Brain Pop & SMART Response

If you use Brain Pop and have a set of SMART Response clickers, you can easily use your clickers to take the brain pop quizzes. First, you have to have the newest update of SMART notebook software so you have the new transparency layer icon on the toolbar. If you don't have that - go to your SMART tools icon in the windows notification area and click on "check for updates" to update your software.

While an image or quiz question is visible from brain pop - open notebook software. Click on the response tab and choose instant question (choose the type that fits what you will be asking). Click on the transparency icon on the toolbar and notebook will become transparent and students can see the question or image in brain pop. You can move around the T/F, Y/N or ABCD (based on what type of question you selected) to match where things are on the brainpop page. Students can now use their clickers to respond to the question.

Need more help? Below is the link for a webinar that was hosted by brain pop. It first explains how to use brain pop with Promethean boards and printing quizzes. If you go to the 17 minute mark, he begins showing how to use brain pop with SMART notebook.
