Another quick way to access information for SMART software is to select its Help menu when you are running the program and have an Internet connection. SMART Notebook and SMART Response, for example,…"
Vanessa Cassie replied to Dodie Ainslie's discussion Receiver issue in the group Senteo or SMART Response Student Clickers"Hi Dodie,
I can answer a few of your questions, although I'm not sure I'm going to be able to solve your problem 100%...
Receivers work across all models, with one exception -- the Response XE units (the ones with the full…"

Vanessa Cassie posted a blog postSMART Product User Guides
I just realized it's been waaaay too long since I updated my pseudo-blog on this website, so it's time to get back on track! I thought I'd start with a simple, but very useful post: how to find user guides for the myriad of SMART products.Personally, I find that sometimes features change, or I don't use a particular aspect of a piece of SMART software for awhile, and when the time comes to recall how to do it, I find myself wasting valuable time playing around looking for the functionality.…See More
Vanessa Cassie replied to Obe Hostetter's discussion 3D Notebook or Notebook 11 feature requests?"I think in theory this would be a nice idea, but in practice it could be even more frustrating. With SMART Meeting Pro software (the corporate version of SMART Notebook), they made the tools toggle themselves off, which at first, I was VERY…"
Vanessa Cassie replied to Patti O'Connell's discussion Document Camera in the group SMART Mac Users"What operating system are you running? I've had issues with connecting the Doc Cam 330 to Windows 7 and Mac Snow Leopard (older operating systems on both Mac & Windows seem to work).
I phone SMART tech support, and they…"
Vanessa Cassie commented on Michele Goshko's group SMART Mac Users"Hi Shannon,
I ran into this with a group the other day. I believe the issue was that there was a version of Notebook for Mac that was released in Jan (and only available for a few days) that interfered with Flash activities. The fix was to…"
Vanessa Cassie replied to ranjani sriram's discussion The red pen does not work on a 10.6 machine. Help! in the group SMART Mac Users"I would guess it's one of 2 issues:
1. Something small is covering the sensor. I've had clients that found a bread crumb in the exact right spot was causing issues -- try blowing on the sensor to clear any bits of 'stuff' that…"
Vanessa Cassie commented on Vanessa Cassie's blog post Proof That SMART Boards are Engaging"Hi Diana,
Thanks for pointing it out! Here's the new link: http://sharpsav.com/blog/if-you-ever-needed-proof.html
Sorry about that... =)

Diana commented on Vanessa Cassie's blog post Proof That SMART Boards are Engaging"Your link appears to not be functioning. I would really like to see this because I also am a consultant in my school district and get this kind of questioning on a regular basis. Thanks for any help so that I can see your "rant" :)"
Colette Retrosi commented on Vanessa Cassie's blog post Think Outside of Notebook - SMART Boards and the World Wide Web"Vanessa,
Thanks for the great resources! If you have any other favorite sites, please email them to me. I am compiling a group at www.guest.portaportal.com/coletteretrosi and on my website.
Thanks!

Vanessa Cassie commented on Laura Jo Pieper's blog post Using notebook created documents viewed as a slideshow"Hi Laura,
There are 2 ways that you can deal with this issue:
1. You can covert Notebook files to powerpoint. To do this, select "File", then "Export" then "Powerpoint". Please be aware that you will lose the…"
Vanessa Cassie posted a blog postThink Outside of Notebook - SMART Boards and the World Wide Web
A bit of a disclaimer before I write this post -- I LOVE SMART Notebook software. I find it's intuitive, easy to navigate and full of potential for lessons from Kindergarten right through Grade 12.But I sometimes feel that 'we', as educators, get a little stuck in the software.While Notebook is a fantastic resource to create interactive content, let's not forget that SMART Boards themselves are the interactive piece. Therefore, using them in conjunction with interactive content, regardless of…See More

Vanessa Cassie replied to Anna Rich's discussion No Floating Tool Bar in Full Screen on Mac in the group SMART Mac Users"Hi Anna,
This should be an 'easy fix' -- simply right-click on the SMART Board Tools icon in your dock, then select "Show Floating Tools" (or alternatively, "Hide Floating Tools" if you want to get rid of them)

Unlike some of the previous tools that I've brought attention to in previous blog posts, I'm guessing that the majority of you have already seen the spinner. But I'm willing to bet that many of you haven't experimented to discover that you can manipulate many of the properties of it to make the spinner work for various applications in your classroom.…

But then reality sets in, as teachers consistently ask for 'tips and tricks' that help them gain that oh-so-elusive, yet valuable commodity: TIME.
And so I decided… Continue
