The Doceri app is an iPad app that is a:• Remote desktop tool, for accessing your computer

while away from your desk

• Remote control for a computer connected to a projector in a classroom

• A way to control classroom presentations wirelessly

• A virtual interactive whiteboard that allows markup over various screen types (i.e. anything you can show on the classroom computer)

• An authoring tool to make your own presentations by drawing, or importing images and drawing over them

Why the filmed presentation looks like nothing is happening:

• The Doceri hides all of the tools the iPad shows to the presenter so that the presentation your audience sees includes no distractions

• You can zoom in on the iPad to select small buttons, or to refine part of your drawing without your audience seeing the screen change on the presentation computer

The Doceri app lets you select among drawing tools:

You can draw shapes or freehand, and have a variety of pen and highlighter tips to choose among:

Doceri includes a folder of pre-made presentations to give you ideas:

Or, Doceri automatically builds a presentation as you capture screens and draw on the iPad:

Doceri includes a large number of backgrounds that you can use as a base for your presentation:

. . . for example, a blank musical score:

There are maps, plain, ruled, and graph backgrounds – or you can upload your own images to draw upon.

All past presentations are saved until you delete them:

You can zoom into any screen to refine small details or select small screen controls. The audience does not see the zooms.
