Safety Tips for Teachers
When using SMART Response with a SMART Board interactive whiteboard and a
projector:
l Tell students not to look directly at the light beam from the projector. Instead,
encourage them to keep their back to the projector when working at the interactive
whiteboard. Before they turn to face the class, they should take a big step (or even
two) sideways.
l Make sure you don’t look directly into the light beam from the projector. Keep your
back to the class when you write over a projected image. Step to the side of the
interactive whiteboard before you turn to face the class.
l Tell your students not to touch the projector, because it can become extremely hot
during normal operation.
l Don’t use a chair to increase a student’s reach. If your students can’t reach the top
of the interactive whiteboard, lower it. You may need to remount a wall-mounted
unit to a lower position. If your interactive whiteboard is mounted on a floor stand,
lower it with the help of another adult.
l Tell students not to run in the vicinity of the floor stand, because they could trip
over the floor stand’s feet.
Starting a class
You can start a class in Sign In mode or Anonymous mode.
About Sign In and Anonymous modes
Before starting a class session, you must decide whether you want the system to
operate in Sign In mode or Anonymous mode. This table summarizes the characteristics
of each mode.
Sign In mode Anonymous mode
You need to use a class list that identifies
each student by name and ID number.
You can operate the system without a
class list.
Students can connect to the class, but
they must sign in with their assigned ID
number.
Students can connect to the class without
identifying themselves.
Teachers can control when students can
sign in by locking a class.
Teachers can't control when a student can
sign into their class.
Under the teacher's control, students can
see their own grades, but they're unable to
