What is SMART Notebook?

If you're using, or looking to use, SMART Notebook software, we have licenses. Here's how you can request a Notebook license, install the software, and activate it. SMART Notebook is interactive software to use with Riverdale's interactive projectors. Using the included classroom pens, you can open a SMART Notebook file on your computer, connect your computer to the projector via USB-C, and then use the interactive digital pens directly on the whiteboard while projecting. Your writing will be digitally captured in the notebook and can be saved and exported in a variety of formats.
