Objectives • How to utilize the Epson BrightLink 450 Wi Projector • How to utilize interactive projectors for teaching and learning • How to integrate with your SFA (Success For All) Software • Additional ideas to extend lessons through whole and small groups
With your projector… The pen will be utilized to manipulate the images and icons on the screen. Your projector will come with 2 pens.
Remote The remote can be used to adjust the images.
Calibration • Calibration sets the connection between the computer and interactive pen(s). • You will need to calibrate before using the pens for the first time. • You may also need to calibrate if you change the resolution on your computer or if you connect to a different computer.
Performing Calibration • 25 point calibration – This is used for normal situations and is the fasted way to calibrate. • 49 point calibration – This is for more advanced functions. Recommended for more detailed images and a higher need for accuracy.
Start Calibrating • Click the pen icon and select normal or advanced. • A message will appear. Select ok. • When you see a flashing green circle in the upper left-hand corner, touch the center of the circle with the tip of the pen. When the circle stops flashing and turns to black, another flashing circle will appear on the right.
Calibration Continue until all of the circles are black. Now are you are ready to use your interactive tools!
Using the Pen To use the pen as a mouse: Hold the pen at an angle (like a normal pen). To left click, tap the board. To double click, tap twice. To right click, tap while pressing the button on the pen. To click and drag, tap and drag with the pen.
Two Modes of Use • Pen Mode allows you to select the drawing tools. In this mode you can annotate over the page you are viewing. • Whiteboard mode changes the screen to a white/blank image for you to write notes or information. The icons for the mouse/pen modes and the whiteboard modes appear at the top of your interactive tool bar.
Saving Pages • You can save both whiteboard pages and computer screen images with annotations. • You can also determine the formatting for your saved pages. • Select the icon in your lower right hand corner of the screen to open the Easy Interactive Tools menu. • Now select saving setting.
Saving Pages Select the folder where you want to save your pages. Save your file as a JPEG or BMP.
Saving Pages Whiteboard Mode Interactive Mode Select the save icon with the disk. The on-screen keyboard will appear and a Save As window will open. You can select a location for saving and enter a name to create a new folder. Your pages are automatically saved as numbered pages. • Select the camera icon to capture the current screen and annotations. • You will see a message to confirm your screen has been saved. • The Easy Interactive Tools adds the time and date to the file name prefix you selected.
What can I do with this? • Sharing educational resources • Group participation • Showing text for read alouds or even songs • Sharing online content such as videos • Interactive tours
Success For All • Your reading series has interactive lessons that can be displayed and shared in whole or small groups. • Use the pen as a mouse to navigate through the interactive lessons. • Use the pen to annotate over web based lessons to call attention to details and important information. • Save your annotations to review the next day or with children in small groups.
Success For All • Use the whiteboard mode to extend lessons. • Create Venn diagrams easily with the shapes from the drawing tools. • Create opportunities for word sorting. • Use the shade to hide/reveal the information you want students to focus on. • Use the spotlight to call attention to detail.
Long E Short E
Long E Short E The screen shade would hide whatever information you wanted to conceal calling attention to other information.
The spotlight would darken the rest of the screen to highlight only one part at a time to isolate information.
Using the pen as a mouse will let you navigate through interactive lessons with your class!
All of your notes that you write with your pen can be saved through the projector for later review.
What else can you do? • Visit online museums as a class and document what you see! • Watch a web cam from a view to observe wildlife. • Watch educational videos. • Save notes from math class for study/review. • Play educational interactive games
