Hands-on Practices

These practical exercises take you step by step through the process of
learning to use your SMART Board interactive whiteboard.

interactive whiteboard. You’ll learn how to orient the board, use your
finger as a mouse, access the On-Screen Keyboard, use pens in the
SMART Pen Tray, and capture and save your notes into Notebook
software

Set-up for mobile SMART Boards

Set up the board and projector so that it is easily accessible and can be seen by the entire
class. Once it is in position be sure to secure the stand by locking the feet. Connect the
board to the computer and turn the computer on first, then the projector. You will need to
disconnect the monitor and connect the projector. The ready light on the board should be
green. If the light is red, or not on at all, then something is not connected properly. Orient
the board by pressing the two buttons on the pen tray simultaneously and following the
directions on the screen.

What is Notebook Software?
Notebook software is SMART’s whiteboard software. It acts
as an electronic notebook to immediately capture and save
notes and drawings written on the SMART Board or at your
desktop computer. You can import graphics, text, and
multimedia elements into your Notebook file or export your
Notebook file to HTML, PDF, PowerPoint or as a series of
images.

Getting Started
A great way to get started is to use what is already available.
Here is a list of websites to get you started. Look around and
see what might be useful in your classroom in the next few
weeks. Don’t worry about next year or last week. Look for
something to use right away.
