I am in a smart board class and the instructor showed us how to do a time save a project on a PC.  Is that available on the Mac.

How do I hide the pages on the side to students can see what is next.

Refresh rate is how often your screen is redrawn on your screen.  Typically, the higher the refresh rate, the less flickering there is,   For some people, the higher the refresh rate, that means less headaches and eye strain.  Most teachers like 85 instead of 60 in my school division.

Obe....
What does the refresh rate do? Yesterday I installed the new SB 885 in my room and changed refresh rate to 85. I figured more is better??? Haha.

Dianne,

 

That rule no longer exists if you are using Notebook 10.6 and Snow Leopard.

I don't use the Mac side of my computer very often so I need to know if the rule of using 5 flash files per notebook still applies. Someone told me the latest update fixed the freezing when more are used. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the response!  I'll give it a shot tomorrow and report back!

Check your display settings with your computer and projector on.

1. System preferences

2. Click on Displays

3. Select the arrangement tab and make sure you have mirroring checked.  Try different resolutions.  Most Epson projectors like 1024 X 768 (or 800 X 600).  You can also try different refresh rates (60-85htz).

4. Try dragging the SMART Board tools to where you want it.

Hi Everyone,

A strange thing happened this week:  My floating tools tab, which IS visible on my teacher computer, has all of a sudden gone off the edge of the touch screen as it is projected, making it impossible to use the floating tools while I am teaching.  I have the Epson Powerlite 83+ Projector mounted and have played around with all I can think of in the menu of the projector.  The screen can shrink and expand, but the floating tools seem to have been completely pushed off of what is being projected.  Has anyone ever had this happen?  Please advise, this is the most irritating thing ever.  Thanks!

We don't use the SMART Board aware tool with Word, Excel or PowerPoint 2004, so we rename the Aware app to NOT aware (Located in SMART Product Drivers folder-sometimes the Additional Tools folder).  Just know by renaming the Aware tool, it will get rid of the toolbar in Word/PowerPoint too so those programs may act different.  See our SMART MAC troubleshooting guide at http://www.rockingham.k12.va.us/resources/smartboard.htm#troublesho...

 

Restart your computer after renaming the aware app.  You could always rename aware back to aware if you don't like the results.
