webjan Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help regards teachers moving to Chromebooks in place of Windows desktops when using Promethean boards. Our teachers currently have Windows desktops extended on two external monitors and a Promethean board (ActivPanel v5), using HDMI and USB(for board interactivity) - one monitor is personal the other is mirrored on the ActivPanel for what the teacher wants to show. Teachers work at their desk or at the board using touch - some annotate/draw on Powerpoint presentations using Windows ink, or similiarly with ActivInspire. Can we replicate this setup with Chromebooks? We are looking at HP Chromebooks (x360 11 G2 EE). Many thanks.
DangPro Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Hi, Since Chromebooks are not part of the Promethean product line we cannot give advice on 3rd party products. I suggest you talk with your HP representative on how Chromebooks deal with multiple external monitors. Another thing to keep in mind is ActivInspire does not run on a Chromebook. You could use ClassFlow instead and that works great on Chromebooks. Thanks 1
webjan Posted May 15, 2020 Author Posted May 15, 2020 Understood DangPro, I wasn't sure which part of the forum to put this in, but thanks for your response. I had seen there was a chrome extension called ActivManager - but I see that's more to do with calibration. Thanks.
