Turn my iPad into a SMART Notebook remote control

SMART Notebook Maestro is an Add-on for SMART Notebook that pairs your iPad to your laptop (Windows or Mac). When enabled:

  1. What you write in Notebook on your iPad, appears on SMART Notebook on your laptop and vice versa.
  2. You can manipulate objects and add sound and pictures to SMART Notebook lessons from your iPad.

Why is this useful? For Math and Physics teachers who want to handwrite notes during live Google Hangout Meetings, this will allow them to share their SMART Notebook window to their class on their laptop, and use their iPad as a writing tablet. Here's an article which details how to set this up.
