Make the calligraphic pen and the thinnest line the default setting
I miss the old smartboards that allowed users to customize the pen hardware default settings. It is a horrible design to not be able to set a default of the pen style and thickness. I am constantly changing the pen settings to use the calligraphic pen with the thinnest line possible. I also preferred the ease of quickly changing the pen color in the tray, but the sleeker design of the new versions don't offer this.

Keeping Up With The Klassroom Teachers
I use Notebook every single day for multiple courses and have done so for 8+ years. While I love this software, there have been minimal, miniscule changes in the last 4 versions. It's disappointing when a widely used tool doesn't progress to meet the needs of its users.
Here are some basic changes that I REALLY hope to see in the near future:
- Ability to set a default font & size.
- Ability to set a default pen, line, & eraser thickness.
- Option for hiding fonts that appear in dropdown menu
- Put a "recently used" or "favorites" section at the beginning…

"Mask" vs.Crop
The "mask" feature is inefficient. It launches in the center at a small size when it would be much better if it launched at the edges of the image. Both the mask frame and the actual image can be moved, which is frustrating.
Why not just make it a cropping feature like everyone is used to??

100's Chart
Kids learn best when they can touch the Smartboard to flip over any number between 1-100.
Kids can see the patterns in numbers (counting by 2's, 5's, 10's) when the teacher can manipulate the colour of the digits

build an interactive thermometer that shows CELCIUS
Kids learn best when they can manipulate the mercury to travel up and down the thermometer to reflect the temperature of the day.
Numbers need to be big. Ensure they can see each increment line between the numbers. Make 0 degrees a different coloured number than the + and - numbers.

Page setup
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.

Widget SDK
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.

Warning for not supported objects when sharing files with Lumio/SMART SMART iQ™
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™.

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.

Lumio Integration
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…

Continuous movement with arrow keys on keyboard
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! :)

Prevent objects from getting automatically "sucked" into a table cell
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!

Confetti buttton
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.

Activities
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.

Adjustments for imported Bitmaps: Contrast and Brightness
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…
