Standard Projectors

A standard projector lets you present your screen. It will likely be mounted in the centre of the classroom, further from the main wall.

Protect your privacy. When presenting your own device, use your device's Display options to choose whether to mirror or extend your display.  Mirroring your display will show your desktop to your audience. Extending your display will create a secondary screen.  Drag your software to the extended area to display it.

Interactive Projectors

The interactive projector turns your screen into a tablet-like experience.  It will be mounted closer to the main wall.

There will be two interactive pens, mounted either on the whiteboard or on the podium.  Use these to interact with the projected screen. These pens use one AA battery - use the button on the pen to check if there is a charge - it should show a green light.  If a pen does not work, inform IT Services by calling ext. 3444.

An interactive projector may also be touch interactive.  Push the Touch On/Off button on the podium to enable the touch interaction. A blue light will appear on the interaction box, mounted on the whiteboard just below the projector, indicating you may now touch the board like a tablet.
