Hi Dan, I am glad you asked that question about projectors. Teams should not count on there being anything in the room that you can use. Of all the schools that we use, and all the classrooms, we just can't possibly ensure there is some sort of default minimum equipment that teams will be able to use. Think about every time you had to hook up your laptop to a new projector, and how uncertain it was if it was going to work. That just isn't a situation we want to put your kids in. We can't even promise there will be a convenient electric outlet. I train my team to not even expect a table to put things on. And if we feel like we need some sort of presentation, we go old-school with an easel and poster board slides. I hope that helps!
