Today, while instruction my reading class all of the technology gave up. The projector would not display my computer screen. The DocCam would not connect the projector to the computer screen. Finally, I caved and called the media specialist to save the day.
When he came in to fix the equipment, he pressed the two buttons I pressed and they cooperated for him. Let’s just say I was grateful and frustrated. I am embracing the technology available to me, learning how to use it properly, and it still does not work somedays.
Shortly after he left, my computer shutdown and would not turn on right away. I went as far as to lay my laptop down to be displayed by the DocCam since the projector would no longer connect. It was a ridiculous sight. The entire process started over, but this time when I called him back he taught me how to use Airplay. This is a lesson-saver when technology mishaps happen.
It is another new technology feature I have to practice using before understanding it completely, but I am eager to try it out tomorrow and not be trapped in the back where the cords are.
To be continued…
Don’t you hate when that happens?
