SMART Notebook Training

There are thousands of SMART interactive whiteboards in schools across southern Ontario, but relatively few educators have received training that would enable them to fully utilize the technology effectively. Participants of the SMART Notebook training noted that they felt better prepared to integrate technology into their lessons.

If your school has already made an investment in SMART interactive whiteboards and has an active SMART Advantage license, learn how to take advantage of the new features in Notebook. From simple tools like the paintbrush and text pen, to advanced capabilities that enable BYOD, Notebook allows you to create activities that will engage your students in new ways.
