Use resources you already have

Have you already created lessons in PowerPoint presentation software? With Notebook software you can seamlessly import PowerPoint slides to take advantage of Notebook software's more interactive format (Windows only).

Add your own content to the Gallery, where it can be tagged so that you can readily find it for future lessons. The Gallery can hold images, audio, video, Flash and more.

Create paths of learning

With the ability to link objects to any file, webpage or Notebook page, you can create nonlinear lessons, so you can work with all the digital resources you need using just one straightforward interface.

Using object linking, students can press an object that takes them to a Notebook page with an answer key or a website.

Standardize your lessons

Control objects by locking them to prevent movement, or allow movement but restrict them from being edited or rotated. Locking objects guarantees your lesson will perform as expected when students interact with the objects.

Controlling objects also helps in the creation of standardized lessons. By locking objects, you can be sure that the file will not be changed during a presentation, so it's ready to go every time you want to use it.

Add multimedia

Get the attention of students who come from a world of video games, portable media players and cell phones. Stimulate digital learners by enriching your digital curricula with video, audio, rich text and more.

Import video files to play directly from the software. Resize and write over your videos within Notebook software. Add audio clips to play instructions or clarify learning objectives. Then store your media in the Gallery for future use.
