Mr. Spock and The Young One are helping me to try to connect the iPad to a pocket projector so it will mirror what is on the iPad.
I thought I would go 21st. century for teaching students calligraphy instead of writing on a chalkboard where I sometimes make a better door than a window when I'm in front of the chalkboard. Also people at the museum have written on the chalkboard with oil pastels so not always a good surface to use chalk on as chalk was intended.
I can demonstrate letter formation and the ductus (stroke) order using Procreate and a 45 degree angle calligraphy brush and in theory can project what's on the iPad onto the wall.
The Young One has gotten a lot closer in making it so than I did. The good thing is the chalkboard is still the fallback plan and we have 6 weeks to figure things out.
Whatcha doin? I'm happy dancing because she got things working, and I was able to replicate her instructions.
Good for you for moving into the new century. I used to use the overhead projector a lot when I was teaching, but I like this mini version.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it works out in the actual studio
DeleteI feel your pain! I'm still trying to figure out the best way to backup my Procreate gallery to my external hard drive...😕
ReplyDeleteGood luck
DeleteOur TV died. I'm looking for a cheap replacement. Quite the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThere are projectors that are in the $200 range. I'm not sure if you can project streaming services on a wall.
DeleteWe ended up ordering one from Best Buy, $180 including tax. Getting rid of the other one is proving difficult.
DeleteYay for the young one getting things worked out and good on you for giving it a go.
ReplyDeleteThe quarter of a million dollars we paid for her education has been so worth it. 😺
DeleteSpock today helps me with the panto :-)
ReplyDeleteCool how you teach! I think here they still have green chalkboards...
There is a green chalkboard in the art museum studio. That is my backup plan. Nothing wrong with old school tech
DeleteYour young one is quite impressive. Good for her. I used Lotus Freelance Graphics because I have NEVER been a Windows/Word fan. I created many presentations using that program that I am sure is archived now!
ReplyDeleteThe Young One is a wonder
