Presenting
Just bring your slideshows or documents on a USB key and you'll be able to open them on the laptop attached to the SMART Board. The laptop has the latest versions of Microsoft Office Professional 2010 and LibreOffice installed (they are able to open files from previous versions). SMART Meeting Pro is also available for using the SMART Board as a virtual whiteboard.

Videoconferencing
We have our LifeSize videoconferencing equipment connected to our LCD-TV. Just bring the IP address of the videconferencing unit you're connecting to and we'll be able to set you up. If you would prefer to use Skype, it is available on the laptop, which can be set-up to use an available HD Logitech WebCam.
