Need to Show a DVD on Your Interactive Panel?


TSS has purchased some external DVD players for use when teachers need to show a DVD on their Interactive Panel. There are some in each school library that are barcoded and available for short-term checkout through Destiny. Teachers who need one very regularly (i.e. use it once a week or more), for whom checking it out from the library short term won't work, may request one via the staff device request in WebHelpDesk.
