SMART Notebooks! 01/15/16

YOU can use SMART Notebook files too!!

Here's how you can utilize these presentations without installing or purchasing any SMART software.

1. Go to this website - http://express.smarttech.com/#
2. Click the blue button titled - Open an Existing Notebook File
3. Navigate to and open the notebook file.  (Depending on the size of the file, the circular loading symbol can take a few seconds or more to load.)
4. Go from slide to slide using the slide view on the left (looks alot like PowerPoint and ActivInspire).
5. Use the annotation and erase tools at the top.
6. And if there is an interactive flash activity in the presentation, it will usually work fine (or with only minimal differences).
