Chapter 1

Introducing SMART Notebook SE

SMART Notebook SE for Windows® operating systems enables you to complete assignments, take notes, manage due dates and organize digital material. Each file contains a series of pages and each page has its own objects, properties and settings. You can add freehand objects, geometric shapes, straight lines, text, graphics, Adobe® Flash® content and tables to a page. You can manipulate and edit these objects at any time. You can save files in a format that you can open in SMART Notebook SE or SMART Notebook.

All of your files appear in the binder (an electronic filing system that enables you to sort, arrange and open files).

You can also export files in a variety of formats and send files to others as an e-mail attachment.

The Page Sorter displays all of the pages in the current file in thumbnail format. SMART Notebook SE automatically updates these thumbnails when you change the contents of the pages.

You can copy clip art, backgrounds and multimedia content to the page from the Gallery. The Gallery also provides access to online resources.

The SMART Notebook SE Bracelet

The SMART Notebook SE bracelet enables you to take SMART Notebook SE software anywhere and use it on different computers. The USB bracelet includes the software and space for you to save your files and multimedia content.

The SMART Notebook SE Window

When you start SMART Notebook SE, it displays the My Home tab, the My Binder tab and a tab for a new file.

My Home Tab

The My Home tab is a customizable home page that enables you to personalize the appearance of the SMART Notebook SE window. You can add freehand objects, geometric shapes, straight lines, text, graphics, Adobe Flash content and tables to your home page, in the same way that you can in an open file.

To view the My Home tab Click My Home.

My Binder Tab

The My Binder tab is a list of all the files you include in the binder (an electronic filing system that enables you to sort, arrange and open files). The binder displays each file’s properties, including its subject, due date and keywords, as column headings. You can also view or edit the file’s properties.

If the currently selected file is a .notebook file, the bottom of the tab displays a preview of the file’s pages as thumbnails.

The left side of the tab displays a series of categories, including due dates, subjects and keywords, that enable you to filter the list of files and display only those within the selected category.

Subjects

This is a list of the subjects you’ve added to the properties of one or more of the files in the binder.

Flags

The flags each represent different words, and you can associate these flags with objects in .notebook files. You can filter the binder to display only .notebook files that contain a particular flag.

NOTE

If you hover over a flag in the binder, the words the flag represents appear as a tool tip. SMART Notebook SE includes 12 default flag labels.

99-00965-20 A0

Open File Tabs

Beside the My Home and My Binder tabs is a tab for each open file. The tab’s name matches the file it represents. You can select one of these tabs at any time to display the open file.

Each file consists of a series of pages, each with its own objects, properties and settings. You can add freehand objects, geometric shapes, straight lines, text, graphics, Adobe Flash content and tables to a page.

When you display an open file, the interface includes the following features.

• The toolbar enables you to select and use a variety of commands and tools.

• The whiteboard area displays the current page and enables you to create, edit and manipulate objects on the page.

• The Page Sorter displays thumbnails of the pages in the current file. It allows you to organize pages and move objects from page to page. You can view any page by clicking its thumbnail in the Page Sorter.

• The Gallery contains clip art, backgrounds and .notebook files and pages that you can add to the file. Gallery thumbnails provide previews of content images. The Gallery also provides access to the SMART Learning Marketplace and other online resources.

• The Attachments tab enables you to attach a copy of a file, a shortcut to a file or a Web page link to the file.

• The Properties tab enables you to change the options for the selected object. For example, if you select a shape, the Properties tab displays options for changing fill effects, line style and object animation.

• The Quick Links tab provides links to files with upcoming due dates.

If you close all of the open files, SMART Notebook SE automatically creates a new file.

To view an open file Click the file’s tab.
