Did you know... Ladibug and SMART!
Did you know that the Ladibug 2.0 software has built in annotating tools? When you double click on the Ladibug 2.0 icon, the software opens a viewing window to let you see what is under the camera. But it also opens a small Ladibug icon in the upper right corner of your desktop. Click on this small icon to open the tool menu.
Click on the green hand/pencil icon and you'll find annotating tools that will allow you to draw, highlight and add text to the image being displayed. The image with annotations can be saved for later display.
You can also use your SMART Board pens from the pen tray to mark on top of the image being displayed. Images that have been annotated can be saved using the Capture Tool available on the Floating Tool bar. The saved image is automatically saved onto a Notebook page and can be pulled back up at later time for more discussions or for students that were absent.
The Ladibug 2.0 software has some great features that enhance the use of the document camera. A teacher can annotate on images and take a picture or video. Pictures and videos are automatically saved in the Documents folder on the desktop. This can be a great way to record lessons for students who are absent. This link will explain what can be done with each of the icons in the Ladibug options menu.
