1. Remove a stylus from the pen tray and write over top of this page or any application.
• Press firmly and with consistent pressure on the board. • Be careful not to rest you hand against the board as it
will result in a slip of the pen or scribble. 2. Remove a new color stylus to write on the board again, but this time, write with your finger instead of the stylus.3. Use the eraser tool--it won't erase anything except the electronic ink from the pen stylus.4. Experiment: use fingers versus actual tools; pick up and try to use more than one tool. Note the SMART Board reads the last tool removed from the tray.5. Replace the tools and note that the screen now gives the cursor arrow and allows touch control. Use your finger as a mouse to scroll down this page or click a button. Your annotations will disappear.
