Student Stations

When the room is set up in its typical "Collaborative Standard" layout, there are four student stations.


A. Each student station is identified by a color (red, blue, yellow, or green) under its monitor and on top of the unit, to identify it so that unique signals can be sent to/from each station.

F. When your device is connected and the unit senses a signal, the puck will light up with an icon  Blue icon looks like monitor labeled "1" showing it is ready for use. Touch the icon on the puck to take control of the monitor. An audible click will play and the icon will turn green  Green icon looks like monitor labeled "1" . To stop using the screen, touch the icon  White icon labeled "off"  in the center of the puck . Or a different user can take control of the monitor by turning on their puck.
