Next Steps

• Can not display video ... video plays so slow, looks like a slide show. Need to isolate the problem to the network (did have problems with raspberry negotiating hard wired ethernet connection speeds with schools gigabit ethernet hubs) or to the raspberry.
• Can not see the mouse ... have to get out of seat and wave a stick at the monitor or use laser pointer on one monitor (not all of them) to point
• Can possibly use PBX software asterisk to share sound ... raspberries have sound ports that could be connected to speakers
• Can possibly hook usb web cameras to the raspberrys to enable display on any monitor
