Smartboard references

1. Quick reference manual http://www2.smarttech.com/kbdoc/96743
2. using it in class tips http://www.nbps.k12.wi.us/teachers/yurkr/smart/followupclass.doc
3. detailed manual http://instructech.usi.edu/smartboardguide.pdf
   
   Smartboard configuration:
   
   
4. Drawings may be added to documents by clicking the drawing tool once the Handwriting recognigion module is installed.
5. Handwriting recognition doesn't work until the recognition pack is installed.
6. Onscreen Keyboard may be used in CLASSIC mode, or for
   handwriting recognition in WRITE mode or for numbers in SHORTCUT mode.
7. Entering numbers in handwriting recognition in WRITE mode is not bad, entering formulas is a waste of time but it looks cool.
8. Dictating numbers using the Microphone Dictation mode is quicker and more accurate than handwriting recognition (say FORCE NUM 5 to enter the numbers 5 and all numbers from 0 to 20)

Recording AVI presentations with voice

1. how to record http://www.techsmith.com/community/education/lessonplans/screen
2. TIP: If you don’t want the SMART Recorder toolbar to appear in your recording, press
   the icon in the left corner of the title bar and select Hide. To start a recording when
   the toolbar is hidden, press the SMART Recorder icon and select Record. To stop
   the recording, press the SMART Recorder icon and select Stop.
3. Tips for improving the playback quality of your videos
   • Select the SMART Recorder Video format with 16 million colors rather than the Microsoft Video format that uses 256 colors (see page 32) http://instructech.usi.edu/smartboardguide.pdf
   • Select a higher video quality setting in the SMART Recorder options (see page 31). http://instructech.usi.edu/smartboardguide.pdf You’ll need to balance your expectations for video quality against the limitations of your computer system. The higher the video quality, the larger the files and the demands placed upon your computer system.

Notes on RECORDING your VOICE (I configured the smartboard machine) Choose a quality microphone (volume is pre set) plug into PINK

1. Install speakers or use headset Plug into GREEN
2. Proceed normally
3. Make sure record control is minimized and use the shortcuts to start and stop recording.
4. recording.asp
5. Sound card needs upgrading to 16 or 24 bit for best recording of voice.
