Did I have Time to Plan?
If I had time to plan, then the Substitute/Visitor Laptop is plugged in to the projector. All you need to do is turn on the projector. If you are sitting at my desk, then look over your left shoulder. at about 45 deg. You should see the wall mounted projector controls. there are some lighted blue buttons. the top one is got an on/off. Push it on. The projector should turn on.
Turn On Projector
Watch this video on how to turn on the projector. If I had time to plan, the sub computer in front of you is connected to the projector.
