A few little tricks of the trade I've picked up these past few months... and a rant:
Useful Tricks:
1. If you want to group a bunch of items from the computer, select and press "Ctrl G".
2. Selecting dual screen view helps you to see more stuff -- previous slide and current work, so all the work and vocab from the warm-up doesn't disappear when you go to the main problem. (Only thing is it becomes kind of small... we really do need a wider smart board, lol!)
3. That darned pen is so thick... you can make it skinnier, to record more ideas -- click on the lines, when you have the pen, and choose a thinner line to write with!
My Rant: Most supply teachers aren't familiar with the IWB technology, so leaving supply plans is a bit tricky, and requires a return to pencil and paper. :(
