I'm not a SMART table user (unfortunately) but I have played with the software (a while ago). Any way I found this really cool iPad app which you could use as a template to create a SMART table activity (if one hasn't been created already). Here is the app https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/math-slide-hundreds-tens-ones/id588836426?mt=8 you can download for free and play each game twice without…

My co-worker and I have been trouble shooting a board/computer combination for the last two days.  It seemed that there was no apparent reason the computer would not work.  Image projected, but the flashing green light on the tray indicated that the board felt that something was not quite right in the world.  The most promising of all explored solutions seemed to be rolling back the software from the most recent SMART update.  Once that task was completed there was no communication, we had…

I love the concept. The cost is going to keep it from becoming a reality. I read today that in Illinois, 47% of the students live in "low income" families. That is defined as below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. With those numbers, tools like this in many students' homes is unlikely.

SMART is always looking to the future with it's hardware and software, but the money issue will only get more and more prevalent, in my opinion. And true technology integration,…

Last year, as a SMART Exemplary Educator (SEE), I was able to take the online SMART training courses to become a SMART Certified Lesson Developer (SCLD). I was very pleased with the courses overall.

They also have several free courses available. One in particular, Skill Level 1-Engaging Students Through Discussion, was very helpful. In this free, 20 minute course, it talks…

I just did a clean install of Smart Notebook 11, with Notebook 11 SP1 on my Mac (running 10.6). Before I did the clean install, I exported My Gallery and saved it to the desktop. Now it when I try to place it back into the Notebook software it saids "error"! any sugestions on how I can save all my gallery files. Thanks

We have had an interesting case involving a smartboard in which, the controller, the pen tray, all the cables and finally even the board being replaced, yet many notebook files will crash, not work at all, beachballing (on the mac side eh!) and just seem to work and then freeze, whereas a restart must be done. 

This is all happening on a 10.6.8, 7,1 MacBook, with all the latest software updates, Flash updates, shockwave updates, firmware updates, notebook drivers and notebook updates…

Smart is offering a series of Early Childhood webinars showcasing how primary teachers are using the smart board in their classrooms.  The first was held in October and offered many interactive ways to use the Smart board.  They are also offering webinars on STEM for middle and high school.  Although I do not teach in either of these areas, I did find interesting ideas I could adapt for my needs.  The good thing is that these webinars are archived online at …

Has anyone experienced issues with SMART Notebook 11 for Mac, and loosing control of the mouse / trackpad when connected to a SMART Board?"

I've just purchased a SMART document camera. I have been downloading 3D content from SMART Exchange and 3D warehouse in preparation to create some educational resources using 3D content. If any one would like to share and or swap resources/curriculum ideas that would be great. I have uploaded a basic video demonstration about what the 3D content looks like under the video section on this site.

I was able to download an Aegom SMART Notebook file about your skin. If you would like to download the sample, you can as well.

It has some interesting features. There are clear instructions for all of the activities. There are a few animations that explain the skin and the parts and what they do. The content is appropriate for 4th grade and above, in my opinion.
