Screen sharing through a student copy of the
teacher's notes: Dropbox, Google Drive
If there is no wi-fi in the classroom, but the
teacher is able to give the student a digital copy
in advance, the student can arrive to class with
the notes in hand by downloading the files prior to
class when he or she has an internet connection.
This approach is suitable for PowerPoint presentations, but does not work with dynamic lessons
using a SmartBoard. The student can open his or
her own copy of the slides and click along as the
teacher moves through the lesson.

tools for a student with low vision who needs to
access notes on the board, follow these links to
