With the Promethean screen-share function, teachers and students can collaborate from anywhere in the classroom by wirelessly sharing their screens with the interactive panels. In an interactive classroom, educators can move around while teaching, which allows them to interact with students one on one while maintaining complete control over the content shared on the whiteboard.
Promethean’s wireless screen-sharing is a two-way street. Teachers can also engage with students’ shared displays straight from an ActivPanel, allowing students to watch teacher involvement in real time on their devices.
To share screens between student devices and a Promethean ActivPanel, first ensure students have the Screen Share Sender or Chrome extension downloaded. From there:
- Select Screen Share from the Unified Menu on the digital whiteboard to see the panel name, panel ID and waiting room
- Have students open the Screen Share Sender or Chrome extension on their devices and enter the panel ID and their name
- Add up to four students from the waiting room and click “Share”
Educators can also change the name of the ActivPanel or refresh the panel ID in the window that opens when they click Screen Share in the menu.
