SMART Notebook
SMART Notebook Lesson Software for SMART Board Displays
SMART Notebook is desktop lesson software built for SMART Board interactive displays, and no subscription is required to use it. It detects touch, gestures, pens and erasers automatically, so teachers can write and annotate without opening menus or switching modes. It imports PDF and PPT files, runs on current Windows and macOS versions, and connects with SMART Document Camera. It suits schools and training centres across Qatar that already run SMART Boards.
What SMART Notebook does on a SMART Board
SMART Notebook is the lesson-building and presentation software made for SMART Board interactive displays. Teachers prepare pages on a computer and then teach from the board itself, writing and annotating with a pen, a finger or an eraser. It is desktop software, and no subscription is required to use it.
Input that stays out of the way
The practical advantage shows up during a live lesson. Notebook detects touch, gestures, pens and erasers automatically, so the teacher does not open a menu, select a tool or switch modes before writing. Spotlight and annotation tools direct attention to one part of a page, and integration with SMART Ink extends those teaching tools to web browsers and other applications.
Lesson files, computers and classroom sources
Notebook is backwards compatible, so lessons built earlier can be opened on the newest versions of Windows and macOS. Teachers can import PDF and PPT files along with the curriculum content already in use. Connecting a SMART Document Camera brings printed books, worksheets and physical objects into the same lesson flow.
Where it fits in Qatar
- Primary and secondary schools: a school in Al Wakrah with SMART Boards in several classrooms can agree one lesson template for each year group, so files look consistent from room to room.
- Maths and science lessons: teachers at an international school in Doha can use the manipulation tools to show how a shape or equation changes as students move its parts across the board.
- Training centres: a centre in Lusail with staff on both Windows and Mac laptops can run the same software on either platform, which simplifies course preparation.
Notebook Plus and what to plan for
SMART Notebook Plus adds web-based features, including game-based activities with student device integration and formative assessment tools that help teachers decide what to review next. Notebook Plus works with any brand of interactive display, so a school with mixed displays can standardise on one software set. Lumio, a separate platform, gives teachers access to thousands of games, activities and teacher-created lesson plans.
