Over the past year, I’ve seen a multitude of creative solutions on how to get the one laptop and projector in the room involving students during a lesson. The old way of getting kids involved had them coming up to the blackboard or overhead to demonstrate a skill. With wireless technology as readily available as it is now, we’re able to accomplish the same task without the distractions of having students leave their desks (if that’s your preference).
The most prevalent and easy to use way to get the students interacting is to pass them a wireless keyboard and/or mouse (about $60 for the one that we suggest) and have them interact with the website, or program of your choice. Another option is to invest in a wireless tablet such as an eInstruction Mobi. Recently, I purchased an Ultra Mini Keyboard from eBay that I’m quite happy with.
