Widgets

@http://exchange.smarttech.com/details.html?id=a3eb6bfb-d4c9-448b-9ce5-bef55ff642e1 Widgets are new in Notebook 11 and can add some very special actions to your lessons and change the types of interactions that you can get with your students. Steps to adding widgets to SMART Notebook:

Step 1: Find the widget you want and SAVE it to your computer. (It is best to start a folder to keep them in so you can find them later.) Step 2: Open SMART Notebook. Open the //Gallery Tab// and "My Content". Step 3: Create a folder called "widgets" (that's what I called mine) and click on the drop down menu and choose "Add to My Content" Step 4: find the widget that you saved (the file name will end with //.galleryitem//) and open it. It is now in your folder ready to use!
