simple; windows+p

When attached to a projector the key strokes windows+p allows you to select between; extending the monitor to the projected screen, duplicating the monitor to the projector, or nothing to the projector. This is useful to get a lesson started. Leave the problems, notes, or class starter on the projector and then take attendance on your screen without losing class time.

Taking/Publishing Notes Online for Students

In this video I use a tablet PC to take and display notes to my students, which I later publish for them to view, compare to their notes, help with homework, and to study for tests. You could also use any pad/tablet interface that connects to your computer to complete a similar lesson.




1. Open Windows Journal
2. Take/Give notes/class discussion as you normally would.
3. Save Windows Journal File.
4. Select File | Print from within the Windows Journal file
4a. Select PDF Complete Printer on the HP Elite.
5. Save the PDF to a place that makes sense to you in your file system.
6. Publish the notes to your CMS and/or Google Docs/Sites.

Have fun!
