flip objects
I am a math teacher. Notebook allows "flip" so I can do reflect objects for transformations.

Alternative Formats for Some Exercises
I'm teaching an ESL student, and would appreciate simpler (customizable) multiple-choice and matching formats. The spin-the-wheel and animal formats are fine for kids, but not a great match for adults. It would also be nice to include simple reward sounds for correct answers, and navigation animations (or arrows pictured on the slides) so students can progress onscreen through their exercises.

Language tool
Considering how much language teaching is growing in schools, using language software tools helps to be more confident with the language itself. For this reason, and perhaps others, is it possible to evaluate a tool that allows Lumio users to be able to choose the language of the platform? the choice could be made both during the authentication phase, but also during use.

Add effects to boxes and things that cover texts or images
I like to use boxes to cover up definitions, etc. until we discuss it as a class. Then after we talk about it, I click on it and it appears (can do this with text as well). I know smart notebook had this capability, but it's not capable within Lumio. It will let me create a box but no object transformations like fading out.

Notebook 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/ animations/ tools not offered in Lumio.
Why spend time perfecting my lessons in Notebook, only to have to re-edit everything once I upload to Lumio before sharing with students?
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…

Thank you for your feedback! We love Notebook too; we've added functionality to it over the last 20 years and there's a lot in there.
We plan on continuing to add support for the best of Notebook features in Lumio and making your Notebook files work better when imported to Lumio. For example, we recently added support for shapes and lines and the MathType equation editor.
We would appreciate your input to help us prioritize the features that are the most important to you. Let us know your favorite specific features by voting on ideas. If you don't see your feature suggested already, create a new idea.
Thank you again, your suggestions will help shape the development of Lumio.

full page
When I transfer a SMART Notebook doc to Lumio, less than 60% of the SMART Board screen is in use. Hard for students beyond row 3 to see content. I, as the editor, should be able to extend screen vertically and horizontally to have it be seen by all students anywhere in the room.

Interactive spinners, dice, cards, timers
ESPECIALLY in today's remote/hybrid world -- SMART has many opportunities for collaboration. I enjoy my students playing games together through SMART, but needing to access a separate website for spinners, cards, and dice is really challenging for young learners. Please help! :)

We are looking at a phased rollout of widgets support in Lumio.

Page extender
Extend a page in Lumio if you need more space to work! Instead of flipping back and forth between slides

Favoriting staying with account not board.
We have multiple teachers who move from classroom to classroom. When they sign into their account on a new device their favorites are not saved. I would like for your favorites to travel with the account versus staying with the board.

Add mp4 video
I would like to be able to add mp4 videos from my computer. Many teachers would have videos that are not from an online platform, such as student made videos. How can we add them?
Otherwise I will need to add all video content on to YouTube to then import onto my lumio.

Add Voice Prompts in Game Based Activities
It would be great to be able to add voice prompts (clues) when a student can't read a word in game based activities. Example, when using flip out, if a student couldn't read a word on a card, they could click on a voice prompt to hear the word said. Images are helpful, but a recorded word(s) would be better.

Notebook
Here's my wish list:
1) When I use Smart Exchange, I can download a lesson and open it as a Notebook File. Then I can edit it. However, within Lumio itself, I don't see how I can download my own files. Likewise, if a colleague shared a link to a lumio file, I can edit within Lumio, but I don't know how I can download that lesson and work on in Notebook. Maybe we can, and I just don't know how?
More importantly,
2) Lumio has a lot of great templates, and ready made resources. However, I don't see those…8 votes -
Can we please get a google slides or powerpoint extension like Nearpod has?
with nearpod, I can work directly from google slides using an extension. This would be a great benefit for Lumio.

Be able to attach audio files to Lumio lessons
Be able to add audio files to Lumio pages. This can be done in Google Slides and is needed in Lumio. I tried importing a G Slide that had an attached audio file, but it didn't work...
I am a middle school music teacher and I would love to be able to click on an object or text on Lumio lesson on my whiteboard and have all students be able to post their reactions and insights into the music that they are hearing. Right now I have to play the music on another device while students respond in the Whole…2 votes -
Inserting guided questions throughout videos
Teachers need to be able to insert guided questions at stopping points throughout ready-made videos or those they have created on their own. EdPuzzle and Nearpod both allow this and it's a game-changer for blended learning. Also, check out the Modern Classrooms Project.org to see how these videos allow teachers to assist other students while the majority are using self-paced videos. If I were to ever go back into the classroom, I would teach that way!

Be able to change the slide template without having to create a whole new slide.
I love all the different templates available in Lumio! The drawback to all the templates is you cannot just change the template of a slide. I have to create an entirely new slide if I want to change the template. It would be great to be able to change just the template and all the information on the slide would still be available instead of creating a entirely new slide.
