Shout it out
It should be possible again to send text with "Shout it out" resulting in a "standard" Notebook text object on the Notebook page like it has been with XC collaboration in the past.
Teachers need to edit the input and copy/move the results from one Notebook page to another. Momentarily the text or picture objects are stuck in the grey "stage" of "Shout it out".
These objects can't be edited by the teacher after the students have sent their text information to the Notebook page. If these object would be "real" Notebook text object instead, this would be possible again.
Plus a teacher would be able to combine "shout it out" and the "concept mapping" activity of SMART lab. While in a "concept map" activity, students would be able to send their input via "Shout it out" to the Notebook page and the teacher would then be able to convert the input to a concept map item by encircling the objects.
Like mentioned before in other postings, it should also be possible to send text and pictures at the same time (instead of choosing just one type).
All these changes/ideas would be a huge pedagogical value for teachers and it is the #1 demand from teachers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland when it comes to "Shout it out" !!!

Thanks for your feedback, Thomas. You will be happy to know that the features you mentioned are prioritized in our backlog. Being able to contribute both images and text will likely come first followed by better ways to extract/reuse contributions sent in from students. Look for them in future updates, and please continue to send us these great ideas.
