.

Teaching with the PoleVault System has been a wonderful experience. We all know that students are visual learners, and with this technology, students are able to hear and see very clearly when I am introducing a new concept or trying to enrich an activity. My students are much more focused and much more on-task in terms of what's going on in the classroom... Read more

Taking a look at our end of semester assessments, it's clear that students are more engaged and even attendance is up compared to the last year at the old school. I think that has a lot to do with how our teachers are using the classroom technology. It's across the board, too. Even teachers with 30 or more years of experience have embraced the technology with impressive results.

PoleVault opens the world of multimedia resources to all teachers, because if you can push a button, you can use the PoleVault System. Teachers love it, and teacher enthusiasm is one thing you can't buy. With all of the equipment properly installed and the elimination of handheld IR remote controls, our teachers can now fully concentrate on teaching. Read more

The system is relatively maintenance-free. I think the classroom is just about the harshest environment for technology that you can imagine, but the PoleVault has performed flawlessly. One of the reasons we decided on Extron's PoleVault System and Digital Networks Group was that both companies have a great reputation for their service and reliability.

Extron GlobalViewer Enterprise software is my virtual support person. I'm not sure how I would support so many classrooms without the extensive monitoring, troubleshooting, and reporting capabilities of the software.

The staff reaction to PoleVault was immediate and positive. With only a few minutes of training, they knew how to operate the system, eliminating stress and allowing them to focus on the actual delivery of content.

The staff in our district use the PoleVault Systems every day, and depend upon them for delivering multimedia content and directly involving students in activities in an engaging and creative manner that truly integrates technology into the classroom.

We have found the Extron Polevault system to be reliable, simple to install, and easy to use.

One key benefit of Extron Classroom AV Systems is their transparency. They never go down and are so easy to use that our teachers hardly recognize how much technology is happening behind the scenes. Read more

The Extron PoleVault System provides ease of use for the end users and increases their productivity.

We utilize Extron networked controllers with GlobalViewer Enterprise to help manage our projectors district wide. We set designated shut-down times to conserve energy, run bulb life reports for supply forecasting, and inventory reports for auditing purposes.

Our students are really responding to lesson content presented with the PoleVault system. The visual capabilities help our students focus, and is much more effective than lecture alone.

One of the major benefits of the Extron system is its ease of operation. Some teachers missed training, but were immediately comfortable with the controller because of its intuitive and user friendly design.

Having all the Extron classrooms on the network has been extremely helpful for our limited support staff. The centralized lamp hour tracking of GlobalViewer Enterprise allows us to efficiently schedule lamp replacements across the whole district.
