Smartboard Instructions
The department maintains a Smartboard interactive whiteboard in the large classroom (Main Building 101). In addition to providing an electronic way to access the computer and write freehand graphics, the Smartboard also supports normal whiteboard markers and erasers. The Smartboard can function in either interactive mode or as a standard whiteboard. Please follow the instructions below if you would like to use the Smartboard in either mode. These instructions are also posted near the equipment in the classroom. The complete Smartboard manual is available here. If you need help, please contact Matt Kassawara by phone at 970-491-8527 or by email at matt (at) atmos.colostate.edu.
