Using PowerPoint in extend mode can be an effective way to present.
In extend mode, the projector screen acts as a second monitor, which can be accessed by moving the mouse to your screen's far left or right edge. To learn more about the instructor station touch panel features, see our knowledge base article about the latest
touch panel updates.The following instructions will guide you in using extend mode to show a PowerPoint from the instructor station touch panel.
1. When you start the instructor station touch panel, first choose the classroom mode, either
Traditional(in-person) or
Blended/Hybrid.2.
Do not open PowerPoint before choosing "extend mode." Select Extend on the touch panel. Selecting a multi-display mode before opening PowerPoint ensures that PowerPoint will work properly.
3. Next, use the touch panel to start PowerPoint.
Now, you will notice that one of your displays has PowerPoint open, either the PC or the projector screen. The screen where PowerPoint shows up is your primary monitor. Most of the on-campus computers will have the projector as the default primary monitor.This means that your PC will be the secondary monitor. To access it, you will need to move your mouse to the right side of the projector screen.
4. Finally, go to the Slide Show tab on the PowerPoint application, open the
Monitor drop-down menu and select Primary Monitor.
You may also check the box that says Use Presenter View underneath
Monitor to display presentation information such as presenter notes onto the secondary monitor.
Now, you should be able to have your PowerPoint on the projector screen while keeping your instructor view confined to the PC monitor.
