  1. Fix pen thickness

    Please make the default pen thickness something we can set to stay. I like the thinest possible and I am sure others prefer it thicker. BUT if we could set it to stay the thickness we want that would be awesome. It is a pain to have to reset it everytime I change color or pick the pen back up.

  2. please bring back the random number generator

    I miss the old flash number generator. The only way to do a number generator now is clunky and limited only to 99.

  3. Different colour backgrounds on in-built Whiteboard (Smartboard 6000)

    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. Tons of quality of life improvements please

    Please add as options or default behavior. Your current options screen is minimal and could be vastly improved with more options. (Applies to version 18.1.2294.0)

    +Allow scrollbar to scroll infinitely like Microsoft Excel without needing to press extend page

    +Allow "extend page" to be a button on the tool bar, place it in the drop down menu in the "view" menu, and give it a keyboard shortcut.

    +Allow us to change and save default colors for each pen, and default pen thickness. These changes are lost on Notebook restart currently.

    +Allow to change and save default eraser thickness as well.

    +Allow us to control scrollbar thickness as an option to make it easier to correctly click the scrollbar

    +When using screen capture tool, allow us to draw the capture box and adjust the lines by clicking and dragging before the capture is taken. Similar to Microsoft Word "crop" feature when selecting an image. This could be added as separate capture option on the capture menu with the 4 options currently.

  7. PLEASE enable some form of equation editor or Math Type for SmartLab activities such as Smart Response, Monster Quiz and Game Shows.

    Please enable an equation editor function for Smartlab activities. Currently not able to use any and this is prohibitive as Maths teachers cannot enter any maths functions. Originally Smart Response did have an equation editor and this was fantastic - but the new SR doesn't permit this which is a huge step backwards. Not practical to type up a function / equation / expression in something like word then snip it and save it and then import this as an image - that is far too clunky and time-consuming. Also the great activities in SmartLab do not have the ability to enter maths expressions.

  8. Remove Students

    Remove inappropriate student names from online activities and lab activities. When students use fake names to logon to activities can we please kick them out straight away, rather than remove all students.

  9. Add a "preview" feature to LAB activities.

    It would be great to have a preview feature so we can see how the content will look before finishing it and using it with students.

  11. text to speech for sound option

    Can you please add a text-to-speech "sound" option instead of just voice recording or a downloaded sound? Our teachers do not all have microphones with their computers. Other similar products have text to speech playback. For instance, if putting a child's name on a button in an daily attendance activity it could read the label "student A" when touched instead of having the teacher physically record "student A". This would save a lot of time compared to similar products.

  12. re: Label Reveal: please increase the number of pinned tags to 40. It's currently 10. With 40, this tool'd make great class seating plans!

    re: Label Reveal: please increase the number of pinned tags to 40. It's currently 10. With 40, this tool'd make great class seating plans! It would enable the teacher to customize a photo background (e.g. a photo of the class), then label each student. Then attendance or other class tracking can be done simply by clicking on the label. While many SMART tools are more directed to younger audience, this one could easily be used right through high school. Please expand pinned tags to 40!

  13. Enlarging Text & Pictures within the interactive activites in Smart lab

    When creating an activity in Smart lab sometimes the font is too small to be read if it is longer than a few words and pictures are sometimes too small when the students use their phones. I would love to be able to change and increase font size for review on my board. Or, if there was a hover feature that would temporarily enlarge an object or text.

  15. Equation Editor

    It would be great if I could insert an equation right in the text. If I want to insert an equation in a paragraph I have to leave space, open the equation tool, type it in then resize to fit.

    It would be great if there was a size option for the equation tool. When adjusting the equation and I click to insert the size increases and I have to resize.

    The text that is used to write the equation is not what it use to be. It is distorted and looks nothing like an equation editor math equation.

  18. Combine multiple files in SLSO into 1 lesson

    Hello!

    I have a question/request. Is there any way to add a pdf or other document to a SMART Learning Suite lesson that has already been created?

    My teachers are loving what they can do with their static materials. Turning their documents into interactive experiences has the teachers and the students excited! However, I have had several instances where teachers wanted to go back and add an additional document/pdf after they had already spent a significant amount of time compiling numerous resources and activities into a lesson. This is likely to happen with all teachers because the instructional process should be fluid. Teachers may find new content that they want to add or they may realize, based on student responses, that additional documents need to be added to provide a more targeted or customized lesson. This situation may also occur when teachers update lessons from year to year. How we teach our students is (and should be) ever-evolving. If a teacher wants to add one or two new documents to a lesson, they should be able to do that without remaking every activity they have already worked hard to create. I do realize that they can create a separate lesson that contains those materials, but it would be disconnected from the compiled content already created. This is not the best service to teachers. Is there any way for this change to be made?

    If you need more information or clarification, please don't hesitate to contact me!

    Thanks!

  19. I want the ability to hyperlink text within a sentence.

    We can hyperlink objects and an entire text box. But if I create a sentence, I would like the ability to hyperlink a key word in that sentence. This is how we see writing online. This is for Notebook 19, not 18.
