Section 2: Account Setup

One of the main benefits of using tbe myViewBoard Whiteboard App is the Cloud Integration. Cloud integration allows for many things, but mostly the ability to sync your content and your settings. This means that every time you sign into the Whiteboard App, your settings sync and you can access your content from Google or Office 365. In this assignment, we'll spend time reviewing how to configure all these settings! Whether you use Google Drive or One Drive, all of your content and settings follow you, hence, myViewBoard's FollowMe settingas. The idea is that wherever you go, your settings and content "Follow You."

In this section, we'll focus on on the following:

• Changing your ViewBoard name and personalizing your information

• Setting up your myViewBoard account with your default cloud storage

• Configuring your settings such as default pen size/color, default text size/color, backgrounds and other preferences

Section 4: Saving and Sharing

Unlock the Power of Cloud with myViewBoard Whiteboard App! As you’ve ventured, cloud integration isn’t just a feature – it’s a pivotal aspect of your myViewBoard Whiteboard App journey. In this chapter, we'll weave through the myriad of avenues to save and share your innovative content in Whiteboard. Embark on learning adventures that include:

• Safely stowing and seamlessly accessing your myViewBoard canvas via the cloud ☁️

• Sharing your inventive myViewBoard Canvas creations as a PDF and QR code 📑🔗

After immersing yourself in the expansive world of Cloud saving and sharing, we're curious: which features of Whiteboard's cloud functionality have enchanted you the most?

Section 5: Create and import with the Magic Box

One challenge with transitioning to a new program like myViewBoard Whiteboard is what to do with all the content you've already created. Maybe you have folders of old SMART Notebook files or PowerPoint files. Maybe you have images, PDFs or audio files. Instead of starting all over again from the beginning, you can bring all that old content directly into myViewBoard using the Magic Box.

**NOTE TO ANDROID/iOS/CHROMEBOOK USERS**

• Currently you're unable to import Word, PowerPoint, SMART and Promethean Files directly through the Whiteboard App because of limitations of your mobile operating systems. 

• You can import videos, images, sound files, PDFs, Google Docs and Google Slides.

• If you want to import SMART or Promethean files please use the File Conversion Utility on www.myviewboard.com (you must sign in)

In addition to all of this we'll explore the following:

• Importing files (some files are limited to Windows only)

• Adding various tools to your Canvas like Dice, Rulers, and Timers (some tools are limited to Windows only)

• Adding sticky notes

• Adding animated images called widgets

• Adding images and YouTube videos

An interesting question always comes up during this part of our training. Some teachers really want their old content while others think we should start over from scratch. Head on over to our community and let us know what you think!

Section 6: Capture and Record

Sometimes it's helpful to capture content from a website and add it to your lesson. Maybe you want to record your lesson so students who were unable to attend can watch it later (or even for those who did attend). In this section we'll explore the Capture Tool, a very helpful feature when you need to capture your content. Did I mention you can easily save it to the cloud? Have fun!

**Note that this section is intended for those who use Windows laptops**

• If you're using an iPad we recommend using the built in iPadOS Screen Recorder

• If you're using Android we recommend using the built in Android Screen Recorder

• If you're using a Chromebook we recommend using the built in Chrome OS Screen Recorder

If you're using a Windows Device, here's what we'll learn in this section of the training:

• Use Windows Toggle to capture from websites

• Know the difference between the different capture modes

• Learn how to record a lesson and save it to the cloud

On a side note, none of this section will be in the final quiz so don't stress about learning tools you may/may not need! Just focus on what's useful for the type of device you use the most!

Section 7: Advanced Tools

Congrats on making it this far! Now it's time to get into some advanced tools and features that can really enhance your instruction!

**Some of the tools only work on a Windows Device**

As mentioned before some Advanced Features won't work on Android/iOS/Chromebooks. In this section pay attention to how the videos are labeled (some will say "Windows Only" while some will say "Android/iOS/Chromebook." Because all operating systems are a little bit different in how they interact, please double check to make sure the video you're watching matches the device you're using. If the video has no label, then it'll work on all platforms!

In this section we'll explore the following:

• How to use the Embed Browser

• How to use the Adorning Menu to manipulate objects

• Advanced Pen Tools

• Using Custom Backgrounds

• Other Advanced Tools!

Section 8: Student Collaboration

Being at the board is great, but what about when you want kids to participate with their devices? Enter your Board Public Portal! This is a web based portal allowing others to send images, participate in a Pop Quiz or share their screen.

**Poll/Quiz is currently only available on Whiteboard for Windows**

• Learn how to find your Board Public Portal Link and how to get kids signed in

• Have kids send images to Whiteboard with Throw

• Have kids participate in a Pop Quiz

• Share screens wirelessly and capture/annotate on them

myViewBoard™ Graduate Certification Test

This is it, the last step to becoming a myViewBoard Graduate! This test will cover the myViewBoard Whiteboard software. Note that some questions are scenario based and require you to apply your knowledge of the myViewBoard software in different classroom situations.

Completing the other sections in this course is not required to take/pass this test, however, it is highly recommended that you watch all the videos to be as prepared as possible. Any videos that are made for a specific system (ie Windows, Android/iOS) are not part of the final Certification. This test only focuses on skills that are found across all platforms.

Upon successful completion of the test, you'll receive an email with a certificate and your myViewBoard Graduate badge. If you do not pass the test, no worries, you are allowed to take it again! Note that you must score at least a 90% to pass.
