SMARTBoard and Back to School

The new school year is starting.  Students will be entering your classroom in less than a week and there is still so much to do.  Many of you will want to start using your SMARTBoard immediately, but you will notice some minor changes to the toolbar and SMART Notebook software.  I have included some links with videos or cheatsheets to help you learn some of the new features.  I will also be providing SMART Board refresher courses during the month of October (or as needed).

1.  Here is a link to basic SMART Board skills and navigation resources.  This link will take you to the SMART website and allow you to navigate at your own pace through some of the basic features of SMART Notebook Software. - SMART Training Resources
