Notebook on MACs can't import PowerPoints to Notebook but Notebook on Windows computers (File-import) can so many teachers use a windows computer to convert a PowerPoint into Notebook format.  Once the file is in Notebook format it works on the MACs too.

Thank you, Ian...I'm a new Mac user!...what would an example of an Interactive Whiteboard Common File Format .iwb, be?  I get that prompt, but have no clue.

@Joanne Notebook 10.8 for Mac can import the Interactive Whiteboard Common File Format (.iwb) but does not support importing PowerPoint (.ppt).

@VV> While we always say touch the board with intent, it doesn't require a lot of force for the board to actually pick up on the touch.  My suggestion: see if you can try it with another computer.  If while connected to the new computer, you still need just as much if not more force to actually get it to register a touch point, I would highly consider calling into Tech support Hardware to get the board diagnosed - sounds like the resistive layers are starting to go defective.

One of my teachers are claiming that they have to "push really hard for it to recognize touch." Is there a way to change the sensitivity?

Thanks!

Our teachers have noticed that unchecking the mirroring and trying to use two screens doesn't work anymore.  They end up losing their mouse. I am not happy with the new version of SMART Notebook, as teachers have had a ton of problems with it and it is getting annoying.

I just set my zoom for 150% and it keeps it as the default for Word 2008 until I change it for that user.

@obe hostetter

Can you set the default for word on a mac to stay at 150% so that it can be seen better by students?

@Susan Armusewicz You can turn off mirroring by going to system preferences-displays-arrangement tab and uncheck mirroring.  Now to show something on the SMART Board, you have to drag your window to the right of your screen so it shows. 

 

However, many of the teachers I work with prefer to use the freeze (or blank or black button) on their projector remote.  This freezes the image on the SMART Board so you can take attendance, do grades, email and then hit the freeze button again to use the SMART Board.
