If you’re using SMART Sync with a SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard, you can
write notes using a pen tray pen and your students will see your notes on their desktops.
If you’re working at a computer, you can write notes using the tools in SMART Sync.
Starting SMART Sync
When you first start SMART Sync, you create a teacher ID and class. Students can then
connect to the class (see Connecting to Students on next page).
Every class is unique. The only similarity between two classes may be the room in
which they’re taught. Everything else may be different, including the students, the
seating plan and more.
Teachers and classes can be administered, which means they’re centrally defined in a
SMART School file (see Connecting to SMART Sync Class List Server on page 85), or
non-administered, which means they’re defined in your computer's installation of
SMART Sync.
l
If you select a non-administered class when you start SMART Sync, you can
save changes to your class at any time.
l
If you select an administered class, you can’t save changes to the original file, but
you can save it with a new name.
