John Hansen has released a utility that's great for projecting the NXT screen
for the entire class to see.  There are two versions in a zip file.

<http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nextscreen.zip>

I've already used NeXTScreen2 in class to demonstrate how to use the View mode.
It worked marvelously.

To run:
1.  Download and unzip the two versions of the utility to a folder of your
choice.  NeXTScreen2 displays a graphic of the NXT with clickable buttons.
NeXTScreen just shows the screen with text icons for buttons.  Both work the
same way.
2.  Run the version of your choice.
3.  Connect the NXT to the PC using a USB cable and turn it on. Start polling by
pressing Ctrl-P on the PC.
4.  Proceed with your demonstration using your mouse to click on the button
icons on the PC.  Your actions will also actuate the NXT as if you had pressed
its keys directly.

There's more to be found in the original discussion in lugnet\news\Robotics\nxt
