  • Turn everything on and off with one button.
  • Mute the student screens to bring attention to the "front" of the room.
  • Send the instructor display or any student display to all of the displays.
  • Allow students outside of class to collaborate at any pod by just selecting their pod on the control without activating all the other classroom technology.
