A mobile wireless cart complete with 24 high-performance laptops and a DVD/CD-write player is available for use in the Science Building to accommodate occasional needs for a computer-equipped classroom.
As this cart is a resource shared by Adelphi faculty, it is not meant to satisfy the technical needs of one course for a complete semester of sessions. Instead it affords a professor and his/her students the opportunity to demonstrate hands-on computer and Internet technology when no computer lab has vacancies.
Please read these guidelines if you are interested in reserving the wireless cart for your class instruction.

More than 90% of Adelphi’s classrooms have multimedia capabilities and Internet access to accommodate video and audio broadcasting and/or PowerPoint presentations. Each classroom has different hardware and software capabilities. If you intend to use technology as part of your instruction, please review the room’s functions before making your reservation:
Some classrooms have a podium and are equipped with a computer, projector, and VCR/DVD players. There are also several tiered lecture halls equipped with VCR/CD/DVD players, Elmo, centrally managed projectors, and data ports.
Other rooms require minimal operation and support. Although they do not have the podium or PC, these rooms provide multiple plug-and-play connections for laptops, projectors, and other equipment, and have the capability to access the Internet, and stream video and audio, and play PowerPoint presentations.
For more information, contact the IT HelpDesk at 516.877.3340 or helpdesk@adelphi.edu. Or submit your request through https://support.adelphi.edu/.

SMART Technologies
SMART Boards use a proprietary software called "Notebook" which is used for content creation and display on a real SMART Board. (The 3M Boards do not use this software.)
The SMART Board interactive whiteboard is a touch-sensitive display that connects to your computer and digital projector. Using a finger, you can control computer applications, write notes, pull up charts and images, search the Internet, play videos and save your work.
The latest models come with a Touch Recognition feature, which allows you to switch modes automatically. You can write with a pen, erase with your palm and move objects with your finger without having to access other tools, buttons or on-screen menus.
SMART Notebook software sets the standard for creating, delivering and managing interactive lessons within a single application. All your lesson materials are right at your fingertips. With a rich set of design and delivery features and a multitude of digital resources, SMART Notebook software connects you to a full system of content, tools and support to help you create high-impact lessons that bring learning to life.
Please note: The SMART Boards CANNOT be used as dry-erase boards.
Visit the FCPE site for information on downloading SMART Notebook software.
This system allows students to actively participate in presentations and lectures by submitting their responses to questions using a digital response card/remote which transmits anonymous answer results to the instructor’s computer.
The FCPE site has additional information and tutorials for TurningPoint Clickers.
