Think.com, Oracle Education Foundation, Projects | Competition | Library Can't Wait for SMART Notebook 11! | Blog Classroom 2.0 The New Notebook 11 Software The eagerly awaited Notebook 11 Software update will be available for download on Monday, April 23. That’s right! You will be able to download the new version of Notebook in just a few days. You can download the new version of Notebook now! Click here to go to the Smart Notebook Download page. Notebook 11 is a major upgrade from version 10 and I must say that Smart Technologies did a fantastic job of adding new features to it that not only make it more powerful but also make it more user-friendly. To help my readers get ready for the launch of Notebook 11, I called Danny Nicholson of the Whiteboard Blog to discuss the new version and get his reaction. This is a new feature that allows you to create interactive drag-and-drop activities that actually respond to student choices. With the new version, you can now record audio directly inside Notebook and attach it to an object in one step. The Creative Pen lets you draw using a collection of small images like a star or a smiley face.

Smart Notebook 11 - A first look at the new version The wait is nearly over and Smart Notebook 11 is set to be released on 23rd April. (Edit : It’s here.) I’ve been lucky enough to download a copy early and have a sneak peak of the new version of the Smart software and see how much it has changed since it was previewed at BETT back in January. Thanks to the folks at Smart for letting me have a copy. I’ll try and sort out some videos in the near future that demonstrate some of the new features, and I will also have to update some of my training materials, but for now here’s an initial run through of some of the things that caught my eye. The first thing that caught my eye is the redesigned main toolbar. The left hand side of the toolbar stays the same. All the pens are grouped together now – Regular pens, creative pens, calligraphy pen and the new crayon tool. Likewise if you choose a shape, then the various shape options appear. A new feature that I’m very pleased to see is the Freehand Fill. But now it’s here.
