Purpose of ViziTech
1. To design and develop educational programs
for Educational training teams using innovative
technology.
2. To create 2D High Definition and 3D Virtual and Inter-
active programs that engage the students and creates a
virtual learning environment for the students.
3. To develop, build and provide industry leading
technology products to promote training and education
for Educational Organizations.
School Vision
Johnson County Fulfillment Best
The mission of the
Johnson County
School System is to
prepare all students
to meet or exceed
standards in order to
graduate on time
and be college and
career ready.
In order to truly ready
our students for their
future once they
graduate, we must
implement the best
technological products
out there to help
achieve our goals and
raise the expectations
for our students.
We want the best
for our students
now and in the
future, this
technology is
leading the way!
We need to adopt
this new technology
and let our students
lead the way.

Equipment and Software Needs
Console which is the AV Rover
Projector
Mixer Amplifier
DVD Player
Interactive Whiteboard
Speakers
Other options are available, those listed
above come with the system.
Technical Support always
available
The company manufacturing and selling
this equipment is right here in Eatonton,
GA
They will come and set up the equipment
and give training to teachers training is
minimal as it is very user friendly
They are relatively close-by, therefore,
readily available if needed to provide
support for teachers and administrators
Safety is the always the Key
The system is called the AVRover and is
contained in a cart format. It can be rolled
anywhere it is completely safe and user
friendly.
If it is accidentally bumped, it doesnt shut
down or have to be recalibrated it is safe
in its shell so to speak and continues
working
Content and Cost of Product
Content is customized based on a schools
needs for their students
Pricing is individualized since the system
is specified for individual needs; of course
the more extras added the cost increases
Base price for basic system is
approximately $10,000 for pre-built
program
No training or technical support fees
Possible Funding Sources
SPLOST funds for our county that are
specific to our schools technology needs
Possible grants that are available for Title I
school systems
Allotted technology funds
Possible media funds

Viewing and interacting
How can we use this technology?
Middle School Standard: (example)
L6-8RH7: Integrate visual information (e.g.,
in charts, graphs, photographs, videos, or
maps) with other information in print and
digital texts.
Charts, graphs and photographs are actually
created with the students help using
tablets or SmartPhones and interacting on
the whiteboard. These simulations are
done in 3-D enhancements.
How we can use this technology?
9
th
& 10
th
Grade Standard: (example)
L9-10WHST2: Write informative/explanatory
texts, including the narration of historical
events, scientific procedures/experiments,
or technical processes
The students in this class would actually see
the experiment as if they were performing
it and would interact straight from their
seat with the experiment.
Example of use in Biology
Students actually dissect various tissues
of animals, cells, membranes, etc.
virtually. There are over 300 dissectible
items that come with the system that aid in
learning and exploration of natural
anatomy and mechanical structures.
Cells come to life for the students when
they can actually look at the cell layer by
layer.
Differentiation for Students
Small groups could work in a different
environment through 3D-TV and 3D
glasses with the same digital content the
class is getting just in a smaller
environment
Works great when working with the tablets
or SmartPhones because this is done
individually and is exactly what some SWD
students require
Interaction with Others
With this advanced system our Elementary
school could actually work with our
Middle/High School
Classes could also work with others
regionally, nationally, or around the world
Many companies have this equipment and
could work with career classes at a high
school level within the CTAE classes

Why we need
this?
Research shows us this
Proven to increase test scores and
retention by as much as 33%
Actually increases student engagement
People generally remember (learning
activities) 90% of what they do this
technology allows students to simulate,
model and experience the lesson

Implementation Plan:
I would suggest implementing this plan in
the High School first beginning with the
11
th
& 12 grades since one of the biggest
areas of focus the system promotes is
science
I would like to see our system purchase
one AVRover system and integrate into
the High School science classes and then
see where that takes us
Implementation Plan
There would be no cost involved for
training, therefore, my suggestion would
be the day the equipment is delivered to
have all Science teachers accessible for
the technician to calibrate the system this
is only done once! Listen to the technician
for activation instructions: power on, power
off and thats it. It is very user friendly and
works with any surface screens,
whiteboards or the wall.
Implementation Plan:
Let the science teachers use and
implement the system into their lesson
plans for the year. Have them keep a diary
or log of how things are going in the
classroom with the students. Let the
students do surveys and grade the system
and how they feel about the new lessons
to get a feel for whether this is something
we would like to move forward with
Reflection
This is truly one of the most innovative
technology pieces that I have ever seen. It
is literally virtual and comes to life for
everyone involved. I can see that when
lessons come to life for students their
attention and curiosity is definitely peaked
and therefore they become engaged. We
must have this to reach them. I learned so
much from doing this research, even down
to realizing that the little things that I could
Reflection
do in the Media Center to engage the
students. We must make it relevant to
them and what is going on in their lives to
get them interested and motivated to
learn. I definitely feel that we are moving in
the right direction with technology within
our school, but feel that we could be on
the cutting edge of actually moving in the
right direction with this system. There are
50 schools in the state of Georgia that
have already implemented and their
Reflection:
praises are many! I could be wrong; but I
feel that within the near future this system
and equipment will be implemented in
schools just as we have seen the
SmartBoard in past years.
