I will never use this.” This highlights the need for educators to emphasize real-world applications across all subjects.</p> <p>As an educator, I consistently strive to illustrate the practical applications of geography beyond the classroom walls. By incorporating real-world experiences and addressing problems, I aim to engage students and encourage them to devise solutions to these challenges. For instance, when discussing natural resources in geography, I pose a thought-provoking question: “What is something you cannot live without?” As students investigate everyday items, I emphasize that most of these products originate from nature at some point, prompting a discussion on the “true cost” of these goods.</p> <p>Throughout the unit, I invite a guest speaker who shares insights about their job duties and provides information related to environmental issues. This interaction helps students connect the dots, understanding that the products they use have origins in distant places, such as the Amazon rainforest. Despite it being thousands of miles away, I challenge students to consider why they should care.</p> <p>As students engage in a simulation of the rainforest, they begin to comprehend the alarming reality of its destruction, driven by the increasing demand for precious resources such as medicines, fruits, and beef. By the conclusion of the unit, students will participate in a debate, utilizing their research skills to argue for or against deforestation, exploring its implications for resources and products in relation to their daily lives. This approach not only enhances their understanding of geography but also creates a real-world connection that fosters a sense of responsibility toward the environment.</p> <p><strong>Creating a foundation to build upon </strong></p> <p>Engaging in academic discussions and navigating through academic content is essential for fostering a critical thinking mentality among students. However, it is often observed that this learning does not progress to deeper levels of thought. Establishing a solid foundation is crucial before advancing toward more meaningful and complex ideas.</p> <p>For instance, in our geography unit on urban sprawl, we start by understanding the various components related to urban sprawl. As we delve into the topic, I emphasize the importance of connecting our lessons to the local community. I pose the question: How can we identify an issue within the town of Lexington and address it while ensuring we do not contribute to urban sprawl?  Without a comprehensive foundation, students struggle to elevate their thinking to more sophisticated levels. Therefore, it is imperative to build this groundwork to enable students to engage in higher-order thinking effectively.</p> <p><strong>Interdisciplinary approaches </strong></p> <p>Incorporating an interdisciplinary approach can significantly enrich the learning process for students. When students recognize the connections between different subjects, they gain a deeper appreciation for the relevance of their education. According to Moser et. al (2019), “Integrative teaching benefits middle-level learners as it potentially increases student engagement, motivation, and achievement. It provides learners with the opportunity to synthesize knowledge by exploring topics and ideas through multiple lenses.” This method emphasizes the importance of making meaningful connections that deepen students’ comprehension. As they engage with the content from different perspectives, students will apply their learning in real-world contexts.</p> <p>For instance, principles from science can be linked to literature they are studying in English class. Similarly, concepts from physics can be applied to understand advancements in medical studies. By fostering these connections, students are encouraged to think critically and appreciate the interrelated nature of knowledge.</p> <p><strong>Incorporating technology within classrooms</strong></p> <p>In today’s digital world, where technology is readily accessible, it is crucial for classroom learning to align with current technological trends and innovations. Educators who do not incorporate technology into their teaching practices are missing an opportunity to enhance student learning experiences. In my class, I have students explore their designated area using Google Earth, which we previously outlined. Each student selected a specific region to concentrate on during their analysis. This process involves identifying areas that require improvement and discussing how it can benefit the community. Additionally, we examine how these changes can help limit urban sprawl and reduce traffic congestion.</p> <p>We have moved beyond the era of relying solely on paper copies and worksheets; the focus now is on adapting to change and providing the best opportunities for students to express themselves and expand their knowledge. As Levin & Wadmany (2014) observe, “some teachers find that technology encourages greater student-centeredness, greater openness toward multiple perspectives on problems, and greater willingness to experiment in their teaching.” This highlights the necessity for teachers to evolve into facilitators of learning, acting as guides who support students taking ownership of their learning.</p> <p><strong>Strategies for implementation</strong></p> <p><strong>1. Start with the “why”:</strong> Teachers should critically consider the significance of their instructional approaches: Why is this method or content essential for students’ learning? Having a clear vision of the desired learning outcomes enables educators plan effectively and what instructional strategies to use. This intentionality is crucial.</p> <p><strong>2. Use authentic materials:</strong> Incorporating meaningful text that involves real-world concepts can significantly enhance students’ engagement. For instance, in social studies class discussing renewable energy can lead to academic discussion or projects where students research about local initiatives in their community.</p> <p><strong>3. Promote critical thinking:</strong> Encourage students to engage in critical thinking by asking open-ended questions, creating opportunities for debates to challenge their ideas, and urging them to articulate and defend their viewpoints.</p> <p><strong>4. Encourage collaboration:</strong> Students excel in collaborative learning environment, such as group projects and peer reviews where they can engage with their classmates. These activities allow them to learn from each other and view different perspectives.</p> <p><strong>5. Provide ongoing feedback: </strong>Providing constructive feedback is essential for helping students identify their strengths and areas for improvements. By having planned check-ins, teachers can tailor their instruction to ensure that they are meeting the academic needs of individual students.</p> <p><strong><em>References</em></strong></p> <p>Levin, T., & Wadmany, R.

One estimate put the cost of potholes to the UK economy at <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/britains-pothole-nightmare-damaged-road-33832788">£14bn last year</a>.</p> <p>Research <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/feb/03/farewell-potholes-uk-team-invents-self-healing-road-surface">published last week</a> by Swansea University provides a real solution to this critical problem. Adding plant spores to bitumen will create a self-healing road surface that can extend its lifespan by 30%.</p> <p>This speaks directly to the Secretary of State for Education’s five key priorities for reform of the higher education system – that<strong> universities should play a great civic role in their communities</strong>.</p> <p>Local communities and businesses need to benefit fully from the work of higher education institutions, Bridget Phillipson <a href="https://wonkhe.com/wp-content/wonkhe-uploads/2024/11/Letter-from-the-Education-Secretary-4.11.24.pdf">wrote to the sector</a> in November last year and as Debbie McVitty recently covered over at Wonkhe. This research will help individual drivers, councils across the country and UK industry.</p> <p>But another thing that is so exciting about this discovery is where it came from. Swansea University, on the south coast of Wales and an institution whose Vice Chancellor <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ceve8p4w1k0o">in the last week has said</a> higher education in Wales is facing ‘the toughest [financial] position that we’ve been in’, is showing what its academics are capable of, given the right resources.</p> <p>And that leads to the second place where this research originated.</p> <p>One of those involved is Dr Jose Norambuena-Contreras, a Senior Lecturer in Swansea’s Department of Civil Engineering, originally from Chile, while Dr Francisco Martin-Martinez is a Lecturer at King’s College London’s Chemistry Department who hails from Spain.</p> <p>It is also notable that this news came out on the day that Keir Starmer became the first UK prime minister to join a gathering with EU leaders since Brexit.</p> <p>While rejoining the EU’s single market is firmly off the cards, a deal on youth mobility is an obvious open goal. Some <a href="https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/majority-voters-back-migration-brexit-reset-poll-3512785?srsltid=AfmBOopKSViyDVxZ3aO1v_YUo4lUmNm6Fl5ttJcaIOT3DRvnu13m2XUn">57% of voters</a> recently backed a scheme for the under 30s, in addition to polling last year <a href="https://www.whatukthinks.org/eu/questions/do-you-think-the-youth-mobility-scheme-is-a-good-or-bad-idea/">finding 58% thinking a scheme</a> is a good idea.</p> <p>The UK Science and Tech Secretary, Peter Kyle, rightly met with EU counterparts in January to <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-redoubles-horizon-push-as-kyle-forges-deeper-ri-links-with-eu">push to turbo-charge</a> UK-EU science and technology links in a bid to tackle shared global challenges.</p> <p>Potholes in the UK might just be a small part of the UK’s challenge. But as Norambuena-Contreras puts it, it’s a ‘very sexy topic’ that British people like to talk about. If researchers can continue to identify problem areas that resonate with local communities and industry, they’ll be on to a winner.</p> <p>International talent is, and will continue to be, key to solving crises across the UK. If only researchers at the country’s top business schools were empowered to find solutions to filling higher education’s financial gaps in the same way as others can for potholes.</p> <p>Jessica Turner, CEO at QS Quacquarelli Symonds, commented:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>The UK’s universities are not just centres of learning—they are engines of economic transformation and real-world problem-solving.</p> <p>Research from the University of Bristol released this week – showing that it contributed <a href="https://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2025/february-/university-contributes-millions-to-economy.html">£1.13 billion</a> to the West of England economy in 2022/23 – is just one example of that.</p> <p>Swansea University’s ground-fixing research is a perfect example of how higher education drives innovation with tangible benefits for communities, industries, and the economy,” Turner added.</p> <p>As the <a href="https://www.qs.com/reports-whitepapers/uk-spotlight-qs-world-future-skills-index/"><strong>QS World Future Skills Index</strong></a> highlights, the UK is a global leader in academic readiness and future workforce skills.

The past few years have been characterized by fresh and innovative solutions for learning, as well as transformative, technology-forward approaches to education.  </p> <p>Each year, we like to look ahead and anticipate <a href="https://www.eschoolnews.com/innovative-teaching/2024/01/31/5-of-the-biggest-education-trends-in-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the biggest upcoming education trends</a>. There are many topics education professionals can expect to be at the center of the conversation in 2025–from new perspectives on artificial intelligence for education to the emergence of nontraditional school models amid an increasingly competitive enrollment environment. </p> <p>For 2025, schools and districts are focused on making learning more engaging for students, creating a more positive environment for educators, and transforming school culture to meet the diverse needs of the school community. As schools work to accomplish these goals, we expect to see an expansion of AI and other emerging technologies in the classroom, enhanced professional development and support for teachers, and more individualized learning opportunities for students. </p> <p><strong>Here are five of the biggest education trends for 2025:</strong> </p> <p><strong>1. Nontraditional school models</strong> </p> <ol start="1" class="wp-block-list"/> <p>Everything from career opportunities, technology, and the world around us has changed significantly over the past decade, yet the traditional model of public schools in the U.S. has remained largely unchanged for generations. As this industrial-age school model persists, many students feel bored and disengaged with their learning.  </p> <p>When the COVID-19 pandemic caused school interruptions in 2020, many families decided it was time to pivot to new and nontraditional learning opportunities for their children. Since 2019, <a href="https://www.chalkbeat.org/2023/2/9/23591903/school-enrollment-data-decline-covid-attendance/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">over 1 million students</a>–the equivalent of one student from every class in the country–have left the conventional classroom to seek out different educational approaches and more innovative learning environments. The <a href="https://www.the74million.org/article/interactive-in-many-schools-declines-in-student-enrollment-are-here-to-stay/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Center for Education Statistics</a> projects that public schools, including public charter schools, will lose an additional 2.4 million students by 2031.  </p> <p>Today’s students desire more individualized learning approaches, which empower them to use their creativity, explore their passions, and engage with their peers in more collaborative ways. In 2025, we will see a greater emergence of nontraditional school models that center student engagement, collaboration, and creativity, and prepare learners to graduate into a continually-evolving workforce.  </p> <p>Some of these emerging nontraditional education models include microschools, online and hybrid learning programs, and project-based or student-led schools, as well as long-established nontraditional school programs such as homeschooling, Montessori, and career and technical education schools. In 2025, we also anticipate that public schools will step up to meet the diverse needs of students through innovative approaches, mirroring some of the elements of these nontraditional school models in order to maintain enrollment, enhance engagement, and equip students with applicable career-ready skills. </p> <p><strong>2. Expanded use of AI in education</strong> </p> <ol start="2" class="wp-block-list"/> <p><a href="https://www.eschoolnews.com/innovative-teaching/2024/01/31/5-of-the-biggest-education-trends-in-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">As we predicted last year</a>, artificial intelligence (AI) has become prevalent in the educational space, and this emerging technology shows no sign of stopping its rapid growth as we make our way into 2025. This year, we expect the conversation around AI to shift, reflecting a more widespread acceptance of the technology as a beneficial tool to enhance education and productivity. </p> <p>In 2025, schools will continue to <a href="https://ai4k12.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">integrate more AI into the curriculum</a>, guiding students to use it appropriately to enhance their learning. Many schools and districts have already developed formal AI school policies and modified student codes of conduct to ensure safe, effective, and ethical use of AI tools in the classroom.  </p> <p>Furthermore, many educators are now taking the initiative to incorporate AI tools into their lesson plans to help students build familiarity with the technology. Introducing students to AI in a safe and controlled environment enables them to learn how to use it effectively and ethically. Equipping students with foundational skills in AI is already regarded as an essential skill set for college and many careers. </p> <p>Because AI is a fairly new technology for everyone, including educators, we anticipate that more schools will implement AI professional development opportunities this year, enabling teachers to deliver more effective AI instruction. Some schools are also beginning to employ AI tools for administrative productivity, which will require training and guidance to ensure educators and staff can successfully integrate these tools into their work. </p> <p><strong>3. Targeted support for educators </strong> </p> <ol start="3" class="wp-block-list"/> <p>Over the past five years, many districts have been focused on allocating <a href="https://www.ed.gov/grants-and-programs/formula-grants/response-formula-grants/covid-19-emergency-relief-grants/elementary-and-secondary-school-emergency-relief-fund#:~:text=Congress%20set%20aside%20approximately%20$13.2,Relief%20Fund%20(ESSER%20Fund)." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funding</a> to implement new educational programs and tools, support student wellbeing, and overcome learning loss. Now that the final ESSER deadline has passed, 2025 will see schools and districts shift their attention to providing targeted support directly to educators.  </p> <p>With all of the new technology, refreshed learning spaces, and updated curriculum districts have recently introduced, professional development is essential to ensure effective implementation of these enhancements. In 2025, schools will incorporate new <a href="https://pdbymien.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">professional development programs</a> that empower educators to foster engaged learners. By providing the tools and resources teachers need to be successful, schools can help educators improve their productivity and attain professional goals, while still keeping teacher wellbeing as a top priority. </p> <p>Teachers are the primary influencers of the K-12 educational experience, so supporting educators is a holistic approach that benefits the entire school community. To address rising workloads, schools will implement new tools and strategies to support teacher efficacy and wellbeing. Some schools are even piloting automated and AI-powered technologies to take repetitive and administrative tasks off teachers’ plates, freeing up invaluable time for them to connect with students and focus on teaching.  </p> <p>Additionally, districts have begun to recognize the importance of a healthy work-life balance, as many teachers have left the profession over the past several years. In 2025, districts will continue to explore ways to cultivate a more positive job experience for teachers. Teachers want solutions for student behavioral issues, more attentive leadership teams, and more manageable workloads. Schools will work to improve these matters, while maintaining aspects of the job teachers value most, including school culture, opportunities for professional learning and certifications, and STEM and arts programs. </p> <p><strong>4.</strong> <strong>A focus on school and district culture</strong> </p> <ol start="4" class="wp-block-list"/> <p>With a growing list of education options, students and their families are seeking out learning environments that not only provide high-quality curriculum and resources, but also align with their values and prioritize school-home communication. In this increasingly competitive enrollment environment, cultivating a positive culture and connected school community are the qualities that make schools stand out.  </p> <p>Funding and resources are directly related to the number of students at each school, so cultivating an inviting school culture is key. In 2025, schools and districts will take time to refine their school brand in order to attract and maintain students. School leaders will focus on creating more opportunities to engage with students and families, implementing new communications tools, initiatives, and events that bring the school community together. </p> <p>In the past few years, some K-12 administrators have piloted <a href="https://miencompany.com/transforming-school-leadership-mobile-teaching-stations/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mobile teaching stations</a> to increase their visibility and daily impact throughout their school. We anticipate more school leaders will embrace this approach in 2025, enabling them to build stronger relationships with students and teachers. By working from <a href="https://miencompany.com/product-category/teacher-stations/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mobile workstations</a>, administrators can directly engage with students and staff, making face-to-face connections on a daily basis. Frequent positive interactions with school leadership help students, teachers, and families stay engaged with the school community, promoting a culture of connection and support. </p> <p><strong>5. Universal design for learning</strong> </p> <ol start="5" class="wp-block-list"/> <p>Today’s students are making more choices about how and where they want to learn than ever before. Universal design for learning (UDL) promotes achievement among diverse student bodies by giving each student access to resources and environments that help them learn. Accessibility goes far beyond ADA compliance, and schools are recognizing this through the application of UDL across the learning experience. Understanding the diverse needs of students is crucial for creating learning experiences that are inclusive and supportive. </p> <p>In 2025, UDL will be at the center of creating comfortable and engaging learning environments that accommodate all students’ needs. For instance, more schools are implementing <a href="https://miencompany.com/designing-sensory-spaces-in-schools/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sensory spaces</a>, ensuring <a href="https://miencompany.com/resources/white-papers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">neurodiverse learners</a> have a safe and comfortable space to self-regulate throughout the school day. These spaces don’t just serve neurodivergent students–all students benefit from having areas at school that are dedicated to supporting wellbeing. </p> <p>As in previous years, accessibility and equity will continue to be prominent topics in 2025, but the conversation will pivot to focus on ways UDL can positively impact curriculum. UDL emphasizes providing students with multiple, flexible types of engagement, different ways of presenting information, and multiple ways to demonstrate their understanding in the classroom. This practice supports students who are neurodivergent and/or experience learning challenges, but also improves the learning experience for neurotypical students. </p> <div class="abh_box abh_box_custom abh_box_minimal"> <div class="abh_tab_content"> <section class="vcard author abh_about_tab abh_tab" itemscope="" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" style="display:block"> <div class="abh_text"> <div class="description note abh_description" itemprop="description" style="font-size:16px !important;"><strong>Dr. Christina Counts, MiEN Environments</strong></p> <p>Dr. Christina Counts, VP of Education at <a href="https://www.miencompany.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MiEN Environments</a>, is a proven leader with over 17 years of experience transforming learning spaces.

It’s a perfect launchpad for individuals ready to shape the future of education at the intersection of academia and industry.</p> <p>Joining this team means stepping into a vibrant, forward-thinking environment where your contributions will be valued, your ideas will have impact and you’ll have the space to grow, innovate and truly make a difference. </p> <p>I’m truly excited to welcome a dynamic new partner to our team—could it be you?</p> </div> <p><a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/opinion/blogs/learning-innovation/2025/01/22/featured-gig-chief-education-solutions-officer">Source link </a></p> </div> <div style="margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);" class="wp-block-post-date has-small-font-size"><time datetime="2025-01-22T08:00:00+00:00"><a href="https://blog.college-counseling.com/chief-education-solutions-officer-at-michigan/">January 22, 2025</a></time></div> </div> </li><li class="wp-block-post post-1824 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-class category-collaboration category-featured category-help category-high-school category-newsline category-projectors category-research category-school category-solutions category-state tag-benqs tag-chooses tag-class tag-collaboration tag-golf tag-help tag-high tag-high-school tag-lab tag-lk936st tag-marian tag-projector tag-projectors tag-research tag-school tag-simulator tag-solutions tag-state tag-training"> <div class="wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained" style="padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)"> <figure style="aspect-ratio:3/2;" class="wp-block-post-featured-image"><a href="https://blog.college-counseling.com/marian-high-school-chooses-benqs-lk936st-golf-simulator-projector-for-new-golf-training-lab/" target="_self" ><img loading="lazy" width="500" height="394" src="https://blog.college-counseling.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Marian-High-School-Chooses-BenQs-LK936ST-Golf-Simulator-Projector-for.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Marian High School Chooses BenQ’s LK936ST Golf Simulator Projector for New Golf Training Lab" style="width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;" decoding="async" srcset="https://blog.college-counseling.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Marian-High-School-Chooses-BenQs-LK936ST-Golf-Simulator-Projector-for.jpg 500w, https://blog.college-counseling.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Marian-High-School-Chooses-BenQs-LK936ST-Golf-Simulator-Projector-for-300x236.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-post-title has-x-large-font-size"><a href="https://blog.college-counseling.com/marian-high-school-chooses-benqs-lk936st-golf-simulator-projector-for-new-golf-training-lab/" target="_self" >Marian High School Chooses BenQ’s LK936ST Golf Simulator Projector for New Golf Training Lab</a></h2> <div class="entry-content alignfull wp-block-post-content has-medium-font-size has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-post-content-is-layout-constrained"><div itemprop="text"> <p><strong>COSTA MESA, Calif. — </strong><a href="https://www.benq.com/en-us/business/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BenQ</a>, an internationally renowned provider of visual display and collaboration solutions, today announced that Marian High School in Omaha, Nebraska, selected and installed two BenQ LK936ST 4K HDR short-throw golf simulator projectors for its golf sim Golf Training Lab at the Marian Athletic Center. In 2024, the Marian girls’ golf team became the undefeated Nebraska State Champions in Class A golf. Designed to help analyze and improve the golfers’ swings and give them the ability to practice in all weather conditions, the Marian Golf Training Lab provides the girls’ high school and junior teams with an immersive and realistic golf course environment. Based on research and recommendations from golf simulation experts, Marian High School chose the BenQ LK936ST for its exceptional color accuracy, powerful brightness, and maintenance-free operation.</p> <p>Head Coach Robert Davis led the effort to build the Golf Training Lab, which includes two golf simulator bays featuring Carl’s Place 16×10 impact screens and ProTee VX launch monitors. Seeking a high-performance projector that could deliver realistic course visuals, bright images in a well-lit environment, and long-term, maintenance-free operation, Davis consulted with golf simulator manufacturers and reviewers. After thorough research, BenQ’s LK936ST emerged as the top choice.</p> <p>“Our athletes benefit from an experience that’s as close as you can get to being on an actual course,” said Davis. “When we pull up courses, you can see distinct leaves on the trees. That level of realism not only makes training more effective but also more enjoyable.”</p> <p>The BenQ LK936ST’s 4K UHD resolution, combined with BenQ’s exclusive Golf Mode, ensures a highly detailed, true-to-life golfing experience. Its 5,100 lumens of brightness allow it to perform exceptionally well in the Marian Athletic Center’s brightly lit environment, ensuring clear visuals even without dimming the lights. Additionally, its short-throw lens and advanced installation tools — such as digital shrink, lens shift, and keystone correction — allow for a flexible and seamless setup within the limited space of the simulator bays.</p> <p>“The golf simulation market has grown rapidly as more schools, athletes, and enthusiasts seek ways to improve their game year-round,” said Bob Wudeck, senior director of business development at BenQ America Corp. “With the LK936ST, we’ve provided everything a golf simulator needs to deliver a truly immersive experience. Its 4K resolution, high brightness, and laser-powered color accuracy ensure that golfers can see every detail with precision, whether it’s the grain of the greens or the clear blue sky. By combining these features, we’ve created a projector that meets the high standards required for today’s golf training environments.”</p> <p>The BenQ LK936ST is engineered to provide a truly immersive and precise golf simulation experience, making it an ideal choice for Marian High School’s Golf Training Lab. With a 4K UHD resolution powered by Texas Instruments’ DLP chip technology, it delivers razor-sharp visuals and a stunning 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, which allows for enhanced graphics and a lifelike recreation of the world’s top golf courses. Its exclusive Golf Mode, designed specifically for golf simulation, reproduces the vivid greens and brilliant blues of fairways and skies, offering 92% of the Rec. 709 color gamut for true-to-life color accuracy. This unprecedented visual fidelity helps golfers maintain their focus and engagement, simulating real-world conditions to perfect their game.</p> <p>In addition to its color and image quality, the LK936ST is designed to excel in challenging environments. The projector’s short-throw lens (0.81-0.89) and 1.1x zoom capacity make it easy to install outside of the swing zone, projecting a large image without casting shadows on the screen. Digital shrink, offset, lens shift, keystone correction, and corner fit provide advanced installation flexibility, enabling perfect alignment with the screen, even in tight or unconventional spaces like garages, basements, or smaller training rooms.</p> <p>Built for long-lasting, maintenance-free operation, the LK936ST features a sealed IP5X-rated dustproof optical engine, eliminating the need for filter changes and ensuring optimal performance even in dusty environments. Its laser light source guarantees 20,000 hours of use with consistent color and brightness, far outlasting traditional lamp-based projectors. The projector also offers instant power-up without the need for warm-up or cool-down times, allowing golfers to jump straight into their training. With multiple HDMI inputs and networking options, it integrates easily with other entertainment or training components, making it a versatile centerpiece for not only golf simulations but also home theater and gaming setups.</p> <p>More information on the BenQ LK936ST 4K HDR short-throw golf simulator projector is available at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.benq.com/en-us/business/projector/lk936st.html?utm_campaign=eB2B::%20Golf%20Simulation&utm_source=Ingear%20/%20PR&utm_medium=Press%20release">bit.ly/3na585n</a>.</p> <p><strong>About BenQ America — Business & Education Solutions</strong><br />The No. 1 selling global projector brand powered by TI DLP technology, according to Futuresource, the BenQ digital lifestyle brand stands for “Bringing Enjoyment and Quality to Life,” fusing ease of use with productivity and aesthetics with purpose-built engineering.
