Heading 1
Critical Components
Base: The base serves structural integrity to the design. The base is the foundation to which all other components are attached. The base is composed of MDF. In our model the base is both sealed and spray painted.
Workspace: The workspace is designated to student work. The student can work on the whiteboard or on paper fastened to the surface by the leverarm. The workspace can move from the horizontal to vertical position. A slow close hinge enables this movement. The workspace is composed of MDF like the base. Likewise, the workspace is sealed and spray painted in our model.
Leverarm: The leverarm allows the student to fasten paper and other work to the workspace. The leverarm secures the work so that it can be presented. The leverarm is composed of clear acrylic and clothespins. The clear acrylic allows the teacher to view any covered portion of the student work. The user presses down on the leverarm to open and utilize this fastening mechanism.
Hinge: The hinge is slow close. On average the hinge closes in seven seconds. The hinge is critical to the movement of the workspace from the horizontal to vertical position. The hinge chosen by our team is industrial grade, ensuring durability.
Google Chrome Extension: The extension can be downloaded easily from the Google store. The extension can then be modified following our few-step process found in the instruction manual. The extension mirrors the image on the screen. Without modification the extension mirrors the visual from right to left. However, with our modifications, the visual now flips from top to bottom. When the student displays their work, the teacher will see an upside-down orientation. With one click, the extension will flip the work right-side up. Now the teacher can easily view the work and screenshot for later review.
