Trainer Aids

TrainingCrew.com working with Texas Hunter Education Instructors Association, Inc. (THEIA) has put together a “Classroom in a Box” package currently available only to Certified Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) Hunter Education Instructors.

The “Classroom in a Box” package consists of one laptop and one computer projector. Both laptop and projector come with all cables, power supplies, etc., ready to run straight out of the box. This package has been assembled to be truly “Plug & Play”. Receive the package, plug in the laptop, connect the projector and teach a class.

The laptop has an Operating System installed and all the software installed that an Instructor needs to show MS PowerPoint presentations, PDF files and MS Word documents.

The current price of the “Classroom in a Box” package for Certified TPWD Hunter Education Instructors is $170.00 delivered to your door anywhere in the State of Texas.

Member of THEIA? If YES – Your price is $155.00 delivered to your door anywhere in the State of Texas.

UPDATE: 09/20/2019 – After brokering a deal with our friends at Fresh Air Educators, Inc., we are pleased to announce that all computers will now have HE TOOLS^™ loaded onto the computers ready to go. For those TPWD Instructors that need their own copy of HE TOOLS^™ – you may find it free of charge on the THEIA website – Click Here.

The only thing missing from the “Classroom in a Box” is a Presentation Remote or “Clicker”. As a seasoned Instructor teaching with computers for years I can recommend a value priced alternative to the “Clickers” sold in big box retail stores which is more than suitable for TPWD Hunter Education Instructors. These Presentation Remotes can be easily and cheaply purchased from either eBay or Amazon.

When searching eBay or Amazon search for “R400 presentation remote”. R400 is a LogiTech brand model number but there are dozens of “knock off” versions of these remotes that can be had for as little as $7.00 plus shipping. We purchased 8 units 4 years ago and they keep working as they should though we have well used and abused them in the classroom and in the field.

The R400 style presentation remote controls are very straight forward and easy for the operator to use. The R400 type presentation remote is a very robust unit and has never let myself or other instructors in our group down. The unit has a USB receiver (stored in the bottom of the grip”, that plugs into the laptop.

The R400 style presentation remote is truly “Plug & Play”. To operate – simply, plug in USB receiver, turn on power switch and that is it.

The R400 type remote has a built in Red laser pointer.
NOTE: Never point laser towards anyone’s eyes. The laser is eye safe but it is not a wise idea to point the laser at any person.

The remote uses two AAA batteries.
NOTE: Don’t forget to have spare batteries on hand in your teaching kit. These units do not eat batteries but from experience the batteries will fail at the most inappropriate time (i.e. in the middle of class), if you forget to turn the unit off between uses. As a TPWD Hunter Education Instructor you are always prepared just put extra batteries in your kit.
