Most preferences are controlled by making a change to these settings on the Teacher computer.
The available configuration tabs are:
• Tech
• User

Tech Preferences
The Tech tab lets you configure the following preferences:
Blank Screens Message
This option allows teachers to specify the text to display on the student's screens when they are
blanked. Enter the text message into the drop down list and select Apply. The last 10 messages are
saved so they can be quickly selected when blanking screens. These messages can be seen from the
Blank Screen button on the console toolbar. You may view, select or delete message from that
button.
Use an image when blanking screens allows the teacher to select an image to be displayed in the
background rather than the default blue background.
