Promethean Board Information

A Promethean Board is a interactive whiteboard, that allows a user to project an image from a laptop or a computer and also interact with the board through touch or pens that are designed for use with this system. We have two Promethean Board equipped classrooms located across campus. These are in Perkinson Music Center room 218, and Leighty Tabor Science Center room 108.

While using the pen on the Promethean Board if you notice that that when you touch the board with the pen the pointer does not match you should calibrate the board.

Please see the video at the link below to view the steps required to calibrate your Promethean board.

Promethean Board Calibration

Steps for how to calibrate the Promethean Board

If you touch the Promethean Pen to the board and see that the pen tip does not align with the arrow, the board needs to be calibrated. You can start the calibration process either from the board or using the software on your computer.

From the board is faster, so let’s start there first!

FROM THE BOARD

STEP 1

To initiate the calibration screen, HOVER the pen above the flame in the upper left corner of the board.

STEP 2

Follow the onscreen directions. A series of crosses will appear on screen. Touch the stylus to the center of each cross to calibrate.

YOU’RE FINISHED!

The pen tip will now be aligned after calibration.

Calibrating the Promethean Board can also be done using the computer software.

STEP 1

Select the triangle on the bottom right of the taskbar of a PC.

STEP 2

Select the Promethean icon – PC (You will find this icon in the menu bar at the top of the screen on a Mac)

STEP 3

Select calibration from the menu. Then select 5 points.

Calibration points will appear on your Promethean Board. Be sure to follow the on screen directions.
