Tutorials


This Web page is designed to provide faculty and staff with information on how to work with a SMART Interactive Whiteboard.  The SMART Board is used as a projection tool for use in classrooms.  These boards are located in several classrooms throughout the university and in the Windows Lab in the Computer Center.  In addition, there are Portable SMART Boards located in classrooms throughout the University.  The SMART Boards in the classrooms and the Portable SMART Boards work the same except for the way they are started. The information contained on this page should be helpful to the faculty and staff who have never used the SMART Board before or who may want to learn about some of the additional features of these boards.
