Using an HDMI to VGA Adapter Cord
If you have a VGA-only projector in your classroom, it had an HDMI to VGA adapter attached to the VGA cord.
However, we have recently purchased some "all-in-one" cords. Here is a reminder of what goes where...
White arrow: that is the VGA end. It goes into the digital projector.
Red arrow: that is the HDMI end. It goes into the port on your Chromebook.
Yellow arrow: that is the audio cable. It goes into the audio port on the projector (if applicable).
Blue arrow: that is the USB end. You do not need that one. You can ignore it or tape it to the cord if it gets in your way, but DO NOT cut it off.
