This week we will continue to build on what we learned in SMART Ink: The Basics; you may wish to review this first if you haven’t already. Today I would like to share a video tutorial that shows you how to do the following in SMART Ink: * recognize text and insert it into a document or program; * turn SMART Ink on and off; * access the new settings option (available to Windows users only).

The last word shared on this blog concerning SMART Ink was how to turn it off and back on again. Let’s take a step back now and take a good look at SMART Ink: what it is, how it differs from Transparent Background and Floating Tools, and the basics of how it works. So, what is SMART Ink? If you watched the video tutorial on the Transparent Background or if you have used the Floating Continue…
Did you know that all of the tools found in Notebook software are available to be used with any other program on your computer? This tutorial shows one way to use the transparent background with a video in your web browser. How many other ways will you find to use this tool in your classroom?

Many districts have already started and perhaps even finished testing their students.

Wouldn’t it be nice (don’t start singing that Beach Boys song just yet) if there were lessons Continue…
One of the elementary schools in my neighborhood is starting a dual immersion spanish program. For those not familiar with the strategy, the first half of the day is spent in one language and the second half of the day is spent in the other.
