Presenting on the Interactive Whiteboard
Tip
Use Notebook software
to create a presentation
at your desktop
computer. Store the
presentation on a floppy
disk, insert it in the
computer attached to the
board, and display the
file at your meeting in
Full Screen view.
Alternatively, make the
file accessible on your
local area network.

Tip
Use the Ctrl + F
keyboard shortcut to
quickly open the Full
Screen view.
The SMART Board interactive whiteboard was designed to maximize the power of
presentations. A variety of features – both hardware- and software-based – make the job of
presenting information in an interactive fashion easy for the presenter and stimulating for the
audience.
Customizing the Notebook Interface
You can easily customize the Notebook interface to suit your changing needs. For example,
when developing presentation materials, use Notebook software in Normal rather than Full
Screen view. All the tools required to create, import and edit annotation objects are available
in this view, making it the optimal setting for creating or revising annotation objects − in other
words, for creating presentations and taking notes.
To present that same material on an interactive whiteboard, however, the enlarged viewing
space provided in Full Screen view, free of all toolbar clutter, is preferable.
Full Screen View
You can use Notebook software in Normal view − that is, from a resizable, movable window
with a command menu, scroll, tool and title bars − or in Full Screen view. Full Screen view
maximizes available workspace on the interactive whiteboard or computer screen, filling the
entire viewing area, and neither the menus, toolbar, title bar, scroll bars, Task Bar nor status
bar are visible.
To activate Full Screen view in a Windows operating system:
1 Select Full Screen from the View menu.
or
Press the Full Screen button on the right side of the status bar.
The Task Bar and title bar, menus, and scroll bars all disappear and the Notebook
interface will appear enlarged, filling the entire interactive whiteboard.
A discrete three-button toolbar will remain in view, letting you navigate through your
presentation, return to Normal view and keep track of the time with the system clock.
