How to Right Click with the Promethean Pen
The first problem many teachers seem to encounter when approaching an interactive whiteboard is knowing how to use the pen. An important fact that a lot of people don’t seem aware of is that you don’t actually need to touch the board with the pen to move the mouse pointer.
If the pen is floating near the board (within about 2mm) then the technology will detect the pen’s location.
In other words, you only need to touch the board with the pen when you want to write, draw or select something.
The other important part of this is that to right click, you only need to hold the pen very near to the screen and press the small button on the side. This is incredibly useful for accessing menus and toolboxes without having to walk over to your computer.
