As an ongoing show of its dedication and support for the work that these individuals do each and every day, Casio America, Inc., a manufacturer of education technology, works to develop educational products that will assist teachers in the classroom.
Casio’s latest calculators and projectors offer features that not only aim to alleviate stress for teachers, but will also help to enhance student engagement.
