phone on the teaching wall to contact them (option 2).

camera to the projector.

The classroom PC is built into the desk.
| Logging into the PC |
Using a CD / DVD |
Using a USB flash drive |
|
The classroom PC is already connected to the UCT network, which allows you to access the internet and your network drives (i.e. your F: and G: drives).
- At the login screen, log in using your UCT username and password.
- When you've finished using the PC, click the Start
button > Log off. This will log you out so that others can't access your UCT network account.
|
You can play CDs or DVDs using the classroom PC's built-in optical drive. The drive is located
under the desk surface.
|
To access content from your own USB flash drive, plug your flash drive into
one of the USB ports under the desk surface.
|
| Caution: Do not save any files onto the classroom PC because your data will be lost when the PC reboots. Save all files to your own USB flash drive. |
The document camera acts as a writing surface - similar to writing on an overhead projector slide. It can also project existing documents, images, and objects.
When the CSS consultant sets up the portable document camera,
ask for a quick overview of how to operate the device.
