Windows Media Player is probably the application you use the most to watch videos, and it’s a good player, but what if you want to make some notes about a video while you watch it with your class?
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could annotate and diagram images from a video clip right on the SMART Board AND keep the still image with your notes? You CAN if you use the SMART Video Player right on your desktop!
Look in the “system tray,” or “Windows notification area,” or “near the time in the lower-right corner of your screen” to see the SMART Board Tools icon (a white circle in a light blue box). When you click on it (one time), you’ll see Video Player as the third item from the top. Click it!
A video player window opens and you can open any video clip or any online video (just copy and paste the URL of the video) in the viewer. Next, pick up a pen while the video is playing on the SMART Board, and the video freezes! Write what you want, then use the capture button to save it to a Notebook page! Fabulous! Stay tuned for a video demonstration!
