As a follow-up to my How to set up a SmartBoard video, I will do 5 SmartBoard Notebook Tool Tricks. It is a quick way to showcase a few things that the SmarBoard has to offer that teachers will hopefully find useful. The video starts with live action and then is a screencasting...
SmartNotebook 10 - Tips and Tricks (for the Technology section of Light Bulbs)
1) Title of the video on a SmartBoard (upbeat music playing courtesy of GarageBand)
2) I open the video by talking with Smarty - The SmartBoard character about how great the SmartBoard is and telling the viewer how many great things that can be done with the software.
3)"Tip 1 - You don't need the SmartBoard to plan a lesson" - Smarty gets offended and pushed out of the way.
4) Shot of computer loading the notebook software "All you need is a computer with the Notebook software"
5) New Tools - Magic Pen - Showcase of how the magic pen works
6) My Gallery - Show how to save pictures to use over and over again - Export Gallery
7)What about erasing - The eraser trick that saves time (Circle Tap)
8)Printing from Word or other Programs to Notebook Software...
9) And that's it - Five tips that will make your SmartBoard use even easier and better
10) Smarty comes onto the screen and says goodbye
11) Credits over music
I have been thinking about this idea for a few weeks now - and although it is mostly a screencast, I will try to use effects and text to make it even more engaging - Also I decided to throw in the SmartBoard character again because he was a "big hit" - and I like mixing live action with the screencast - makes the video more entertaining.
Please let me know what you all think - I will be happy to entertain any ideas or suggestions!
Thanks,
Adam

Hello Adam,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for your next video. I don't think that teachers realize how many different things they can do with Notebook tools. Maybe you can demonstrate the use of each tool more than once to reinforce how to use it. I'm looking forward to seeing Smarty, the SmartBoard Character again.
I love you first video...I have nothing to say other than it rocks!
