Click on the second icon from the top of the tool bar. Select the starburst pointer with your cursor and then move the cursor to the the white board.

To place your starburst on the the whiteboard, move your cursor to where you want it to be and click the mouse…it’s that easy. Go ahead and put put a starburst at the intersection of your comfort with research on babies’ brains and how much you rely on research to do your job.. It doesn’t have to be exact…just in the ballpark.John:Take a look at the whiteboard now that folks have marked their comfort with research on babies’ brains and their reliance on research in their work. Use chat to tell us something about what you see on the whiteboard. The chat box is at the bottom of your screen…type into the blank text field which has a grey smiley face at the end.
