Announcing Smart Notebook Version 11!

With the installation of ten new Smart Boards on campus, we have begun to upgrade our Smart Notebook software to version 11.

What are the differences between Smart Notebook Version 11 and the Notebook software running on the previously existing Smart Boards?

  • New Toolbar: The most obvious difference will be a new toolbar at the top of the Board.  Buttons are now organized into panels, and clicking on a button will open an additional panel that will allow you to better format the tool that you have selected.
  • Internet Browser:  You will be able to insert an Internet browser into your saved notebook files to display websites and manipulate them like you would any other object.
  • New Digital Ink Features:  New custom creative pens are available, you can fill closed areas drawn with digital ink, and you can set “Magic Pen” digital ink to fade after a specified time
  • New Text Editor:  Version 11 comes with an improved text editor, allowing greater flexibility when formatting text
  • New Object Manipulation Features: Resize a picture to fit properly inside an object, group and ungroup objects with a “group” motion on the screen, and record sounds for specific objects.
