That is what you will click on to go to the website.
Another way
Words- if you want to have words on the page do the same thing. Type the words. Go to the website. Copy the link. Then go back to NoteBook, click on the triangle pointing down, click on link, paste the link, then click on insert link and you will see an Earth again.

This one clears all that you have written with ALL pens. So you do NOT have to erase the board with drawing a circle and tapping the center.
Clear Page takes EVERYTHING off of it. That means your links, clipart, EVERYTHING!
There are MANY more that you can add.... it is all up to you!

If they do not, then click on the button that says Detect Displays.
If your pens are not writing on the board make sure that your pen trays are clear of dust. If you have an interactive board make sure there is no dust on the sensors on the sides.
To make your smartboard and computer "talk" to each other.
Go to finder 
Type in the word SMART settings you will see this symbol by the words

Click continue.
Your cable is the correct length. You do not need to worry about this. Continue on. Please do this step. It is important. Then click continue.
If you have a 600 series- you should have a green light and be connected.
If you have an 800 series and you are still not connected continue on.
This next picture is for Dual Touch Boards only
You should have a green light now.
