Introduction to Your ActivPanel
Purpose-built for the classroom, the ActivPanel provides the most seamless, integrated, and interactive
learning experience available. Packed with engaging and interactive tools, the ActivPanel helps you and your
students make the most out of every instructional moment in the classroom.
The front of your ActivPanel features a center console, positioned for comfort and easy accessibility at a 30-
degree angle. Use the Center Console to adjust the volume, access the Unified Menu, manage touch on/off
and freeze, as well as selecting sources.
Your ActivPanel has a preinstalled Unified Menu that contains the most commonly used tools right at your
fingertips. These tools include our beloved Whiteboard and Annotate apps, the ability to capture anything
on your screen with Screen Capture app, easily switch sources between connected devices, and Screen
Share for mirroring.
Best of all, the Unified Menu is accessible from the bottom, left, and right sides of the ActivPanel, to allow you
seamless mobility and plenty of access for your students.

Unified Menu.
