Connecting the SMART Board
- Plug “VGA” cable into computer – connects you to the projector
- Plug in “USB” cable from the Smartboard – make the Smartboard interactive
- Plug in Sound cable – gives you sound Calibrate – hold the two buttons at the front of the board down
(If you want better Calibration, change the Orient settings as explained on page 2 of this Smart Board guide) - Ask IT for help in getting connected if you need it.
- Ask Digital Learning Coaches for help using the board.
Looking after the SmartBoard
- The board is fairly durable, but some care must still be used.
- You can use dry-erase markers on the surface. Erase dry-erase ink from the writing surface as soon as possible. The longer dry-erase ink remains, the more difficult it is to remove.
- Use an alcohol-free household glass cleaner, such as Windex® glass cleaner, to clean the writing surface.
- Lightly spray cleaner on a cloth, and then gently wipe the screen.
- If you can still see ink marks after cleaning the surface with Windex glass cleaner, use a dry-erase marker cleaner, such as Sanford Expo whiteboard cleaner. For stubborn stains, use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to clean the writing surface.
- Thinner, Alcohol, Acetone or Isopropanol, Permanent marker, Sharp writing instruments, Adhesive tape
