The district recommends that any presentation clickers used here have bluetooth compatibility.

A commonly recommended model is the Logi R500s.

For most applications, the default options on this clicker are sufficient.

 

For certain curriculum materials, such as 95 Phonics, the embedded slideshows require some additional programming of buttons.

 

Logi Software Installation and Initial Setup

Start by going to self service and downloading the Logi Options+ software.

 

 

 

After installing and/or starting the software, you may receive messages about allowing permissions and allowing bluetooth.  Both should be accepted/set to yes.

Typical screens shown below for permission settings/requests:

 

 

 

Once the permission steps are done and the software is functioning, next step is to connect the clicker.

 

Connect/Pair Clicker

 

  • Pair Clicker (To pair press and hold laser and back button till top light flashing) -> Open bluetooth connect to Logi R500
  • If the keyboard assistant pops up it can be closed as it won’t be used.
  • Click on clicker in Logi+ Options software -> Skip -> Skip Screen recording
