=**A Few other sample lessons:**=

=**Using the TABLE Tool:**=
 * You will find that this works best when developing it from your computer however, with patience, you can work it from the Smart Board. I would suggested creating the actual table in advance then you can easily add items while you are working at the SB. A few tips:**
 * **click on a line that you want to move and drag it to expand a cell or column or line**
 * **click outside the table and drag over it to access the tool (pale gray box) that allows you to move the table to a different area of your page**
 * **Once this tool is highlighted you also get the usual drop down menu icon (on the top right of any object) that will allow you to manipulate it like any other SNB object but will also let you add screen shades to all cells; tap on the screen shade and it disappears.**
 * **You can highlight and cells and drag them to another area of the page to clone parts of the table**
 * **Adding or splitting cells, columns or row can be done easily by highlighting the cells to be manipulated then right click to get the pull-down menu of choices; you will only get choices that apply to what you have highlighting i.e. you can not add a column if you have only highlighted a cell**
 * **gallery items that are dragged into cells will be automatically**

=**Using the RECORDER:**=
 * You can record any of your actions at the Smart Board (including work on web pages, files, etc.) and play them back at another time, link them on your web page or embed them into your wiki. These recordings can also be imported into iMovie or Garage band to add sound, effects, etc.**
 * **open the recorder the Smart tools in the doc**
 * **press record**
 * **stop the recorder then save your file**

=**How-to: inserting pictures, videos and links & saving as PDF**=


 * **use** insert menu **on tool bar to insert pictures, videos, flash files, gallery items saved to folders (on your drives), links, sound files or a blank table**
 * **you can also drag downloaded videos to a Notebook page**
 * links**: to a web page, file on your computer or a page in the same Notebook file using the insert menu; corner item or link to a picture**
 * **PDF: best way to post SNB files on your website or wiki: select "file" then "export" then click on "PDF. This file was created with SNB then exported as a PDF: [[file:Podcasting with Garage Band.pdf]]**
