The components of SMART Board tools are briefly described below.
SMART Notebook
SMART Notebook allows you to create, organize and save notes either on a SMART Board
or at your workstation, and then send those notes to a printer.
Notebook provides many object-creation tools that allow you to create a variety of
annotations within Notebook files. Notebook commands also enable you to import graphics,
text, clip art and entire files from any other application into your Notebook file. You can use
these tools in a meeting to assist you in writing notes and capturing participant input. Or use
them at your workstation to help you create a multi-page Notebook file for presentation at an
upcoming meeting. During the meeting, open that file on the SMART Board: Everything you
prepared earlier will be displayed on the large surface of the Board (and if you use Notebook
in Full Screen mode, your display surface will be even larger). And, of course, you'll be able
to navigate through your presentation just by touching the Board.
But Notebook is much more than just an electronic flip chart for displaying presentations or
capturing notes from a brainstorming session. It also serves as a receptacle for anything you
write on the SMART Board over any application.
As soon as you begin writing over a Windows application with a Pen Tray stylus, a toolbar
appears that lets you save a bitmap image of both your annotation and the underlying
application with the press of a button. Macintosh users can access the same annotation-
capture capability from the SMART Board tools menu. The captured image is automatically
placed on a new page of the current Notebook file. The captured annotations can now be
saved for later reference as a Notebook file, a PDF file, a series of image files or an HTML
file.
SMART Board Control Panel
The SMART Board Control Panel is a tabbed interface that enables you to easily configure
SMART Board functionality and access advanced features.
