Smart Boards

You will notice that in the new science building the old Promethean Activboards have been replaced by Smartboards. They do much the same thing, but the software is based around the idea of collaboration. This means that, if your teacher chooses to share the SmartBoard notes with you, you can then read and edit them on a variety of devices.

 The Smart software is called Notebook (version 11 is the current one) and files are thus referred to as Notebooks.

 For example, KPZ shares his lessons to his class at his physics page.
