New Mobile
Application Offers Comprehensive Feature-Set for Easy Classroom Integration
DOVER, NJ, September 30,
2014 —Technology is becoming more mainstream in the classroom and
educators are always seeking new ideas and tools to seamlessly integrate it
into their lessons. With budget cuts on the rise, the best education technologies
enable educators to do more with fewer resources. Casio
America, Inc. introduced a new, free
mobile application called C-Assist. C-Assist offers educators a suite of tools
that work wirelessly in conjunction with Casio’s portfolio of projectors,
including the Ultra Short Throw XJ-UT310WN.
“Classroom
technology should empower and enhance a teacher’s performance, in addition to
encourage a higher level of engagement among students,” said Matt Mustachio,
General Manager of Casio’s Business Projector Division. “With C-Assist,
teachers will have a full set of tools at their disposal which are tailored to
increase efficiency and dynamically transform the classroom.”
C-Assist
Mobile Application
C-Assist is compatible with both Apple® and Android®
platforms and enables educators to display and annotate content and
presentations directly from a mobile device. One additional function is remote
PC access which allows users to remotely access and display content on a PC
connected to the projector. Real-time projection of photos can be enabled by
activating the device camera with the dedicated app. This also allows educators
to use a mobile device as a hand-held document camera, which proves helpful for
projecting 3D objects in real-life circumstances. In addition, there is also an
image capture function using the mobile device’s camera to snap an image and
send it directly to a Casio
projector. While using C-Assist,
educators can also access the Web and project online content on a large screen.
Mirroring with Casio’s Calculators
As an added bonus, educators can display content directly from
Casio’s graphing calculators, including the color fx-CG10/PRIZM and ClassPad400. Mirroring content in real-time from the calculators
offers educators the chance to solve mathematical problems step-by-step, and
display graphs and content that would have otherwise needed additional software
or hardware. Simply plug the calculators’ USB cable into the projector
and you are ready to go.
