**SMARTBoard Text to Speech: Video**
If you would like your computer to speak the text when the online keyboard is being used watch the video(you tube) that shows you how to change your keyboard settings. Some functionality is lost on a MAC when using SMART Notebook. Most classrooms are connected to a Desktop Windows machine so you should be able to use all the functionality. If you are already using this feature, share some ideas if you can! []
