Smart Notebook

Despite the fact that it took forever to download onto my laptop, I was able to manage to create a Smart Notebook presentation. At first I was really excited to learn about the Smart software because I did not really know much about it. However I do not think it is really that extraordinary. In my opinion, it's basically Powerpoint with a few added features. The only thing that I really liked about the software was that the students can come up and write with the different pens and this will keep them involved and participating in the lesson. Overall I was not really impressed with the software. I made a presentation on contractions and I have the students come up to write with the different pens to brainstorm some contractions together, but other than that it isn't different or spectacular to me.
