October 9, 2013

*This PPT was converted from a Smart Notebook file so it may not look exactly the same, but was converted to be viewed as Notebook is not a common software application.

**This PPT also features demonstration slides from eCoach Day May 22, 2013 by the SMART Technology presenter Tracey Brown that she offered us to use to train our staff
