Inserting content from the Gallery
The Gallery is a tab in the SMARTNotebook software user interface where you can browse or search
for content and then add that content to your .notebook files.
The Gallery contains Lesson Activity Examples, which includes Activity Builder examples (see
Creating a matching lesson activity on page 102), interactive techniques and 3D models to aid you in
creating lesson activities.
When your system administrator installs SMARTNotebook software, he orshe can install the
following additional items:
l Gallery Essentials is a collection of thousands of pictures, multimedia objects and more,
organized into subject-specific categories.
l Lesson Activity Toolkit is a collection of customizable tools and templates that you can use to
create professional-looking and interactive lessons. The toolkit helps you create engaging
content like word games, quizzes and sorting activities. It also offers AdobeFlash Player
compatible files like hide-and-reveal and drag-and-drop.
The Gallery is divided into two sections. The top section of the Gallery is the category list. When you
select a category or subcategory in the list, its contents appear in the bottom section of the Gallery.
