SmartBoard

I have a new Smart Board with the PE Response systems and I love it. I am still new on the learning curve and want to know how to move quickly from questions to responses then back to questions. It seems awkward to have to hit the response icon each time, change my whole screen presentation, then go back to full screen. Any short cuts here? Also, I want to use it for a game board. I have downloaded the board and the dice to work well, but not sure how to get the pieces so the kids can move them on the board each time. Thanks.
