SMART Board Tip: Reset an Activity Page

One great tip is for Resetting a SMART Notebook page for the next student, class (or for next year). Rather than press Undo several times or remember to NOT save (which we all forget sometimes and hit the "Save" button accidentally!), try this trick described at the blog post below:

(Originally from Teq) 
 Creating a "Reset Button" in a Smartboard Notebook file:
1)  From your interactive student page, while the page is in "start" mode and without moving any of the objects, create a 1 second Page Recording... To do so:
   a) From the Properties tab, click on Start Recording (or the dot/circle) and record for 1 second only)
   b) then click on Stop Recording (or the dot/circle again) - automatically producing a Play Recorder button on the bottom of your slide.

3.  Students can do the activity and move objects within the page, when they are done simply click on the Play button (triangle > button) and your page will reset!
