SMART Response
To use SMART Response interactive response system in your classroom, you must start a class and allow students to connect to it. You can monitor the student connections during the class and disconnect them when the class is done.

When using SMART Response with a SMART Board interactive whiteboard and a projector:
Tell students not to look directly at the light beam from the projector. Instead, encourage them to keep their back to the projector when working at the interactive whiteboard. Before they turn to face the class, they should take a big step (or two) sideways.
Make sure you don’t look directly into the light beam from the projector. Keep your back to the class when you write over a projected image. Step to the side of the interactive whiteboard before you turn to face the class.
Tell your students not to touch the projector, because it can become extremely hot during normal operation.
Don’t use a chair to increase a student’s reach. If your students can’t reach the top of the interactive whiteboard, lower it. You may need to remount a wall-mounted unit to a lower position. If your interactive whiteboard is mounted on a floor stand, lower it with the help of another adult.
Tell students not to run in the vicinity of the floor stand, because they could trip over the floor stand’s feet.
