![]() So, is there anything you can do? If you have found a Smartboard Notebook file but own another brand, you can use the free SMART Notebook Express software to view and use files. Unfortunately, the reverse is not possible: Smartboard owners cannot open ActivInspire files. Promethean board owners can open Notebook (Smartboard) files directly in the ActivInspire software. If you have a different brand of IWB, all is not lost. What’s more, you can customise the file to suit your own students. ![]() The file will include interactive elements, audio examples that wil play when touched, moveable shapes and images and more. What this means is that if you have a matching brand of IWB at your school, you can download the file and start using in your classroom straight away. There are also a number of Promethean (ActivInspire) files as well. The most popular brand of IWB – Smartboard- is well represented, with the majority of the shared files in the Smartboard Notebook format. ![]() The files these teachers have shared are designed to work with specific brands of IWB. Each of these resources is designed to enhance music literacy, creativity and listening activities and to add an interactive element. There are a number of music teachers that regularly share IWB files that they have created and tested with students in the classroom. I’ve written before about using interactive whiteboards in the music classroom but sometimes it’s really useful to see what other practising music teachers are doing “in the trenches”.
