It has been about a year since I added a post to this blog. The reason for this is that I have been working on a new and improved method of sharing educational ideas, tools, tech tips, and resources. I have created a new site at <a href="http://educationalresource.org/">Educationalresource.org</a>. I will be updating and posting to this site from now on. Please come and explore the new site an let me know what you think.</div>

I recently installed a second SATA hard drive on a client's computer. I have done this a thousand times but for some reason, the computer would detect the hard drive, but not allow it to be displayed in the "Computer" section of Windows 7. After a little Googling, I came across a YouTube video that helped fix the issue, and it only took seconds. Please be careful following other advice out their. Many of the sites I came across mentioned formatting the hard drive. This would have been fine except that I needed the secondary hard drive to not be formatted because it contained the client's old information.<br />
<br />
1. Go to "computer management." You can get there by right clicking on "Computer" and then selecting the "Manage" option.<br />
<br />
2. Click on "Disk Management." You should now see a list of all the hard drives that are connected. Find the drive that currently isn't displaying. You might find the error "<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">The disk is offline because it has a signature collision with another disk that is online." That is the drive you want to fix. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">3. Right click on it and and select the "Online" option. That should be it. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Below is the Youtube video that put me in the right place.</span><br />

Have you ever felt like your Windows machine took too long to boot up? How about feeling like your memory was already eaten up before you had a chance to open your first program? The reason for this could be that you have multiple programs trying to get loaded into your system's memory before ever even having a chance to get booted up. A Windows machine should never, in my opinion, take longer than 90 seconds to boot up and then open up your internet home page. Get a timer out and time your machines boot up as soon as you push the start button. When you first get into Windows, click on your browser icon. Once your homepage is fully loaded stop the timer. If it took more than 90 seconds that is too long. Try getting rid of start up processes. Below is a tutorial on how this is done.<br />
<br />
Speeding up my Startup Tutorial<br />
<br />
1. Go to your "search" and search for the program "msconfig". If you are using Windows XP try going to "Start" and then "Run" and type "msconfig" into the run bar.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wAw5ydaD_dM/Uscu2ASqArI/AAAAAAAAGRc/U24U41bukic/s1600/Screenshot_1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="164" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wAw5ydaD_dM/Uscu2ASqArI/AAAAAAAAGRc/U24U41bukic/s320/Screenshot_1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. You should get a new Windows dialogue box. Click on the "Startup" tab. In Windows 7 or 8 you will then need to click the "Open Task Manager" link. In Windows XP you are ready for step 3.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_LTAAUPaTgc/Uscu7qUJvBI/AAAAAAAAGRk/OZNBJSH4EIw/s1600/Screenshot_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_LTAAUPaTgc/Uscu7qUJvBI/AAAAAAAAGRk/OZNBJSH4EIw/s400/Screenshot_2.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. You will now see a bunch of different programs that load their processes into your system's memory during the loading of Windows. On Windows XP just uncheck the boxes of programs you are for sure not wanting to load during startup. On Windows 7 and 8 just click on the program and select then click the "disable" option found at the bottom of the right hand corner.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vwh9-x0ueN8/UscvBKct7JI/AAAAAAAAGRs/gzNLqLj-GBQ/s1600/Screenshot_3.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="155" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vwh9-x0ueN8/UscvBKct7JI/AAAAAAAAGRs/gzNLqLj-GBQ/s640/Screenshot_3.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Once you are all done you will need to restart your machine. NOTE of CAUTION: I try to stay away from disabling things that are from Windows and anything that mentions hardware like sound and video. Also know that because the program is not in your memory, it will take slightly longer to open the first time you do, but since I don't use say Adobe Reader every day, I always have it disabled and then when I need it, it will take just a little longer to open. <br />
<br />
Now to verify that your boot time has improved, complete another time test. I hope this help. There are many reasons a computer boots slowly though, this is just a simple trick to try to improve the speed.<br />

Even pros get stupid adware and viruses. I was trying to download software for my son and woke up this morning with new ads on every page that I googled. To see if you have the "Higher Aurum Ads" adware, look at one of the ads displaying. Somewhere, usually at the bottom or the left hand side of an ad, see if it is labeled with "Higher Aurum Ads." Other indications were that I would get a popup box to the left and a permanent ad at the bottom of every page. Also, where Google normally has their High Paid ads on a Google search, I found those replaced with the "Higher Aurum Ads." Below is a tutorial on how to remove it and samples of the ads.<br />
<br />
Samples of the Higher Aurum Ads.<br />

Removal of the Higher Aurum Ads instructions<br />
<br />
1. The nice thing about this adware is that it is very simple to remove. First go to your "Add and Remove Programs" or "Uninstall a Program" feature of your control panel. If you have Windows 8, just do a search for Uninstall a Program. Once you are in your "Add and Remove Programs," locate the "Higher Aurum" file. It will have other numbers next to it that just indicates the version.<br />
<br />

In many spreadsheet programs you just right click on selected cells and format the column to wrap text. In Google spreadsheets however you don't have to right click and format your cells. Google has made it very easy to wrap text using a toolbar button. Below is a quick tutorial on how to wrap text in Google spreadsheets.<br />
<br />
1. Highlight the cells in which text wrapping will occur.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CCGPW6UoPqw/UrDpBAzRcbI/AAAAAAAAGFE/Em4xI7Jq1aM/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CCGPW6UoPqw/UrDpBAzRcbI/AAAAAAAAGFE/Em4xI7Jq1aM/s320/1.png" width="320" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
2. Locate the "Wrap text" icon/button on the Google Spreadsheet toolbar. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Your text should now start wrapping.</div>

Well this problem took me quite awhile to figure out. I had a client bring her machine in with a bunch of spyware and malware issues. I cleaned those up right away, installed Microsoft Security Essentials. One of the options in Microsoft Security Essentials was to make sure the Windows Firewall was turned on. After reading blogs and tech sites for about 2 hours, I thought I might go back and just disable the Firewall and MS Security Essentials. That was the key. For whatever reason when the Firewall services were starting automatically I would get about a 90 second delay after logging in. I would just see a black screen with a working mouse, but no desktop.<br />
<br />
I don't know if this solution will help anybody but this Windows Vista machine, but here is a tutorial on delaying the Windows Firewall start up.<br />
<br />
1. Click your start button and type in the search area "services."<br />
<br />
2. Open your "services" program.<br />
<br />
3. Scroll until you find "Windows Firewalls." Double click on it.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Verify that this is your issue by changing the Automatic to "Manual."<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Restart your machine and see if this solves your issue with a long black screen delay after the welcome screen.<br />
<br />
<br />
After all the research I have concluded that there are probably many reasons why you get a black screen after logging in. So far this is a method that worked for this particular machine. HP Pavillion a6313w<br />

One of my students came up to me and let me know that her mouse pad on her Toshiba Satellite quit working. With a quick search of the keypad I found a symbol that looked like it could resemble a touchpad. Sure enough, it was the touchpad lock.<br />

Check for a symbol on the F5 key. Some say it is the F9 key, but for our Toshibas it is definitely the F5 Key.</div>

For those districts using GAFE (Google Apps For Education) and specifically the ability to collaborate on work with staff and students and who have used the "Comments" part of any document, you might be interested in using "Voice Comments" extension. With "Voice Comments" you can quickly give and receive feedback on documents within Google Drive. This extension works well and is easy to use. A nice newly added touch to Voice Comments is the ability to add external links such as Youtube videos that might just help students get a little more information about their topic. Give it a try, I think you will be impressed.<br />

My Windows 8 touchscreen quit working. I found quite a few posts with the same issue. The computer I have is a Sony Vaio T Series Ultrabook. The model number that I have is: <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.818181991577148px;">SVT1511L </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.818181991577148px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.818181991577148px;"><br /></span>
The solution for me was to download and install the Firmware update. I don't know why it wasn't automatic. I found the update at: <a href="http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=SVT15112CXS&upd_id=8475&os_group_id=24">http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=SVT15112CXS&upd_id=8475&os_group_id=24</a><br />
<br />
Let me know if this solution works for you.<br />

Follow these steps to import mark tables. This tutorial is meant mainly for the Snowflake Unified School Districts gradebook, but the steps are pretty much the same for the program no matter which school you use.<br />
<br />
1. Click on "Utility" and choose the "Import Mark Tables" option.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xS-HVX-fKfs/UgxGHio3CAI/AAAAAAAAFFs/sTgi5PWSPPo/s1600/Screenshot_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="125" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xS-HVX-fKfs/UgxGHio3CAI/AAAAAAAAFFs/sTgi5PWSPPo/s320/Screenshot_1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. If you are a teacher at an elementary school pick the "Elementary/Standards Mark Table" option. If you are at the Middle or High Schools pick the "Secondary Mark Tables" option. Click OK.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wPvLGwx63TE/UgxGSOMteeI/AAAAAAAAFF0/Cxln0JqrDx8/s1600/Screenshot_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="147" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wPvLGwx63TE/UgxGSOMteeI/AAAAAAAAFF0/Cxln0JqrDx8/s320/Screenshot_2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Pick the type of mark table you want to use. Most likely it would be the "Standard" option. Not sure what all of the others are, but they must be specific to different schools. Click OK.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vnQhkyVoUTs/UgxGnmGW79I/AAAAAAAAFF8/66tHrnUbK1U/s1600/Screenshot_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="254" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vnQhkyVoUTs/UgxGnmGW79I/AAAAAAAAFF8/66tHrnUbK1U/s320/Screenshot_3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Now go back to your gradebook and select the "Configuration" from the "View" menu. Under "Mark Table" select the Standard Mark Table option or whatever mark table you imported.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Every once in a while I have a technical experience I like to share. The following on just happened moments ago.<br />
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
I
just received a phone call about how my computer is having extreme
issues. I told them they were crazy but I was curious so I followed
along. They will take you into your computer and show you errors that
have come up and then try to convince you that you need to log into a
website so they can clean out your computer. Do not follow them. In
then end after I Googled the conversation and told them they sounded
like a scam they hung up on me. So I am just giving you a warning.
These guys even said they were from Microsoft and sounded legit.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
After
doing some research, I found that this isn't a new scam. It has
been circulating since about 2010. At least that is the oldest date I
could find. Many people get taken by computer scams every year, so I
just wanted to warn my readers that it is still circulating.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

The website they are trying to send you to is<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://ammyy.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">ammyy.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>. Now Ammyy.com is a legitimate site for sharing your desktop with people. Just don't use them to share with these scammers.<br />
<br />
Beware!!! Remember to talk to a IT professional that you know, before
giving information out over the phone and email. None of the big
companies out there will call you or email you out of the blue and ask
for information.</div>

Sometime in May or June I noticed that my Windows 8 and Windows Vista machines quit playing some of the <a href="http://youtube.com/" target="_blank">YouTube </a>videos. The videos would always start but in my case they would quit playing and buffering at 14 seconds. I spent hours on this problem so I hope you don't have to.<br />
<br />
I tried Chrome, IE, and Firefox and they all stopped exactly at the same spot. I tried browsers on Windows XP and it worked fine. I also didn't see any problems on my iPad, Smartphone, or Droid tablet.<br />
<br />
I tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash. <br />
<br />
I finally came across an obscure post of somebody that had the exact same problem I tried his solution and it worked great for me. So if your <a href="http://youtube.com/" target="_blank">YouTube</a> playback symptoms are:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Stopping video at specific time</li>
<li>Stopping and Starting</li>
</ol>
<div>
then try this Google Chrome solution. So far it works at 100%.</div>

The activity builder was a nice touch from the people at Smarttech. With the activity builder you can create categorization activities quite quickly. Students will drag items from the the Notebook page into a category and if they are right the object will stay or disappear and if the student is wrong the item will bounce back to where it was. Using the activity builder is extremely useful and very easy to use.<br />
<br />

Smartboard Activity Builder Tutorial</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Using the "shapes" button, create shapes for each category you will use. In this example I will use three.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HO_Yob4Q2Ik/Ufbl6cRwLMI/AAAAAAAAE78/gTtXWu87MEU/s1600/Screenshot_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HO_Yob4Q2Ik/Ufbl6cRwLMI/AAAAAAAAE78/gTtXWu87MEU/s1600/Screenshot_1.jpg" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Create your first shape and then copy and paste it for however many categories that you have.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e8xSIm6Iacg/UfbmJw-A2JI/AAAAAAAAE8E/OUATUpn7dvs/s1600/Screenshot_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e8xSIm6Iacg/UfbmJw-A2JI/AAAAAAAAE8E/OUATUpn7dvs/s320/Screenshot_2.jpg" height="107" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. To add some flare to the shapes I added a picture to each one. To do that, click the object and then the "Properties" button. Click the "Image fill" option under "Fill Effects."</div>

16. You should notice that your text and objects now have a green or red box next to them. Green is for the words that get accepted and red is for those that get rejected.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

17. Follow those instructions for the other two category shapes that we already set up. Now click on the "Settings" button for each category shape. Decide what action need to happen when the object is accepted or rejected. Notice that if you attached a sound to an object you can also get that object's sound to play if it is either rejected or accepted.</div>

I use the screen shade option a ton. If you haven't given it a try, you should. I like to give visual and oral quizzes to my students. I use the screen shade so that we can all be on the same question at the same time. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tutorial</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Just click on the "Screen Shate" button.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0gfyLhkN6v0/UfF1Kwf-wpI/AAAAAAAAE3k/oq_-iksjyVQ/s1600/Screenshot_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="97" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0gfyLhkN6v0/UfF1Kwf-wpI/AAAAAAAAE3k/oq_-iksjyVQ/s320/Screenshot_1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Everything on your screen should now be behind the "Screen Shade."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oT9oCLsEeYs/UfF1SGOw_CI/AAAAAAAAE3s/7CVl2kAzDDI/s1600/Screenshot_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="134" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oT9oCLsEeYs/UfF1SGOw_CI/AAAAAAAAE3s/7CVl2kAzDDI/s320/Screenshot_2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. You should see 3 dots on your screen shade and a red "x". The red "x" will reveal everything behind your shade. The three dots are control handles that let you drag your screen shade down or left and right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. I just drag the screen down revealing questions and answers as I go. Give it a shot.</div>

With Smartboard notebook you have the capability of viewing and browsing the web right from the Notebook software. You can set it up so that once you are done viewing with one class you can reset the site to go back to the beginning.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tutorial</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Click on "Insert" and then choose the "Internet Browser" option. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S3P5Ww368dg/UfFw-8RZMVI/AAAAAAAAE28/yIUywGN6ktY/s1600/Screenshot_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S3P5Ww368dg/UfFw-8RZMVI/AAAAAAAAE28/yIUywGN6ktY/s320/Screenshot_1.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. You should now see Notebook's default page appear. At the very bottom is the URL bar. Type or paste an internet address into the URL bar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qOAQh7aRcVE/UfFxKKHi0kI/AAAAAAAAE3E/2aqoI49SZDI/s1600/Screenshot_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qOAQh7aRcVE/UfFxKKHi0kI/AAAAAAAAE3E/2aqoI49SZDI/s320/Screenshot_2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. In this example I went to the dogs page on Animal Planet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h_-CeWtG90w/UfFxcheT6hI/AAAAAAAAE3M/D-66d7fA68M/s1600/Screenshot_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h_-CeWtG90w/UfFxcheT6hI/AAAAAAAAE3M/D-66d7fA68M/s320/Screenshot_3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Next to the URL bar, you will see two pins. The right pin is kind of like a "Bookmark." Pin the address. Now you can browse this site and go where you want with your classroom.

Here is a quick Smartboard Notebook trick that will let you move from page to page in your Notebook 11 software. You can still use, of course the forward and backward arrows. <br />
<br />
A quicker way might be to simply swipe your finger right to move a page forward or swipe your finger left to move a page backward. You can thumb through your pages quite quickly from either side of the Smarboard using this technique.</div>

If you are a person who is slightly on the perfectionist side, you will like using the "Alignment" option. Alignment allows you to view how your Notebook items are going to align with another Notebook item. Using this tool will allow you to easily set up neat and organized pages.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tutorial</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Once you are in the Smartboard Notebook software program, click the "View" from the menu bar and choose the alignment tool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zV_1v8M7CAE/UfFopHl6IbI/AAAAAAAAE2U/MC5T6okwBiI/s1600/Screenshot_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zV_1v8M7CAE/UfFopHl6IbI/AAAAAAAAE2U/MC5T6okwBiI/s320/Screenshot_1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Decide how many of the alignment guides you will want to help you set up your Notebook page. I choose them all. Checking all the boxes give guidelines in vertical and horizontal directions and will "Snap" the objects in place correctly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9IoG_4mGmfc/UfFo2D2CaLI/AAAAAAAAE2c/asa6Un0JdBo/s1600/Screenshot_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9IoG_4mGmfc/UfFo2D2CaLI/AAAAAAAAE2c/asa6Un0JdBo/s320/Screenshot_2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. So if I want to snap this one in perfect alignment with the other ones, I drag it close and then you will see lines appear to show you what your alignment is like. You can see that the bottom left one has 3 lines going horizontally and 3 lines going vertically which indicates that I am perfectly aligned with the other ones.</div>

Here is a great idea when using your Smart Notebook program. Dazzle your students with your ability to draw by using the transparent background and tracing images. You can also use the transparent background and still interact and browse the web. Once you are done tracing and marking things up, your work gets saved into your Notebook presentation.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tutorial</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. First right click somewhere your your menu bar if you don't already have your transparent background button.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TuuBzrFJLsU/UfBrX7RCTGI/AAAAAAAAE1s/TWMbDWP6uSM/s1600/Screenshot_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="86" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TuuBzrFJLsU/UfBrX7RCTGI/AAAAAAAAE1s/TWMbDWP6uSM/s400/Screenshot_4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Scroll down until you find the "Transparent Background" icon. Left click and drag the icon to your menu bar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q1VRHChedzo/UfBrQh3dAHI/AAAAAAAAE1k/mDs51cE9Z-k/s1600/Screenshot_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="185" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q1VRHChedzo/UfBrQh3dAHI/AAAAAAAAE1k/mDs51cE9Z-k/s400/Screenshot_1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. You should now have the button on your toolbar. Click on it and your window to Notebook will disappear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Your Smartboard Notebook will appear to disappear. You will now see another toolbar. If you have the clicker/instant response system you can even add questions right from your transparent screen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. In this example I found an image of a dog and was able to trace it into my Notebook software. I don't even draw well so you all that are artists this could be a great tool.<br />

Have you ever had to spend time erasing all the ink off of your Smarboard Notebook? I know that you can take your eraser and draw a big circle around your ink and then touch the middle and that can clear the in, but here is a little known secret that might save some time. Use the "Clear Ink" button. The problem is that the "Clear Ink" button isn't standard on the toolbar and that's why most don't know it exists. Below is a tutorial on how to add the "Clear Ink" to your tool bar as well as use it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tutorial</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Right click on your toolbar, and a new dialogue box will appear. All of these buttons can be added to the tool bar. Just take any of of these buttons, left click and drag the button to the toolbar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7sFGse0Ooqk/Ue1afqld7pI/AAAAAAAAEx0/0wUcy7yrYOc/s1600/Screenshot_1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7sFGse0Ooqk/Ue1afqld7pI/AAAAAAAAEx0/0wUcy7yrYOc/s400/Screenshot_1.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Your "Clear Ink" button is now on your toolbar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lP9j1OFCNqc/Ue1bNZzK-YI/AAAAAAAAEx8/zbQUMXJhVow/s1600/Screenshot_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lP9j1OFCNqc/Ue1bNZzK-YI/AAAAAAAAEx8/zbQUMXJhVow/s1600/Screenshot_2.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. So lets say your a diagramming and drawing on a map on one of your Smart Notebook pages. The example below doesn't show much ink so using an eraser is fine, but if you can get into the habit of using the "Clear Ink" button you will save time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. The cool thing about the "Clear Ink" button is that it leaves your other objects alone and doesn't delete them. This is an easy way to clear the board and get ready for your next class.</div>

Has the power ever gone off and you have regretted not having saved a document? Don't ever let that happen when using Smartboard Notebook software. You can set up the document for saved times and even set it up to save to a different document type. Below is a tutorial on how to use your "Timed Save" feature.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tutorial</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. A good habit to get into is this first step. When you first open up your Notebook software, click on "File" and then select the "Timed Saves..." option.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWJh-hlF0wOOLtHTy3cHpxUpkCPrj_2eFBhiPLG-HxWR2T2m9cvW0jdryKveDFzuRWzXzT2AEStGs0iMii02LQbB3HM3F9hlq_9Hklp61fuMIMJcYFnGqZgbCrhFKsowe4lFwF5jfZGQ/s1600/Screenshot_1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWJh-hlF0wOOLtHTy3cHpxUpkCPrj_2eFBhiPLG-HxWR2T2m9cvW0jdryKveDFzuRWzXzT2AEStGs0iMii02LQbB3HM3F9hlq_9Hklp61fuMIMJcYFnGqZgbCrhFKsowe4lFwF5jfZGQ/s320/Screenshot_1.png" width="279" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Set up the Notebook timed save to what ever you want. I actually have my set up to the second option "Every time I move to a different page." This option is nice because I move through pages quickly and it save automatically as I create and edit my pages.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Decide what file type you want your document to be automatically saved too. Click the "Next" button.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. If you haven't saved your document yet, you will see a dialogue box that forces you to give your Notebook file a name. Click the "Save" button and you are all set.</div>

It is probably a good idea at the end of each school year to reset your course. With resetting your course you can delete grades, quiz attempts, forum posts, and pretty much anything else that your students added to your course from the beginning of the year. Below is a tutorial on how to reset your course so that you get a fresh start in the upcoming school year.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div>
1. Make sure you are logged in as the course creator for you Moodle class. It might reset as well if you are the course teacher, but I am not sure. Once you are logged into the course you should find under you administration options a link that says "Reset." Click it.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
1a. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of your "Moodle" page you can choose the "Select default" button, which will do most of the check boxes for you. This is the option that I use when resetting my Moodle courses. If you want to see what they other options are for then keep reading the tutorial.</div>

Sometimes when creating a website in Google sites, you may only want the public to view certain pages and keep some pages private either to yourself or with a group. For example I created a site that contains two categories of fillable forms. One category called High School Forms and one category called District forms. I only want the public to have access to the High School Forms and only teachers to have access to District forms. Below is a tutorial on how to create sites with page level permissions.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tutorial</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Log into you Google Site. Click the "Share" button.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-sRYs4fCNFHqvndbqZr7rF4PDxhy1xKImgwQsQDT5CnTYS4gKenzqbyFQ2rqA2ZHvBHgDtwrpDf5MjbaRpy7pK3UozRbrcvy6GKzqiw8xdg40BWgAC6vtrxYQV8DSL5R7X0m94riJqQ/s1600/Screenshot_1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="57" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-sRYs4fCNFHqvndbqZr7rF4PDxhy1xKImgwQsQDT5CnTYS4gKenzqbyFQ2rqA2ZHvBHgDtwrpDf5MjbaRpy7pK3UozRbrcvy6GKzqiw8xdg40BWgAC6vtrxYQV8DSL5R7X0m94riJqQ/s320/Screenshot_1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Select your "Home Page" that you plan to give permissions to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g8TDNq-17aU/UemwR5Mq-1I/AAAAAAAAEs0/nlHwH1Ya1Xc/s1600/Screenshot_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="68" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g8TDNq-17aU/UemwR5Mq-1I/AAAAAAAAEs0/nlHwH1Ya1Xc/s320/Screenshot_2.png" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Scroll down a little and start entering people that you want to view private sections on your site.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_wPBYrTt5lo/UemwlmEqZpI/AAAAAAAAEtE/MX2RKwqSLJU/s1600/Screenshot_5.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="63" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_wPBYrTt5lo/UemwlmEqZpI/AAAAAAAAEtE/MX2RKwqSLJU/s400/Screenshot_5.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. When you start entering people the box will get a little bigger with a few more options. I change the "Can Edit" option to "Can View." I usually send them a message letting the user know that I have now given them permission to view that particular page. Click the "Share & Save" button.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LfVt_wgJZSI/UemyXOcNDrI/AAAAAAAAEt0/X2FS6l8mSec/s1600/Screenshot_10.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="131" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LfVt_wgJZSI/UemyXOcNDrI/AAAAAAAAEt0/X2FS6l8mSec/s400/Screenshot_10.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. You will notice a grayed out sentence that says, "New pages inherit permissions by default. If you want to add a user to a specific page you must first add them at the site level. If you don't see a place to "Invite people" then you are not at the "Site Level."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3b1dqHkk2k8/Uemwv3cA9uI/AAAAAAAAEtM/n6YsR9fcW20/s1600/Screenshot_4.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="64" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3b1dqHkk2k8/Uemwv3cA9uI/AAAAAAAAEtM/n6YsR9fcW20/s640/Screenshot_4.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. Now click on the page that you want to make private with those individuals. In this case I want to make the "District Forms" page private.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-37ENT5jD7Ng/UemxP6I8qfI/AAAAAAAAEtU/po1ZCweUTMw/s1600/Screenshot_6.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="152" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-37ENT5jD7Ng/UemxP6I8qfI/AAAAAAAAEtU/po1ZCweUTMw/s320/Screenshot_6.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7. If everything went well you should now see your users with a dashed line. This means that they can't view that page yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Google sites has page level permissions that you can set up so that some users can see a certain part of a site that the public can't see. Sometimes however the people you want to see that private page can't seem to find it. It might be because they are not logged into the site. <br />
<br />
An example: I want the public to view a page with educational forms such as registration. However there are other forms that I only want my teachers to view. After setting up <a href="http://technologytutorialsandmore.blogspot.com/2013/07/google-sites-adding-page-level.html" target="_blank">page level permissions</a>, some of my staff still couldn't see the page. That is because they weren't logged into the site. Below is a real quick way for your users to log into the site so that they can see the correct page.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tutorial</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Make sure you are logged into your Gmail account.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Go to the site. <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/snowflake.k12.az.us/susd5-forms-online/home" target="_blank">In my district's case click this link.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. You will notice that the page is not showing. The image below show that a tab is missing. I should have a page that says "District Forms." This indicates that your user isn't logged into your site yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you haven't had a chance to play with Smart Notebook's Instant Checker Tool, then you should give it a try. With the checker tool you can create some questions as well as possible answers and then when the correct answer is dragged into the instant checker tool, it will get validated. When the student's choice is incorrect it will be checked off as incorrect. Play some games and get your students interacting with technology inside your classroom in the upcoming school year. Below is a tutorial on how to create an activity using the instant checker tool.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Add some choices. Each choice needs to be a separate text box so that your students can drag them separately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Y9F5Rc940Uw3sv9O9U0W1TgpN1dBOnEKbMygJWemXgmxKphg68yDoreKo18SCqd2QSgkfIOuN3omCaZViCyru2Jobba51jnJsFdacN58VGuXbHspAyPhf_jHklTuVwe6_FmlaEmupg/s1600/Screenshot_5.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="50" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Y9F5Rc940Uw3sv9O9U0W1TgpN1dBOnEKbMygJWemXgmxKphg68yDoreKo18SCqd2QSgkfIOuN3omCaZViCyru2Jobba51jnJsFdacN58VGuXbHspAyPhf_jHklTuVwe6_FmlaEmupg/s320/Screenshot_5.png" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Once you have your choices up click the "Edit Object" arrows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. Type in the correct answer. Make sure you spell it and type it in correctly. Otherwise your correct answer will not come out correctly when your students drag them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyfXGNUddkG-Cjj9k7nbmFmJnDhfF_ZR0_p5WV1Ay5Wo_TayCHidbc-aXxZhmPrXB416K39eG0RjwgNKwCuE2CEGOX5l8XrmXxua1mjA2QpcZ7AkezWWfFzYnLYUigiBqIAeTQyOLPlw/s1600/Screenshot_7.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="88" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyfXGNUddkG-Cjj9k7nbmFmJnDhfF_ZR0_p5WV1Ay5Wo_TayCHidbc-aXxZhmPrXB416K39eG0RjwgNKwCuE2CEGOX5l8XrmXxua1mjA2QpcZ7AkezWWfFzYnLYUigiBqIAeTQyOLPlw/s200/Screenshot_7.png" width="200" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7. When the incorrect answer is dragged a red "x" will appear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2zbWFZ6ZqISffZ50hg30qc8jfJhDHy4s-lY2O9M2K1SDo0dn0UXiJHyctaHXIRsEyIUycLi9tpHZKcDTpok2lO5YCyhyphenhyphenr9cA4Lr5UFnVdMikDN2xHmfL2praVxLERJAIhQCj8Ezw2bQ/s1600/Screenshot_8.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="61" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2zbWFZ6ZqISffZ50hg30qc8jfJhDHy4s-lY2O9M2K1SDo0dn0UXiJHyctaHXIRsEyIUycLi9tpHZKcDTpok2lO5YCyhyphenhyphenr9cA4Lr5UFnVdMikDN2xHmfL2praVxLERJAIhQCj8Ezw2bQ/s200/Screenshot_8.png" width="200" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8. If your students drag in the right answer a green check mark will appear. Notice that only part of the answer is showing. I haven't been able to find out how to make it longer. I can use the bottom right handle to make the box appear bigger, but the text still did not fit. This is a glitch I hope an update will fix. Your students will get the idea and will love the chance to use your Smartboard to demonstrate their knowledge to the class.</div>
