About SMART Notebook software
Use SMART Notebook software to create lessons or presentations. Each .notebook file contains a series of pages, and each page has its own objects, properties and settings. You can add freehand objects, geometric shapes, straight lines, text, pictures, Adobe Flash Player compatible content and tables to a page. You can manipulate and edit these objects at any time.
You can save your files in the .notebook format, which you can open in any Windows, Mac or Linux computer running SMART Notebook software. You can also export your files to a variety of formats.
The Page Sorter displays thumbnails of all of the pages in the current file. The software automatically updates these thumbnails when you change the contents of the pages.
Copy clip art, backgrounds, multimedia content and .notebook files and pages to your page from the Gallery. The Gallery also provides access to the following resources:
-
Gallery Essentials – a collection of thousands of subject-specific images and multimedia content

Lesson Activity Toolkit – a collection of customizable tools and templates that you can use to create professional-looking and interactive lessons
-
Online Resources – online content for educators who use SMART products, including lesson activities, educational software and advice for using your product

About SMART Product Drivers
Your interactive product detects contact with its screen and sends each contact point, along with Pen tool information, to the connected computer. SMART Product Drivers translates the information into mouse clicks and digital ink. SMART Product Drivers enables you to perform normal computer operations by pressing the screen with your finger (on interactive whiteboards) or a tethered pen (on interactive pen displays).
You can also write or draw on the screen in digital ink using a pen tray pen (on interactive whiteboards) or tethered pen (on interactive pen displays), and then save or erase your notes.
About SMART Tools
Draw attention to specific parts of a page using SMART Tools, such as the Screen Shade, Spotlight, Magnifier and Pointer.
