Projectors
Interactive projectors have been installed in all classrooms. There is No remote control as all input settings and sound are controlled with the touch panel next to the whiteboard.
Connection to the projector MUST be done through the Apple TV box (AirPlay). The projectors and Apple TV box are both digital (HDMI) and will give you a large clear image with great resolution.
The new projectors have built-in tools that will allow you to interact/annotate the image displayed on the whiteboard without installing any additional software. The projector can also be used as a whiteboard and you can draw on the board using your fingers (no pens or markers needed).
