Shortcut Keys
TIP #1: The Extended Display on Your Laptop
Have you ever wanted to be able to project information for your students and still use your computer for a teacher function, like taking attendance, simultaneously without your students viewing what you’re doing? This is a simple fix.
Use the keystroke Windows Button + P. Those two buttons will allow you to quickly access your display settings. If you select ‘Extended Display’ you turn your computer into two screens. The first screen is your laptop’s display, which allows you to take care of necessary functions, like on-the-spot grading and attendance. Your projector will display the second screen, or extended display. Drag presentations, documents to view, or browser into that window for your students to see.
