Due to some very large increases in cost for Notebook software, it will only be loaded on your classroom SMARTBoard computer this year. If you have any concerns about only having availability to create/alter lessons on your SMARTBoard computer, please talk to our tech office (ext. 1016).
New with the Notebook 17 SMART Learning Suite Online allows teachers to share their lessons to any student device. Here is a link that can help you get started!
Remember, you can always export your lessons in PDF form to print out for notes. Our Notebook software is now part of SMART Learning Suite. Lesson creating in Notebook software is primarily the same.
