Sharing from My Device
Using the Doc Cam
Sharing Through AirMedia
When I teach, I want to be able to…
Share my digital lecture presentation/content (e.g., PowerPoint, spreadsheet) from the Resident PC (desktop computer at the classroom instructor station) with in-class and remote students
- Wipe down all equipment use provided cleanser and towels in the room
- Locate the wireless microphone unit docked in the charging station
- Clip the microphone on your lapel/collar and adjust its orientation so that it is not touching anything such as jewelry or clothing
- Turn on the wireless microphone’s power pack
