Speaker components (if applicable) 2. Wheels and stability of smartboard. 3. Different mounting options 4. How do you know if the smartboard is receiving power? 5. How to use in a lower grade classroom: Use Step Aerobic steps, milk crate, some larger surface to avoid students falling 6. What are the parts of the smartboard? a.4 pens that sit in sensor trays b. 1 eraser 7. Storage of items a. Cover: bed sheet or asking PTA to make a custom cover b. Pens and eraser: Use Velcro and mount to back of the device

8. Participants spend ten minutes in groups coming up to the smartboard and actually setting up the device. Facilitators are assisting the students to ensure they have setup the smartboard correctly and launched the notebook software.

Other participants will investigate the different Interactive Whiteboards available. What are the differences and the similarities? Participants will look individually at the four different types of Interactive whiteboard choices (links are above). Participants spend 10 minutes in a pair and share “What you were surprised to find out?” Share out with the group.

1. Using the different pens on the board. a.How do the pens work? b.What can be used as a substitute for a pen? c. What happens if you misplace a pen? 2. Using the eraser on the board. a.How does the eraser work? b.What can be used as a substitute for a eraser? c. What happens if you misplace the eraser? 3. Toggling between the pens and the eraser. 4. What applications does the penning feature work on? a.Applications b. Internet c. Smart Notebook Software 5. What are the differences between the usages in different applications? 6. Participants spend 10 minutes pair and sharing when it would most advantageous to use the smart notebook software vs an application.

=Hour 4=

1. Software a. Where to find it? [|Link to Software]

**//Software Serial Number//** : NB-AEAAQ-B2JQE-YAITJ-UKAIP

b. What is its importance?

2. What are slides? 3. How do you add a new slide? 4. How do you save your work? 5. What is a tool bar? 6. What tools are available on a tool bar? 7. How does a tool bar become customized? 8.Why customize a tool bar? 9.What are the different penning options? 10.What shapes are available? How to use the shapes? 11.What is the main difference between the shapes and penning: The eraser only works on the penning function.


 * 12. Group Question**: Considering there are different devices with different software, what is more important? The software? The device? Why? Pair and share to discuss. Look back at the resources to determine. Create a chart and have one person from each group share their discussions, while the other writes the information on the chart using the pens.

=Hour 5=

1. Participants access Smart Notebook software on their computers (facilitators are circling room to ensure all applications open properly) 2. Students spend 30 minutes experimenting with the different tools previously taught 3. After 30 minutes students pair and share the frustrations with the software and their highlights with the software 4. As a whole group students share their new discoveries while demonstrating for class

Conclusion question: Each participant is invited to share one highlight from today’s class and one item they are looking forward to.

__**Homework assignment**__: Download smart notebook software and create a slide that has: What I knew, what I learned and what I want to learn. Save to USB drive and bring in for next class.
