Check out In Focus' LiteShow II. They have software built into them that
will allow it to sit on a network and provide stop and start screen
sharing across the network. The only caveat is that it only works with
PC's - but it does it really well.

Subject: Student Computers on LCD Projector
Hi Everyone,
My middle school science teacher is getting a whole new science center
this summer, and he wants tech to be like "Minority Report." :)
One thing I am not sure how to do easily is this:
Students will be working on experiments and one of them will want to
look up something online. They grab a laptop, find something, and then
they want to quickly share it with the rest of the class on the LCD
projector. =20
The way we do it now, is the student copies the link to the student
share folder, goes over to the teacher computer that is hooked up to the
LCD projector, opens up the share folder and clicks on the link.
Is there a way to do this more easily? Is there any quick way to screen
share from a student computer to a teacher computer? Or, is there a way
to set up wireless VGA that any computer can connect to on the fly?
One other caveat is that we decide on computer platform based on what
best supports curriculum. For our science class this means a Mac
running OSX.5 for the teacher, 6 PCs running XP Pro, 6 Macs running
OSX.4 for the students.
Thanks,
Renee Ramig
