Instruction
Framing The Session
Today we will learn how to set up our projectors and interactive whiteboards by looking at their connections and the ports they are associated with
(For OOTB)
(We will label the different parts of the projector and interactive whiteboards and attach them to our mobile device. )
Framing The Session
Use this slide to tell participants what we’ll be teaching them.
The explanation should indicate how this lesson fits into the work they’ve been doing and how it fits into their lives as teachers and learners.
Teaching
Power Cable
•This provides power for our projector.
•This is a cable that will be used every time you use your projector.
•Can be plugged into the surge protector, our carts have internal surge protectors; however, generally in large spaces these surge protectors need to be attached to an extension cord.
RGB Cable•Sometimes referred to as a VGA cable.
•It has two large blue ports on either end.
•This is another cable that will be used all the time.
•Connects from the mobile device to the projector.
•Enables the projector to project the image on your computer.
•If you have no image being projected this is the first cable to check.
Teaching
USB Cable
•This cable connects your mobile device to the Interactive whiteboard.
•Your whiteboard is a USB device.
•It gets its power from your computer.
•Using this device will drain your battery. It is important to have your mobile device plugged in when running a whiteboard from it.
