TMEA Convention – Wednesday, February 11th, 2015
Room cc204 – 11:15 am to 12:15 pm
Elizabeth Krajewski - Presenter
Let’s start from the very beginning…
Click on “File” then “New”
This is your new untitled document – SMARTBoard is similar to a
combination of MS Paint, Publisher, and PowerPoint
Click on the arrow next to your first page and then click on “insert
blank page” and add as many pages as you need
Click on “File” then “Save As”
Save it to your desktop or folder of your choice –
it will save as a *.notebook file
Then click on the gallery picture – the second icon on the left margin
– it will open up “gallery essentials”
Click on “Gallery Essentials” and a drop down menu will appear
Click on the “Arts” folder and another drop down menu appears
Click on the “Music” folder and a drop down menu appears
Click on “Music Notes” and you will have a choice of large or small
Click on “Music Notes and Paper – large”
Click on Pictures and it will give you a drop down menu of music
symbols and notes to choose from
Click on “Notebook Files and Pages” and it will give you different
options for manuscript paper
Double click on “Duet” and a grand staff will appear
Then scroll back up to the music symbols and double click on the icons you
want to use – then move them where you want them to be on the page – you
can use your mouse and keyboard for this OR your fingers on the SMARTBoard
Adding bass clef and building an example for note recognition and/or
counting beat patterns – can be used for solfege as well – written in
underneath the notes as the students progress with the lesson
Adding time signature
Bar lines and double bar lines – remember to always save your work!
Adding notes
Click on the pen icon and you can write with different colors and
designs
The drop down menu from the pen icon has “Creative Pen” – click on
it and the user can draw and write with colorful and playful choices
Smiley faces for note heads is always a winner – and then you can
draw the note stems in any color ink with the regular pen
You can use the eraser icon for anything that you draw on the
SMARTBoard – the other notes and such can be deleted by right
clicking on the note or music symbol
There are shapes and lines and text boxes that can be used in
SMARTBoard – you can also have different color backgrounds
The view screens icon has a drop down menu – click on “Dual Page
Display” and …
Click on your second page or whatever page you want and it will split the
screen for you – this is great for two or more parts to be read at the same time
- you can then click the same view screens icon and put it back to
“Single Page Display”
Make sure to Orient your SMARTBoard screen before class starts so that the screen
coincides with what you write or click on with a SMARTBoards pen or your fingers. Use
your pointer finger to orient the screen right in the middle of each target – if someone
“bumps” your cart with your projector on it – you will have to orient again
