Using the stamp pad

You can use the SMART Ink stamp pad to reinforce ideas, correct student work, reward student achievements, and so on. You can manipulate and erase stamps like you do digital ink (see Manipulating digital ink and Erasing digital ink).

The stamp pad comes with ten standard stamps. In addition, you can create your own personal stamps.

Note 

To use the stamp pad, start SMART Ink (see Starting SMART Ink) and connect your computer to a SMART interactive product.
