I've been struggling to use SLSO in a similar way I used SmartAmp. These are some of the things I can't do with SLSO:

1. I was able to create a whole lesson from scratch in SmartAmp, with SLSO I have to pre-make a lesson and then import it.
2. Once I import the lesson to SLSO I can't modify the content or add to it (text, images, videos, etc).
3. I can only add a blank slide when the lesson is in progress (not while editing the lesson), but even so, the only thing I can do is use the pen tool (again: can't type, place images, videos, etc,)
4. When I convert a slide into a handout, my kids can only move things and use the pen tool, (again: can't type, place images, videos, etc.)

I just feel that SMART Technologies screwed up by trying to replace an excellent product (SmartAmp) for something that clearly doesn't have the features that made SmartAmp an awesome application. My only hope is that they add these features as soon as possible before teachers that loved SmartAmp start getting turned off and look for another alternatives.
