Greenwood High School | Logitech

As Co-Advisor of Greenwood’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Club and as a Professional Communication and Speech Educator, Natalie realized a need for a tech solution that would enable all students to meet with more business leaders virtually - while also building their communication and overall professionalism.

To address this need, Natalie incorporated Logitech’s C920E Business Webcam in her classroom’s student workstations. The 1:1 webcam setup allowed for students to have an individual, more personalized experience with industry professionals which is important for student growth.

“The Logitech C920E surpasses the audio and visual quality of a traditional Chromebook or laptop. These webcam devices give my students real-world experience with advanced business-industry hardware,” said Natalie Dyer.

Ideal for video-based assignments and online collaboration, the C920e provides 1080p HD video with a 78° field of view that captures a “just-right” view of the user and their environment while also providing sufficient room to visually share projects of interest. It also includes dual integrated omnidirectional mics to capture your voice from up to one meter away so conversations always sound natural and clear. 

C920e is Certified for Zoom®, Google Meet® and compatible with Microsoft Teams® and other popular video conferencing apps.

With Logitech’s C920E webcams, Natalie was able to engage in-class and online students in more meetings and virtual field trips with members of the business community. Students are able to see these professionals in their real business settings, learn about their career paths, get advice and see examples of their work (graphic design, multimedia projects, etc). They can also display their faces during live Zoom or Google Meets and participate in more collaborative discussions.  

“It is a challenge to find professionals willing to give up a portion of their day to speak to students about their career experiences and responsibilities,” said Natalie. “With the virtual option now available, it takes less time for guests to attend virtual meetings and geography is no longer an issue.” 

“One of our meetings was with a college counselor from Western Kentucky University. He discussed with students opportunities for financial aid and scholarships, and then explained a senior checklist for students planning to attend college,” said Natalie Dyer. 

In her Business Communications classes, students are now able to record professional-quality videos of themselves for their speaking assignments. This allows them to better evaluate critical aspects of effective communication such as body language, pacing, tone, eye contact and more. Plus, they can now share on-screen presentations during their speeches, which was not possible before when using their phones. 

“When you give students nice things, they respect it more. They act differently in a setting that feels more professional,” said Dyer. 

With the Logitech C920E webcams, Natalie was able to improve classroom equity, expand access to the business community, help students collaborate in more authentic ways, and further strengthen their communication skills.
