Targus Voice Recording Presenter with Laser Pointer

The classroom stereotype has it that teachers often lag behind students when it comes to technology. That’s probably a reason why students would often be amazed when teachers pull out a gizmo for use in class. There was a time when using a laser pointer was high-tech and PowerPoint presentations shown through LCD projectors were enough to wow the students.

Here’s one gadget that brings the teacher in tune with 2008 – the Targus Voice Recording Presenter. It’s a 4-in-1 device that includes a PowerPoint presenter, a voice recorder, a SD memory card reader and a laser pointer. A total presentation package if you ask me.

The wireless connectivity enables the user to wander around for 50 feet while maintaining control over how the slides proceed. You don’t need to stand behind a lectern pressing keys on a laptop or clicking on mouse. The voice recording function allows the user to record the presentation for documentation. Talk about creating a podcast out of presentation! The audio is recorded on an SD card. If not recording, you can use it to read other SD cards for transfer to a PC via USB.

It’s a bit pricey through with the MSRP pegged at Php 4,200 (MSI-ECS Philippines).
