Smart Boards
Presented by
Elizabeth Schanbacher
Policies and Procedures
Develop policies and procedures for
equipment use:
• Sign out Smart Board room?
Possibly use a calendar for long range and
sign out sheet for date of actual use?
• Use Yahoo free e-mail account to
schedule room?
Equipment
• Turn on computer first
• Turn on projector
• Log in screen-teacher or student
depending on usage
• Look for the green light on the Smart
Board
• Eraser and pens-lights on
• Shut down-computer first then projector
How a Smart Board works
• Think of two layers of screen-the first layer is the
projected image, the next layer is the layer that
allows you to write on, erase, etc.
• Orient the board by pressing the keyboard and
mouse simultaneously. Use your finger to press
the center of the target.
