Focus students' attention

Focus attention on key learning points by using the resizable Spotlight tool to highlight key information. Or use the Screen Shade - on individual slides or on the entire presentation - to reveal information point by point.

Need more whiteboard space? Switch to the Full Screen view to teach without the menu, toolbar or tabs. Or, use the standard view and auto-hide the Page Sorter, Gallery and Attachments tabs to create more space.

Engage students with interactivity

Teach lessons that stimulate digital learners with video and Flash content that can be resized and annotated with colorful pens. Attach sound clips to objects, such as the sound of applause when a student selects a correct answer.

Objects, when pressed, can link to webpages, external documents or other pages within Notebook software to clarify an objective or provide instant feedback.

Explore concepts with multimedia

Illustrate ideas, model concepts and enhance discussions with images, multimedia, websites and more - instantly. The Gallery's superior storage and search functions let you retrieve ready-made materials the moment you need them and link to online resources during class time.

Your classroom learning may include website research, image analysis or more. Use Screen Capture on any shape or part of the screen to effortlessly bring items into Notebook software for annotation during your discussion.

Accommodate your students

If students are unable to reach the top of the interactive whiteboard, the toolbar can be repositioned at the bottom of the screen - with the press of a button. Accommodate right- or left-handed users by moving the Page Sorter, Gallery and Attachments tabs to either side of the screen.

Reinforce with activities and games

Use the Gallery's thousands of digital resources for activities and games that strengthen understanding.

Share your lessons

Use the Recorder feature to record all screen activity and audio as a digital video file (Windows only). Students who miss a class due to illness can catch up on the entire classroom discussion.

Notebook software also has a variety of export options, enabling you to export your lesson as a PDF, webpage, image file or to PowerPoint software (Windows only). Or send your file as an e-mail attachment, either as a Notebook file or as a PDF.

Download Notebook interactive viewer to share digital content and lessons with your colleagues - even if they don't have the full version of Notebook software.
