Smart Airliner
The Airliner is so awesome.  It's a way for you and your students to control your computer from anywhere in the room.  Whether you are in the back, or your students are working in groups or at different tables.  This is the way to go !

I have attached some "How to Add a Smart Airliner" documents to the Faculty Meeting Websites.  Check them out !!
