What is Smart Notebook?
Smart Notebook is the software that accompanies the Smart Interactive Whiteboard. It works in conjunction with the Smartboard, providing a place for interactive and engaging classroom lesson activities. As we saw in previous lessons the Smartboard works very well with other software applications. What separates Smart Notebook is that it is completely interactive with the smart board. There are no small toolbars or overlays. Instead there are dozens of tools and options, that we will learn about below.

There are many different ways to access the Smart Notebook software. 1. Right Click on the small icon in the lower right hand menu. Chose the first selection of the menu that appears: //Notebook//.

2. After the software has been first installed the Smart Notebook Welcome screen appears. From this screen there are numerous options for accessing the notebook. You can toggle off the automatic opening of this menu at the bottom of the pop up.

3. Click the **Start > Programs > Smart Technologies > Smart Notebook > Smart Notebook 10**

4. Double Click the Smart Notebook Icon on your desktop.

Once open the main Notebook screen will look like this:

We're going to split the screen in to three parts and talk about each part individually.
 * 1) Work Area
 * 2) Smart Menu and Toolbar
 * 3) Side Tabs
