Larrance 16 is equipped with state of the art presentation equipment including a networked computer, data projector, document camera, VCR, and Smartboard.  The computer is projected onto the Smartboard, a touch sensitive white board that allows the user to navigate computer programs by touching the projected image.  The color document camera displays opaque objects such as photographs and  books, as well as three dimensional objects. The document camera and VCR are projected onto the 6 foot diagonal white screen for easy viewing.  An additional port is available above the instructor's table for connecting laptop computers to the ceiling mounted data projector.

Equipment Tips

Do not use markers on the Smartboard, dry erase or otherwise.  Only use the special Smartboard pens in the tray provided.

When creating documents to display on the Elmo document camera, consider the following to avoid constant adjustment:

• Use 24 point text or larger
• Use dark, bold colors
• Use the landscape format on your printer.  In other words, the final paper should be 11" wide and 8.5" tall.
• Adjust the angle of the upper lights if you use transparencies.  Glossy objects reflect the light and glare may obstruct the image.
