=Using A Projector in Bonnie Johns Room 107 (aka the Mac Lab)= The computers in Lab 107 are iMacs made by Apple, but there are two ways that they can simulate a Windows computer.

Boot Camp (for use by students)
One way is through Boot Camp, which allows you to boot (or start) the computer either in Win-dows or Mac OS X. All the computers in Lab 107 boot in Windows mode by default. This method is suitable for the student computers. However, Boot Camp is not compatible with screen projec-tors, so the instructor or presenter cannot use this method. Instead, they must use Parallels.

Parallels (for use by instructors and presenters)
The other way to simulate a Windows computer is to use a virtual machine application called Paral-lels. Parallels creates a Windows environment within the Mac operating system--in other words, a computer within a computer. You use Parallels on the instructor station to project a Windows environment. To project a Windows computer view: >
 * 1) Make sure that the projector is plugged into the instructor computer station.
 * 2) To start the computer, push the white button on the back.
 * 3) When the monitor screen lights up, press and hold the OPTION key on the keyboard. Two hard drive icons appear. One is called Macintosh HD 1 and one is called Windows. Click on the arrow beneath Macintosh HD 1 to start the computer in the Macintosh operating system.
 * 4) Log in with the username "webit" and the password "pgcps".
 * 5) Click on the Parallels icon in the application dock at the bottom of the screen to launch Parallels.
 * 1) To start the Windows XP virtual machine, select Actions > Start from the menu bar, or click the green triangle in the player controls toolbar.
 * 2) Windows starts and expands to take up the full screen. To switch back and forth between the Mac and Windows operating systems, click ALT+ RETURN on the keyboard.
