For Classrooms 1-5 and 1-14

Overview

There are a variety of technologies available in the room for use in your instruction.

Located on the stage are:

• Overhead projector
• Lectern

On the lectern is a touch screen control panel that allows you to control any of the electronic equipment in the room.

The lighting and equipment in the room (as well as the booth) is operated by the use of a touch screen control panel that is located on the lectern. The control panel is on at all times. When the system is not used for a period of time, the screen will go black (sleep mode). Simply pressing on an area of the touch screen will restore the screen's image. The touch screen has the menu options (along with the date and time) down the left side. The individual controls for a selected menu item will be displayed to the right of the menu.
