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 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.
