quietriot1983 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Ok, I have a member of staff who basically wants to be able to wander around the classroom, while still maintaining the use of his whiteboard. Presumably the best way to do this is a tablet? Alternatively, is there an ipod/phone app that could connect to his laptop and mimic the desktop? Or is my best bet a tablet? If so, how so?
RobMongoose Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 There's a logitech mouse app for the iphone which lets you use the phone as a touchpad. Would that do it? 1
K.C.Leblanc Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Smart do a wireless tablet, it's a rebadged Wacom. I'm not sure if the smart version has a different firmware. It might be easier to start cheap and get him a wireless mouse. EDIT: How about a VNC client, nice and cheap.. EDITEDIT: Or tape his board pen to a broom stick.

Haptic Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I have seen a Promethean Application for iPhone that would do the job. Chris

Had a quick gander and can't see anything on the app store. Edit: Logitech one looks like it may do the trick. Edited February 21, 2011 by quietriot1983
Haptic Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 After looking it is a case of linking about 3 applications togther through the apple iphone developer kit. Maybe a tad over the top - I know it is coming soon though! Sorry about that stpaulscrompton. Chris 1

techman Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks RobMongoose for the tip on the Logitech Mouse App. Just set it up there. It's excellent and free!
ifallon Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 What about team viewer if free for non commercial use and the app interface is very easy to use.
