SMART Board

A SMART Board is an interactive electronic whiteboard manufactured by SMART Technologies, Inc. When interactive, the whiteboard acts as a giant touch screen. You simply drag your finger across the whiteboard and the mouse follows. 

 

If you need more information about the SMART Board, ask the TIS at your school.

 

How can I install the SMART Board software on my computer?

How do I know that the SMART Board is connected correctly to my computer?

  • The SMART Board should be plugged into the USB port on the side of the computer.  If the SMART Board is connected properly, a green light will be on in the bottom right hand corner of the SMART Board.  A red light means it’s not connected properly.
  • If you do see a red light, try unplugging the SMART Board cord from the computer then plugging it back in.
