With the computer image projected on the board, simply use your finger and press on the large touch-sensitive surface to control the computer. This allows your students to do presentations from the front of the room instead of having to be at the computer. Using one of the pens from the SMART Pen Tray, you just write on the board and the touch-sensitive screen tells the computer what color pen you are using and your notes are projected onto the screen in the correct color. You can save these notes on the computer or send them to your printer to be given out as a study aid. These are just a couple of the many uses for this wonderful tool. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa media type="youtube" key="G8P-sv9dOu8?fs=1" height="385" width="480"
