"@Connie- I'm not sure if anyone has answered your question about changing your default font.  Here's a video tutorial on that.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPAUmq158gY&feature=plcp"

"Thanks Troy.  Is there a way to make this happen with any other objects?  I'd like to create some other pages for students that will "snap" objects into place.  Any ideas?"

"I have also heard that a "sock" ball works well.  Get a pair of men's athletic socks, knot one up and put it in the other.  Tie a knot just above the one inside and "fling" the sock at the board."

Hi Brandie,

I wanted to invite you to check out a website that I created for students and teachers.  http://www.bubbabrain.com - play the demo game on the homepage to understand how the software works.  The website is free and works great on smartboards.
