__SMART Notebook 10 - Gallery and Lesson Activity Toolkit 2.0__

In schools today, interactive whiteboards are found in the vast majority of schools in Western NSW. This presentation outlined some of the ways to use the SMART Notebook program to create lessons, in particular the //Lesson Activity Toolkit 2.0//. There were plenty of tips on the best way to do things, for example, the easiest way to search for and manage files in the program.

We were told about how to move files into Notebook, create files to use in lessons, the Essentials Gallery (which has pictures, backgrounds, and interactive files such as videos and audio), helpful websites, and examples of activities in //Lesson Activity Toolkit 2.0.// The presenter, Sonya Griffith, showed the audience some of the files she had created and found useful for lessons, and how to create some yourself.

The presentation explained //LAT 2.0// and how it differs from //Version 1.0// in detail. It outlined new features of the Notebook program that can help create interesting and interactive lessons for students, how the technologies have improved and changed, and how to use it all. It was an interactive look at the software, using lots of examples. A lot of websites were also mentioned, for example the SMART Technologies website and [|www.interactivewhiteboard.net.au].
