How to use a SMARTboard!

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Turn on your computer and the projector while making sure all the connections are secure. Your Smart Board will activate automatically, so in the meantime, log onto Windows using the keyboard. If all connections are secured and you have logged in properly, the ready light, located near the bottom-right portion of the board will turn to green, indicating that the Smart Board is ready for use.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. You must align or orient your Smart Board if you want it to work properly. Not doing this, will cause the cursor to jump all around the board. Orienting your keyboard allows your fingers to register accurately when you are utilizing the Smart Board's interactive functions. To begin orienting your Smart Board, hold down the Keyboard button and right-click the mouse at the same time. The Orientation Screen will appear. Touch the icon in the upper-left area of the computer screen, using your finger or a Smart Board pen. Press "Again" each time the icon appears.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Use your Smart Board pens to write notes on the Smart Board. Make sure a border appears after you pick up your pen. This means that the digital-ink layer is opened and ready for use. If you want to use a different color, simply pick up a different-colored pen. If you want to use the eraser, just pick that up as well. Make sure that you put each tool back in its appropriate spot before you pick up the next tool. (The Smart Board only recognizes the last tool you picked up from the tray, so to avoid confusion, simply put one tool back before picking up another.) To clear all of your notes at once, use the "Clear Writing" icon at the top of the Smart Board, which looks like a sheet of paper with a yellow sun in the right corner

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. To capture your notes in order to save them, use the icon at the top that looks like a camera. If you want to only save a certain area of your notes, use the Area Capture button, which you will find on your Screen Capture toolbar. Use your finger to drag the selection box to the area you want to capture. Click the File button and then the Save button to save your notes.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">General Uses

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Interactive whiteboards or smartboards can be used in a variety of settings such as in classrooms at all levels of education, in corporate board rooms and work groups, in training rooms for professional sports coaching, broadcasting studios and more.They provide ways to show students any thing which can be presented on a computer's desktop (educational software, web sites, and others). In addition, interactive whiteboards allow teachers to record their instruction and post the material for review by students at a later time. Interactive whiteboards are used in many schools as replacements for traditional whiteboards, flipcharts or video/media systems such as a DVD player and TV combination.
