2. Pens must return to their color-coded areas in order to write the color they signify.

3. Write on the touchscreen part of the SmartBoard.  The pen will not work in the frame.

4. To erase writing on the SmartBoard, pick up the eraser from the pen tray and erase.

5. To erase a large area of text, draw a circle around the text and tap the erasure inside of the circle.

6. To save a note you’ve taken on the SmartBoard or to take a screen shot,  pick up a pen tool from the pen tray. The Digital Ink Layer border will appear on your screen. To save what you write on the board when this layer is in place, press the “Screen Capture”  button (the camera) in the top right-hand corner of the border. An image of the screen, including your writing, will be saved.
