Mobile Mouse : "App"-solutely Fabulous!

Apps are changing the nature of how we interact with technology. In this blog series, we will highlight some great apps that are guaranteed to make your life a little easier. Consider downloading these apps onto your personal smart phone or tablet device, or come to see them in action in the MS/US library.

Mobile Mouse

For our first App of the Month, we are highlighting Mobile Mouse.  This simple, but robust app can really change how you use your Smarboard in the classroom.

Mobile Mouse allows you to turn your smart phone or iPad into a virtual mouse for another computer.  This is ideal for when you want to interact with your computer on the Smartboard, without being stuck to the front of the room, or to your desk.

With this app there's no more "Sage on the Stage;" you're free to walk about the classroom, while still using your projector to display important information.

Remember, the Tech department does have wireless keyboards to be used with Smartboard as well. This is another option if you don't have a personal iPad or iPhone.
