  1. When I create a Notebook file on my computer, I use custom fonts to make it more visually appealing. When I send the files to SMART Online Learning Suite, the fonts change to the defaults and the formatting gets ruined. It would be great if there was a way to preserve the fonts, or add custom fonts to SMART Learning Suite.

  2. When writing with the pens, the default line is thick. It would be nice to have the default option to be the thin line, or at least, make it so you can choose it once while you're working. Instead, you have to reset it each time you pick up the pen.

  3. In the in-built Whiteboard, we currently have access to lined, grid, dotted or grey background. Several children in my school have problems dealing with text on white background. Please can we have some other colours (pastel).

  4. In earlier versions of Notebook, there was a Sentence Arrange activity. I loved this activity! As a French/Spanish teacher, I used it in many different ways: putting numbers in order, putting days of the week or months of the year in order, putting conversations in order, etc. This activity, Sentence Arrange, is technically available in the Version 18 Toolkit but it is unfortunately garbage! There is no edit feature. There is no reset. There is no check feature. To add items, you have to manually clone the existing ones. It is not good at all. Could you please update the…

  6. SMART Tech provides a basic free modern edition of the SMART Notebook software for Windows and Mac users only. I would like please to request that SMART Tech offers also to the Linux users a modern free basic edition of the same software (SMART Notebook).
    The current version (at the time I am writing, March 2023) of that SMART Notebook for Windows is 18 but for Linux it is only 11. Version 11 is not a modern version and it doesn't work with the recent Linux. It works only with Ubuntu 20.04 or Linux Mint 20.3 (because Mint 20.3 is…

  7. Notebook ... version 22. More than 10 versions after version 11.
    And still no decent (fast to use) math-editor.

    1. The latest one is sluggish.
    2. The latest one does not insert my equations, only the one "it" thinks are correctly formatted.
    3. The style (Times New Roman) .. without italic variables just does not feel correct.

    Please bring back the formula-editor that was implemented in version 11!

  9. I always use the thinnest pen and smallest rubber on smartboard, but find I have to constantly change to choose these. Can I set it up so that these are my default settings?

  11. We need to be able to provide our teachers with a notes/lesson section (like how you can add notes to individual slides in PowerPoint that your audience can't see). Would it be possible to add this feature to slides in the notebook? We share lessons a lot and it would be really helpful to be able to outline what teaching should happen on what slide in the lessons.

  13. Hi, teachers think the new video search isn't as good as the previous YouTube search. Many videos they want to embed is filtered out in the new search function. Is there anything you can do about it?

  14. It would be great for the widgets (dice, clock, spinner, pull tab, etc.) that work in Smart Notebook to carry over and work in SLSO ...or added at the SLSO level.

  15. In SLS online please add the ability to make folder to sort and store activities. This way teachers can keep the space organized and file activities how they would like, instead of only by date or name.

  17. I would like the feature where you can import PowerPoint slides into SMART Notebook, while keeping the existing slide animations. This way, I wouldn't have to animate every slide with new animations

  20. Please enable the adobe flash player for the new smart notebook downloads. There are many fun and interactive things I would like to use from Smart Exchange to engage my students but I cannot use them because the new update doesn't allow it. The older version of Smart notebook was way more convenient and user friendly.
