Your classroom tech toolbox

There are many classrooms in SDUSD, but the tools can have some slight differences. This is a checklist of the different tools you may have in your classroom.

The Teacher Tablet

This computer is the center of the classroom, and most of the other tools attach to it.

Promethean ActivBoard

This is the interactive display that has been put into every SDUSD general education classroom.

ActivPens

These allow you to control your computer from the ActivBoard. They also can write on the board like a whiteboard when you use the ActivInspire software.

Promethean Projector

Connected to the Promethean ActivBoard with a short-throw arm. It displays your computer screen on the board.

Promethean Projector Remote Control

This is required to turn the projector on and off.

Samsung Digital Presenter Document Camera

A digital camera that displays live footage on the computer or on the ActivBoard. Can take pictures and video.

Audio System

Located in the media cabinet with your teacher microphones

Port Replicator

Only in some classrooms. This is a small dock that houses all the cords connecting each tool to the teacher computer.

Printer

Wires!

These are the different wires that connect each piece to your computer:

two USB Cords

One of these connects the Promethean Board to your computer so the ActivPen and ActivBoard Speakers will work.

The other of these connects the document camera to your computer, allowing you to take pictures and video with the document camera.

Projector VGA

This connects the Promethean Projector to your computer so it can project your computer onto the board.

Headphone Plug

This connects your computer to the classroom sound system.
