i>clicker Session Toolbar
You can reposition the toolbar anywhere on your screen. The floating toolbar allows you to run i>clicker with
your presentation application(s). For example, if you use PowerPoint or Keynote, both your presentation and
the i>clicker toolbar will be active. The toolbar floats above any application including Word, Acrobat, Web
browsers, Mathematica, etc.
TIP: If you reposition the toolbar on your desktop, the system will remember its placement and retain the new
location until you change it again. This feature gives you more flexibility and control to design your lecture
presentations so that the floating toolbar never obstructs your question text or images.
TIP FOR KEYNOTE USERS: In order for the i>clicker menu bar to float over your presentation, be sure
