Has anyone ever projected from a laptop to smartboard?

I need help finding a way to project a wireless laptop to the smartboard. Please share if you know of a way to do that. Thanks! April

It looks to me like folks found a way to do it -- Wanna share????

From what I'm hearing this makes for a fantastic IEP meeting.

We need a wireless way to project. We are projecting now from a desktop but we have to stand up during the whole meeting and walk back and forth to the desktop. Thanks!

I asked Pat and here's what she said . . .

The function (Fn in blue) needs to be held down and then hit the F4 key. Do this once and it projects to screen. Do this twice and it projects to the screen and the smartboard.
Hope this helps

Ask Jim Brown! He's a good tech resource.

Wow! That is so cool! I will try the Fn/F4 key for our next IEP meeting. Thanks!

Does it work??? Try it out ahead of time and let me see.

I think one of the problems is that we don't get wireless internet in April's room. The closest hub is in the Waterford lab and it doesn't reach even to my room. I asked Pat about it and she said the hubs would be placed in areas where they would serve the most people. Maybe you, Patti, could exert some executive influence? Everyone seems to like the IEP's being projected (as long as CECAS and the internet are working!) Thanks.
