Ah, the fun of using an LCD projector. It’s even more fun when I wear a white shirt to go along with it. My kids always get a kick out of the fact that as I teach, it often looks like I am wearing a just-created math shirt.
What’s even cooler is that I use what’s called an “airliner slate” to actually “write” on the displayed notebook page. Essentially, it’s a Bluetooth plastic slate that translates plastic-pen movements on its surface into colored pen strokes on my projected computer screen.
