AISD Innovation Station Network: Control Pad Error

Control Pad Error

Teachers are coming across an issue with the WACI control pad on the Innovation Station. Occasionally, the buttons on the pad turn to small black diamonds. The buttons still work, but the button images are no longer visible.

The fix for now is to re-boot the WACI control pad. The teacher should shut down the system so that the control pad, projector, document camera are all turned off. Next, wake the pad by pushing any button and then hold down the middle two buttons until the lights on the pad turn off. The WACI software is now rebooting and will be ready to turn on very soon.

--Instructional?--

How are teachers using input switching during a lesson segment?
Some teachers are finding it useful to have their daily agenda showing on the desktop computer and letting it stay on the screen while the teacher prepares lesson documents on their connected laptop.

Educational Technology - AISD

Topics started on this blog are meant to educate teachers on how to use the devices attached to the cart as well as how to integrate these devices into their normal curricular day. We hope that teachers will share their successes and questions throughout the blog and that we will all grow through our interaction in this community.

This community was born out of the growth of our Innovation Stations (IS) placed in many classrooms. Installations continue during the 2010-11 year and teachers continue to receive training on both the hardware and the instructional use of it.
