Smart Boards Presented by Elizabeth Schanbacher
Policies and Procedures Develop policies and procedures for equipment use: • Sign out Smart Board room? Possibly use a calendar for long range and sign out sheet for date of actual use? • Use Yahoo free e-mail account to schedule room?
Equipment • Turn on computer first • Turn on projector • Log in screen-teacher or student depending on usage • Look for the green light on the Smart Board • Eraser and pens-lights on • Shut down-computer first then projector
How a Smart Board works • Think of two layers of screen-the first layer is the projected image, the next layer is the layer that allows you to write on, erase, etc. • Orient the board by pressing the keyboard and mouse simultaneously. Use your finger to press the center of the target. • http://www.smarttech.com/
