Teachers spend a great deal of time creating Smart Notebook files.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could send your files home with students to work on the file at home?  Well, actually you can.  

SMART Notebook Express is a "lightweight version" of SMART Notebook software that is accessible online anytime for FREE. It does not have all the bells and whistles that the full package does but for an absolutely free tool it is hard to beat.  

With the SMART Notebook Express web application, you don’t need to log in and there’s no software to download - all you need is Internet access.  Of course, you can download it if you choose.  

SMART Notebook Express is accessible at http://express.smarttech.com.

Here is a cheat sheet you can print out to help you.
