Brad Nikunen replied to Charles Tighe's discussion Cursor disappears in the group SMART Mac Users
"Hmmmm? Now that you say this I have same problem and I think I have just grown accustomed to it. If you have the same problem as me, I will click on Notebook files background and won't see cursor. Curious too."

"I have the same concerns with 10.8 and Lion.... I was told perhaps to wait till there is a service pack. I've heard lots of horror stories. Not sure about 10.8 and Snow Leopard, do you know?  "

"As long as you download the latest Notebook software from www.smarttech, I don't think the Safari 5 update will effect you. If it does, here is Randy's fix for it: "Ok, I now have good news. We've got a workaround for any…"

"Does anyone know if we can do the Safari update yet? I thought I read somewhere to not do that update. Is that still true?"

"Melissa....I love the seamless flow in my day. I have been using SB now for 6 years, and have created a template that I use every day only changing dates and lessons each day. It helps to have all of my lessons in one spot. My district has paid me…"

Brad Nikunen replied to DD's discussion Everyday Math Series in the group 3-5 Teachers
"Oh, yes. We have had several schools ask about that, but our Asst. Supt. has agreed to pay us, and is a bit worried about copyright violation if we release to other school districts. I do know that he has sold these templates to another district (or…"

"I created math templates for our school district one summer (all ED math lessons from K-5) . . . over 700 lessons! We mainly just put all digital content on a SB Notebook file, then put the Checking Progress tests on SMART REsponse. Teachers LOVE it!"

I taught 3rd grade for 10 years before moving up to 4th grade. I love to integrate technology into my classroom, and am especially "tied" to SMART products. My students also appreciate the engaging style of learning, and often are the ones that encourage me to try something new!

As long as you download the latest Notebook software from www.smarttech, I don't think the Safari 5 update will effect you. If it does, here is Randy's fix for it:
"Ok, I now have good news. We've got a workaround for any Response users who have installed Safari 5.0 on their Macs.

http://downloads.smartmacsupport.com/Safari5fix.zip

In the above zip file, there is an app one of our guys created on his spare time to provide everyone a 3-click solution to this problem.

Please note, after applying the fix, if you do find that you need to reinstall the software before we release Notebook Software 10.6 SP1, you will need to run this fix again."

Sorry, you couldn't make it. It was an incredible time to meet others and see SMART's headquarters. Hope I can meet you another time.

I was in Kalispell, MT in Janurary for a week with my wife and another couple. We had fun skiing, snowmobiling, and dog sledding. You live in a beautiful part of the country.
