Promethean Boards
Staff Training
Thursday, May 2nd in the library. Please be on time for this Tech Thursday so we'll all be ready for our lesson from Marylu Ringwood about Magic AI, taught on a Promethean Board.
Monday, May 6th staff meeting - 3:35 PM *sharp* in the auditorium with Amy Tice from Promethean. Sit close to the front and bring your Laptop for a little training at your seat!
See the slides below for lots of training and FAQs. You can open them if you're logged into WakeID.
This is the official WCPSS Promethean training site from Amy Tice.
We will have a Level 2 training day on Thursday, August 22nd from 9-10:30 AM. For right now, we're getting you started, but not overwhelming you with all the features.
Installation for May 6th & 7th
Library closed both days.
Delivery before noon Monday.
If you are interested in moving your screen WITHIN THE WHITE BOARD, use blue painters tape to show where by Monday, May 6 at noon. (Thrash has 2 rolls if you need one. 7th grade has used green tape, and that's okay!)
Display Mounting Guidelines for Middle School
Align top of panel with top of marker board (usually 84" above floor)
Center panel on space between boards (approximate)
May be adjusted slightly to avoid outlets, allow for buffer, etc. for significant adjustments, check with WCPSS first
Mounting Height is Bottom of marker Boards, for Grades 6-12 = 3’-0”
Install team arrives at 1:30 to work in Math Classrooms at 2. Be ready by cleaning off your space before 3 PM on Monday!
We are scheduled to install the following:
[56] 65” display panels wall mounted - all classrooms, see this chart
[2] 65" display panel on wheels - only Archie and STEM Lab (501 and 503)
[3] 86” display panels on stands - Library, Auditorium, PE
All display panels will be inspected, powered on, tested, and checked. All trash and equipment will be removed.
New boards come with new HDMI cords - they’ll collect the old HDMI cables for Thrash to have in the library as replacement cables. (They’re expensive and we need to keep them.)
We get to keep the 3 monitors that our school bought after 2018. Here are the new locations and serial numbers for each of the 3 moved monitors.
They will work 1:30pm to 9:30pm. Gregory is staying late to lock up on Monday, Bunnell on Tuesday. THANKS!!!
