Smart Board

Draw over the lesson, or write on a whiteboard or blackboard.

The buttons:

  • Smart Board (in the side tab)
  • Pen
  • Hand: use the lesson, keep the drawing
  • Eraser
  • Undo
  • Redo
  • Clear the board
  • Save as a picture
  • Hide the board tools
  • Close the board

Open the slim tab on the left edge of the screen and tap Smart Board.

Draw and write

  • Choose what is under your drawing: Lesson (draw over the lesson itself), White (a whiteboard) or Black (a blackboard). Switching keeps everything you have drawn.
  • Pick a colour and a pen size, then draw with your finger, a stylus or the mouse.

Erase, undo and clear

  • The eraser rubs out only the part of a line you go over.
  • Undo takes back the last thing you did; Redo puts it back.
  • The bin clears the whole board. It asks first, it never changes the lesson, and Undo brings the drawing back.

Back to the lesson

  • Over the lesson, the pointer (Hand) lets you use the lesson again while your drawing stays. Tap the pen to draw again.
  • The tick closes the board. A drawing over the lesson stays until you clear it; a whiteboard or blackboard comes back as you left it next time.
  • The down arrow hides the board's tools; tap Smart Board in the side tab to bring them back.

Save it as a picture

The save button saves the board as a picture: in Pictures › EduLessons on Android (it shows in My media), or as a download on the website. A drawing over the lesson is saved see-through; a whiteboard or blackboard with its colour. To keep the lesson in the picture as well, use Take a screenshot (Android).

While recording, the board is in the video.
