Do you want
to be known as "the expert SMART Board user" in your school? Here's an
advanced tip that allows you to turn your finger into a hovering mouse
when using the Smartboard interactive whiteboard.
Unfortunately, the SMART Board doesn't know where your finger is until you touch the SMART Board surface. This causes a problem when you have a cool web application like the Crossword Puzzle game that knows where your mouse is hovering and displays helpful information on the computer screen.
Take a look at this short video to find out how you can turn your finger into a hovering mouse when using the Smartboard interactive whiteboard:

A fantastic tip… I didn’t know you could do that!
This is something that I’m definitely going to be trying at school. Many thanks!
I’ve been wondering if that was possible! Thanks for the tip!
Is there a way to get the board to NOT right click when you press on the board for a while? When I’m using Magic Pen with the kids (I think you blogged about that site before), you need to press and hold for a few seconds to make a circle, but the board interprets that as a right click. Any work-arounds for that?
