in my old school teacher used to call podium a dice

01b00102b00: In my old school podium was always called dice. I don't think this is correct because dice don't have any closer meaning to podium. Right? 02br
02br
01b00202b00: In a certain movie there was a small crystal screen attached to the upper side of podium. That screen was helping speaker with his speech, I mean he was able to see his written speech on that screen. That screen was almost transparent from audiences point of view. I think that movie was Dave. What do we call that screen?0-
