Using a SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard
Writing on a SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard
By default, any participant can write or draw on the shared desktop. However, the presenter can
change this setting to
prevent the other participants from writing on the shared desktop.
NOTE: If the presenter has disabled drawing on the shared desktop, the pen button
in
the toolbar and menu items are not available.
To write on the shared desktop using a pen tray pen
1. Pick up a pen from the SMART Pen Tray.
OR
Click a colored ink button on the Sympodium interactive pen display, and then pick up the
tethered pen.
2. Write or draw with the pen.
A line of digital ink appears over the shared desktop and all the other participants can see your
notes. Any number of participants can draw or write at the same time.
NOTE: When you're using an
Ink Aware application, you can write within only the standard
workspace. You can’t write on top of menus, toolbars or window frames.
3. When you finish writing or drawing, return the pen to the pen tray.
Erasing on a SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard
By default, any participant can erase notes on the shared desktop. However, the presenter can
change this setting and
prevent participants from drawing and erasing notes on the shared desktop.
To erase notes using the pen tray eraser
1. Pick up the eraser in the SMART Pen Tray.
The pointer changes to an eraser icon.
2. Drag the physical eraser over the notes you want to erase.
3. Return the eraser to the pen tray.
TIP: If you’re the presenter, you can quickly clear all the notes by clicking the mouse pointer
button and then clicking anywhere on the shared desktop. However, this feature is not
available if you’re using a SMART Board interactive whiteboard to share an
Aware
application other than Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint.
Capturing the Notes (SMART Board Software)
If you’re using SMART Board software on a SMART Board product, you can capture the notes on
the shared desktop and save them in a Notebook file. The procedure varies, depending on whether
you’re the presenter or one of the other participants.
For more details about SMART Board software and Notebook software, refer to the Help file
provided with each application.
