  1. Change the page size (papersize) and orientation of the page. Currently, Notebook pages only present a 8.5x11 page in Portrait view. With new boards and displays being 16:9 aspect ratio, this causes some viewing issues that could be easier to resolve with the ability to rotate the page to better fit the wide view. It would also make for printing on 11x17 papers for our visually impaired students much easier on them.

  3. Bring back the widget SDK in order to code your own widgets. I've met a lot of teachers/people who are creative and capable of coding widgets.

  4. If you are sharing SMART Notebook® files to your SMART account using the menu "Files | Share..." there should be a warning if the SMART Notebook® file is containing objects which won't work in Lumio™ by SMART or SMART iQ™ (like a widget, a GeoGebra object etc.). This would prevent false expectations when opening the files in the classroom with Lumio or SMART iQ™. Of course the perfect solution would be to make all the possible objects in the SMART Notebook® software supported in Lumio and SMART iQ™.

  5. Please could you include the timer app that is part of smart notebook in the tools in smart ink. This would be really useful in class.

  6. Ease of use of creating questions on the response activity.
    Being able to drag images into the question and having a math type option.

  7. I would like the ability to customize what displays on the toolbar when in full screen mode. I do not want the magic pen. I would rather have the regular pen available.

  8. I'm struggling to understand why Lumio has so many enrichment and interactive activities, yet doesn't have the same basic tools as Notebook. I've spent years creating my slides in Notebook, most with special fonts or animations or tools not in Lumio. Why spend time perfecting my lessons in Notebook, only to have to re-edit everything once I upload to Lumio?
    Why start fresh in Lumio when I have less than half the options & tools I normally use in my lessons?

    Notebook & Lumio might as well be two separate companies because they have basically nothing in common and do…

  9. It would be nice when not using mouse, pad or pen to be able to press the arrow key on keyboard (while preparing the lesson for example) to move objects straightforwardly more quickly, instead of pressing the key a numerous amont of time (one per pixel)...

    Not sure if my explanation is very clear, sorry about that! :)

  10. Hi,

    Could it be possible to prevent objects from getting automatically "sucked" into a table cell and instead have a locking option on the table to be able to place an object "above" a table cell? It could be very useful when creating board games using tables as boards and images as pawns...

    Thank you!

  11. I would love to see a reward button that you could push that would deliver confetti and stickers. For example Google has a confetti extension that you can push and it will throw confetti on the screen.

  12. Hello,

    Please could you make it possible to remove individual students from an activity rather than having to remove all. At my school, we use the 'Response' activity as a form of assessment at the start and end of a topic and it can be frustrating if students put in the wrong name when starting the activity. It would be useful if we could just remove that student and let them re-enter, rather than having to remove everybody.

  13. I regularly import scans/photos/document camera snapshots from book, papers etc. and they do not always have a good contrast and/or brightness. Which should not be a problem, since a contrast/brightness adjustment is trivial.

    However, Notebook does not provide an option to adjust contrast and/or brightness after adding a bitmap.

    Which is especially annoying for pictures that are imported directly from the document camera, which not always provide good contrast. Yes, even if using the best possible settings on the camera itself. And even if the settings were not optimal (which can happen), there is no reason not to provide an…

  17. Years ago, when you supported flash, there was a random word chooser and a random group generator. I used to use that daily to choose students at random in my class and still miss it.

  20. When using a background with lines for writing, text automatically sits on the line instead of having to place it there and adjust letter sizing.
