Smart Board Resources

Thanks Dorie! These look good. It is important to remember that SMART notebook files can be imported into Promethean ActivInspire or Mimio Studio for those who don't have a SMART board or the SMART software. The reverse is true as well, Promethean flipcharts and Mimio notebook files can also be imported into the SMART software, but in this case, they must first have to be exported as .iwb files. It is important to remember, however, that when you export and import files into different software, some of your formatting may be lost and will need to be restored. See this blog entry on the subject, for example: http://www.whiteboardblog.co.uk/2012/01/an-experiment-with-the-common-iwb-file-format-in-smartpromethean/
