Parts and Connections
Describe parts - page 2 SB is input device - not just a projector, but mouse as well Power from SB comes from computer through USB Show lights - Green status light and flashing pen lights when connect USB cable If status light is flashing green or red, unplug USB at computer a (Can make SBs on carts wireless so teacher computer talks to SB through bluetooth) Finger is mouse Need to press hard enough for board to sense touch - like buttons on microwave
 * "Touch with intent"
 * Apply constant pressure
 * Durable surface - baby wipes/windex (spray
 * One point of contact

Pen tray Lights = Sensors in each slot If lose, pens, then anything can be a pen Can use a tennis ball as pen Nothing sharp Some boards can do touch recognition, heal of hand = eraser, fingerpad is pen writing, fingernail is mouse to drag

Keyboard & Right Click
Classic - show caps, shift, show @ symbol Show Settings and Speech for ELL. transparency Simple Number Pad Right Click button - pg. 5 Can also right click by simply touch and hold

Orient the SMART Board
Orient syncs touch recognition between computer and SMART Board - "accuracy of touch" One way is to press and hold both buttons (keyboard and right cllick buttons on pen tray) and hold until orient screen shows up Can change to more points of orientation if desired (higher degree of accuracy) Go to Control Panel, SMART Hardware Settings --> Orientation and Alignment Settings --> Slect 12 or 20 (default is 9) Also show pen and button settings - Can change Blue pen to write orange Must orient if projector is knocked, board is moved, sometimes when monitor resolution is changed Phone cable underneath pen tray (RJ11 connector switch to different port if tray if pens acting oddly) Can also orient by right-clicking SMART Board Tools in Dock - put Notebook and SB Tools in Dock

Digital Ink Layer Analogy of writing on acetate on old fashioned overhead Go to website in web browser Border appears (digital ink layer) Can now write on top of website 3 buttons in top = "3 C's Clear, Capture, Close" If clear, use Undo in floating tools - this Undo only goes back one step Capture - sends to a Notebook file Close - yellow balloon shows for a few seconds, if miss it, you can use Undo button in floating tools panel Options can get rid of border or 3 button Ideas for Use of Capture to Notebook (Model)
 * kids can write on a webpage for clues
 * Review notes from yesterday (show on screen as review)
 * Essential questions in CDB
 * Media Literacy/ICT -
 * Post on WIkis - Blogs = communicate beyond school and with parents and families

Tips for Designing Best Practices

 * Clear Objective - content first
 * Anticipatory set that connects to background knowledge
 * Exciting hook at beginning - (hide reveal)
 * Guided Practice
 * Use Essential Questions as opening and closing (exiting)
 * Social Interaction
 * Try it first / practice
 * Archive things so you can share with absent students, formative/summative assessment
 * Build a Lesson Library
 * Save often
 * Show SMART's website - Education --> Community tab at top = SMART Exchangeand Browse (recently, most viewed, etc.) OR click on Standards-Correlated Lessons and look for view lessons . Also be sure to use the Connect with Teachers and join that community using the Join link.

 * Freehand capture

Certification
Test will bo on their LMS.

Free open courses on their LMS...... must setup an account... free..... Level 2 Handbook page 68

Agreements: Support Confidentiality Feedback

Whys? Circle to Erase -efficiency of time

Magic Pen Disappearing Ink - table where answers had to go, student writes, call on next student to come up, by that time the ink would be gone - sight words

Page Recording - same problem solved in multple ways by students on - modeling a little tutorial to kids "how to get started with developing an idea" - modeling Daily Five - Cafe Menu

Create Pull tabs Gallery Tab --> LAT 2.0 Black Arrow, Scroll to Graphics folder, 3rd sub folder = Pull Tabs, Results View Below --> Pictures = 30 results Drag into work area, green rotate handle, how this may be used, clue on how and pull tab, group, hide information of screen, jam up to top or side

8 Minute Activity = Describe picture without seeing it, giving play by play

The roll dice = magic pen, insert table, then volunteer shows how to use it... I've showed you how to "insert a table".... now why or how would you use it in your classroom?

What Symbol denote Level 1 page 1 - know symbols Objects in Notebook software 45 minutes Level 1 page 3 Technology Training Guidelines - Level 1 page 8 Which side of SMART Board - Same size as your dominate hand, don't reach across, lends to open body prsenetation (face to audience) Level 1 page 10 Why laptops for level 2 training? - utilize in training for understanding ?? Level 2 page 6 Customizing delivery - different people you work with may have unique needs, lesson activity examples that engage them level 1 page 7 Why use a set-up checklist? level 1 page 5 Asked questions which side, how to write
