  • Chromebooks + Chromecast in the Classroom
    CHROMEBOOKS + CHROMECAST IN THE CLASSROOM As more Chromebook™ models enter the market, it’s becoming harder for schools to choose the best one to meet their needs. Which one has the power to run the latest online educational content such as Kno™ online textbooks and BioDigital Human™? Which one offers the best visual experience when using Chromecast™ in the classroom? Each model delivers a different experience for teachers teaching and students learning in the classroom. Here in the Principled Technologies labs, we put on our teacher hats and looked at an Intel® Core™ i3 processor-powered Chromebook and an ARM® processor-based Chromebook. We performed tasks a science teacher might include while giving a lesson in the classroom, such as using a Kno online textbook and looking at different 3D anatomy models in BioDigital Human. We measured aspects of user experience that would matter to students and teachers—time to complete tasks and frame rate. Which Chromebook is the better choice for teaching in the classroom? We found that the Intel Core i3 processor-powered Chromebook outperformed the ARM processor-based Chromebook across the board, delivering up to 250.0 percent more frames per second than the ARM processor-based Chromebook when using BioDigital Human with Chromecast. The Intel Core i3 processor-powered Chromebook also took just over half the time to complete a series of tasks, including opening BioDigital Human over 22 seconds faster than the ARM processor-based Chromebook. OCTOBER 2014 A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES TEST REPORT Commissioned by Intel Corp. WHICH PROCESSOR IS IN YOUR CHROMEBOOK? There are many different Chromebooks on the market.

  • Smart TV Connection Options for FORMED
    Smart TV Connection Options for FORMED FORMED does not currently have a TV App, although this is something we hope to offer in the future. Additionally, users may encounter issues streaming the videos available on FORMED directly on their SmartTV using the pre-loaded browser on the TV. This is likely because the browser is incompatible with our video player. FORMED’s supported browsers are: • Google Chrome • Firefox • Safari • Edge If you would like to access FORMED on your SmartTV we recommend the below options: Direct Connection (HDMI) You may use an HDMI cord/cable to connect your HDMI-enabled computer to your SmartTV (all of which have at least one HDMI input). Select the HDMI input option and after you have connected the cord to both devices your computer screen should be mirrored on your SmartTV. * If your computer screen is not mirrored on your TV display you may need to navigate to your computer's projector/projector settings and ensure that either "Duplicate" or "Second Screen Only" is selected. The latter choice will cause the video to only appear on the TV. Chromecast If you use Google Chrome as your web browser you can stream videos or movies from FORMED to a SmartTV using a Chromecast device. This device plugs in to your TV’s HDMI input will allow you to stream FORMED from your computer, tablet or smart-phone to your SmartTV. The Chromecast is $25 - $35 *We've found the easiest way to cast FORMED is by using a computer with the chrome browser, rather than casting from a phone or tablet.
