How it works

• The technology that was used in this project includes:

• •• Display Devices: The display devices include three 103-inch Panasonic displays on the front wall, one 65-inch Panasonic display below the plasmas for viewing content, two additional 50-inch displays for content support, one 42-inch Panasonic display for additional viewing during a Telepresence call, and a Smart Symposium interactive pen display that allows users to annotate over a computer image or blank screen.

Being Child

How it works

• • The three large plasmas are located on a custom steel wall structure and fabricated by Custom Display Solutions. The room’s existing wall structure was disassembled, and Being Child

• the material was reused to be cost efficient and eco-friendly. The new wall is equipped to handle the significant weight load of the large plasmas, and features a pull-out mechanism to allow service of the displays without removing them from the wall. A motorized tilt mechanism was installed to provide participants different angles for viewing the 65-inch display, and so that it could be easily folded back into the wall.

Being Child

How it works

• The presenter can make annotations on the Smart Symposiums, and its content will be displayed for the Telepresence room participants on the far end of one of the three plasmas.

• • Audio System: The audio system includes a Biamp Audio FLEX Audio Matrix, Clock Audio in-table microphones with an FSR push-to-talk custom ring, Clock Audio ceiling-mounted microphones, Tannoy wall-mounted speakers, dual concentric ceiling speakers, and wall-mounted left-center-right speakers.

• • The Biamp Audio FLEX is an open-frame digital signal processor. This flexible architecture was necessary because of the amount of processing and routing that is required among the numerous microphones and codecs, audio sources and hybrids, and speaker zones. Biamp’s product allowed engineering team to design a system with full control over the routing, auto-mixing, processing, feedback suppression, and equalization.

Being Child

How it works

• The microphone and audio system was designed to allow a selection of up to six preferences, including push-and-hold-to-talk, toggle on/off, and voice-activated with/without camera video switch selections.

• • To represent a live conferencing experience, 30 microphones are capable of being on all the time so that a participant can speak freely, and the appropriate microphone

• Being Child

• will deliver the audio. The microphones also come with a ―look at me‖ function; they are programmed so that when the speaker pushes a button, a camera will zoom-in and deliver a head shot to the far end.

• • The left-center-right speaker system was installed with zoned ceiling speakers to allow for proper room coverage and support for audio conferencing, Telepresence calls, and local presentations.

Being Child

How it works

• •• Video−Conferencing System: The video-conferencing system includes multiple Cisco Telepresence codecs and cameras, Sony HD video-conferencing cameras, Extron amplifiers, Barco HD image processors, and Aurrora HDMI matrix switchers.

• Seven cameras are dedicated to capture room views: three are fixed Telepresence cameras, three are left-center-right cameras, and one is a podium camera to capture the presenter.

• To help ensure the optimal Telepresence experience, transitioning between camera shots needed to be smooth.

• • For example, a typical Telepresence camera view is a room view, representing the experience of a true in-person meeting. Given the 60-person capacity of this room, the cameras were configured to pan or zoom-in on two participants at a time for a life-size view from other Telepresence rooms. The camera configuration and matrix switchers allow for the smooth transition between room and close-up views at 1080p resolution.

Being Child

How it works

• •• Control System: The control system includes Crestron control system processors and a touch panel.

• • −− Control of this complex room was made simple with four modes of operation: presentation mode, which allows users to show any source on any of the screens; conference mode for audio and video conferencing; Telepresence mode, which configures the room for Telepresence use; and tools mode for administrator functions.

• • −− The Crestron touch panel controls many of the conference room’s functions with customized presets, including light presets to create the proper level of lighting in the room for a Telepresence call or local presentation, and camera presets for the ability to adjust all 30 microphone/camera locations.

• • −− The control panel is located in front of the plasmas on a podium, and it is from this location that the presenter can perform functions such as sending content to the far end. The Telepresence codec is controlled through a Cisco Call Manager.

• • −− Cisco IP phones help maintain ease of use and allow for one-touch scheduling of Telepresence meetings..

• Benefit #1 – Learning Time Management and Prioritizing • One great benefit of your teen being involved in extracurricular activities is that they will

learn about time management and prioritizing things in their life. As adults we get very used to juggling a variety of different tasks and commitments. Our teens need to learn how to do this as well, and getting involved in these activities can give them some practice at it.

• Benefit #2 – Getting Involved in Diverse Interests • Getting involved in extracurricular activities also allows students to get involved in diverse

interests. It is important for your teen to be very diverse in their interests. These activities allow them to explore various interests that they may have.

• Benefit #3 – Learning About Long Term Commitments • • – Teens learn about long term commitments when they are involved in extracurricular

activities as well, which is another excellent benefit. When the join one of the Being Child • activities or clubs, they commit themselves to that activity for a period of time. If they don't

hold up to their end of the deal, no doubt they'll hear about it from their peers and perhaps even teachers. Learning to take on commitments is important, and these activities can teach your child this important lesson.

that they are getting away from just thinking about themselves and contributing to something else. This is important in their growth as a person.

• Benefit #5 – Raises self esteem • Many times, being involved in extracurricular activities helps to raise the self esteem of

teens. There are many teens that feel worthless or that there is nothing they are good at. Teens struggle with self esteem, and these activities are a way that they can build self esteem. Everyone wants to find something that they are really good at, and extracurricular activities provide them with a way that they can get involved in something and really shine, giving their self esteem a boost.

• Benefit #6 – Building Solid Relationship Skills • Your teen will have the benefit of building solid relationship skills as well when they get

that it looks great on college applications. Most colleges not only look at grades, but they take a look at extracurricular activities that students are involved in while they are in high school. They want to see that students are getting out there and doing more than just book work. The activities that teens are involved in reveal a lot about them, and definitely will say something to the college admissions committees.

How much is too much…!!!

• Of course, while there are definitely many excellent benefits to extracurricular activities for your teens, you need to consider how much is too much. Getting involved in a few different activities can be a great choice, and is definitely beneficial, but too many activities can end up having negative effects. Teens involved in too many activities often end up having academic problems, or they may not get the rest and recreation that they need. It's important that you talk to your teen and set some limits to extracurricular activities. Have them pick out a couple of their favorites and make sure they can handle them. For freshmen, you may even want to limit the activities to one, until you see how they handle the activity and their school work. Then they can work up to balancing more activities if they perform well. Some kids feel like they have to be involved in many activities to be a success, and this is not beneficial to them. It's important that kids don't try to "do it all," but that they have a passion and commitment to a few activities, which definitely builds character.

• • If your kids want to get involved in extracurricular activities, let them. There are definitely excellent benefits that they'll enjoy. While it can be tough to play taxi driver to all these activities, keep in mind that you are doing it for their well being and future success. Just make sure you put your foot down if they try to take these activities too far.
