You can be on any web page and pick up the pen. The x deletes the page, the 2nd takes a picture. You now have the exact picture with the annotations. Any website can be annotated and then saved with the annotations.

Smartboard Workshop at Tierney on May 17th, 2011

There is a rolling die on the Smartboard as we take a class survey, and roll the die for what question we will answer.

Smart Exchange will show us how to borrow and tweak materials from other teachers.

Students today all have been born with ipads, ipods and the internet.
Challenge: how do we engage, have students interact with knowledge with the way the world is today.

How do students create primary tools for the class for teaching?

How to use 3rd party resources with our students, have students out creating and interacting with information.

Formative Assessment: Our instructor Ryan is doing a survey on our use of the Smartboard, using Smartboard clickers around the room.

(Can use classroom clickers for all of the students, if you have a set of them for use with the Smartboard. You can do multiple choice questions on the Smartboard, use the clickers and it corrects immediately.)

We are assessing our use of tools with our Smartboard: Magic Pen, Properties Tool, Screenshade, Table Tool, Delete Tool, Shape Tool, Text Tool (create default text size and font - set it up so it works when you open the board), Pen Tool, Page Sorter Tab, Media Integration (embed a video right into notebook), etc.

Lesson Activity Tool Kit 2.0: There are 160 activites that can be used to build activities.


The Smartboard Exchange

Use a Smartboard for taking notes during staff meetings, and convert to text, so everyone agrees on the minutes, as they observe the notes.

For different languages, set up the language ahead of time - select the languages that you want to be a part of the piece - preset the language. Preset the language when the Smartboard is installed, for text recognition software. (Group objects together, using the grouping tool, then convert to text.)

Updating the software solves most issues, for best use. Update all of the different solutions.

The magnification box will magnify a part of the lesson on the board, the oval will highlight a section of the board, in using the magic pen. The magic pen will do disappearing. It will do shapes that function differently.

With the text tool, you choose different fonts and sizes and set up the board so it begins with your preferences.

Customizing the toolbar - on a Mac, go to view, then customize the toolbar, drag things in or out. To change the order of items on the toolbar, then drag the tool you want into the space onto the toolbar where you want it.

There are microscope attachments for the Smartboard.

The dual write board, if the board is compatible, works. The new boards have multi-touch systems.

The floating toolbar, means interaction with tools that are not Smart. On a Mac, go in your applications and and find it, or you have it on your dock. Then click on it and show floating tools. Activate when needed. Magic Pen/Spotlight, to add tools to the floating tool bar, select the gear, and then add tools. (Example: use the camera and capture a paragraph from the web, as a primary resource, then divide the board into two, with the primary source on one side, and the annotation on the second side (annotate). Also, you can use transparency to highlight and annotate. The floating tool will then allow highlighting a section and it is taught, but the entire docutment is captured and saved. Use floating tools for this lesson.

For layering, normally items layer from the initial to the latest. Use ordering tool for bringing an item to the front and then covering another object. To click to reveal, go to properties tab, object animation, type, fade in/out, etc. For fly in and fly out, then click and go back, and it starts again. To reset, go back and forward a page, or close out the document.

Grouping: Any objects to group, go to the gallery and select objects, use drop down and group. It can always be ungrouped.
