Microsoft 2010 Product Activation

ATTENTION FOLKS,

We are still trying to perform activations of the Microsoft Products across the computer labs, but we may not be able to get to them all before xmas.

If you are needing to use Office, you have a few options:
1)  Use Office 2011 on Mac
2)  Use Office 2007 on Windows (we have 2 versions of office installed on the computers, 2010 is the one that requires activation, 2007 does not)
3)  Use Office Online via Outlook.com (log-in with your username@lesley.edu), then click "Documents"

We apologize for the inconveniences this has caused you.. but please understand we are working diligently to fix them for the future.
If you need to talk to someone, please feel free to yell at Richard Phung, the Labs & Classrooms Coordinator at UT by emailing him:  rphung@lesley.edu

or post on our facebook.

SMART *and others

Today, I gave a training/product Demo of the Whiteboard in UNIV-3-087 (the "math lab")*

*It's interesting.. this space is known as the "Math Lab"... because of the extra bits of hardware in it:  it contains a SMART board, and a document camera.... FANCY.

I digress.

I was basically showing some folks from the Reading Recovery program the most basic features of the "Begs-to-be-touched" board and screen capturing.  They had asked me before during a conference where an outside guest came-in to show-off her curricular materials.

We currently possess 2x SMART-brand smart-boards (UNIV-2-141 & UNIV-3-087) and a PolyVision Interactive Whiteboard* (UNIV-2-078) which I can get into later.. *ugh.

To make a long-story short:
Running an interactive SMART board, you will need 3 things:

1. a Mac or PC (either will do, the requirements vary,....)
2. SMART Notebook software  --- Note:  you can probably download it from this site as a "trial.".. But if you are a Faculty or Staff, you will get access to our Lesley University license... which includes upgrades FOR LIFE. ^_^.
3. a USB Cable.

The rest is up to calibration and finding a way to make materials "interactive".... *good luck with that.

The eLearning & Instructional Support (eLIS) department would be a good place to start.

At any rate...

Cheers.
