SMART-STOPS... A Weekly STOP for SMARTBoard Stuff

Q: Want a fast and fresh approach to a little PD during your planning?

A: Try stopping by our weekly SMART-STOP for a digital 'Make & Take' you can use the next day in your classroom.

Week 1: The Magic Pen

Set-up:

1. Find a Microsoft Word document or PDF file that you can use in class to annotate.

2. From within that file choose PRINT > Smart Notebook Capture. This will automatically put your document into a Smart Notebook file.

Nitty Gritty:

1. Choose the Magic Pen tool.

2. Draw any annotation on a page in your new Notebook file. Watch the markings self-destruct...I
mean disappear in 10 seconds! 

3. Draw a circle with the Magic Pen and it will 'spotlight' that area. You can grab the circle and move or resize.

4. Draw a square with the Magic Pen and that square area will zoom in!

Conclusion: Yes! It really is magic.
