Your Finger Is Your Mouse; Writing And Erasing Notes; Saving Your Notes; Notebook Software - SMART Board Quick Reference

Your Finger Is Your Mouse

A press on a SMART Board interactive whiteboard is the same as a left-click with a mouse. To
open an application such as an Internet browser, simply double-press the application with your
finger.

Writing and Erasing Notes

To write over your desktop image or application, pick up one of the pens from the pen tray and
write on the interactive whiteboard. To write in a different color, pick up a different pen. The
color recognition comes from the optical sensors in the pen-tray slots and not from the pens
themselves.
Pick up the eraser from the pen tray and move it in a smooth motion over your notes to erase them.
: The interactive whiteboard only recognizes the last tool removed from the pen tray. For example, if you already have
NOTE
a pen in your hand when you pick up the eraser, the interactive whiteboard will assume you want to erase, regardless of
whether you touch the board with a pen or an eraser. To avoid confusion, return each tool to its proper slot when you have
finished writing.

Saving Your Notes

You can easily save the notes you have written on the interactive whiteboard for future reference.
1 Pick up a pen from the pen tray and the Floating Tools toolbar will appear.
: If the Floating Tools toolbar does not appear when you pick up a pen, the application you are
NOTE
working in may be Ink Aware. If the application is Ink Aware, these buttons
will be available in the application's own toolbar.
2 To save a selected area of your notes, press the camera icon on the toolbar. Then press and drag
your finger, using the marquee, to outline the area you want to capture.
: The camera button in Ink Aware applications will capture an image of your entire screen.
NOTE
3 A copy of Notebook™ software will automatically open. More information on Notebook software is outlined below.
4 Select Notebook software from your taskbar to view your notes.
: If you want to save your Notebook file, select File > Save
NOTE
before closing the Notebook file.
