The Sympodium and Smart Notebook Software

Sympodium

Some classrooms are equipped with a Sympodium. The Sympodium allows you to "write" using a special device and "digital ink" directly on the monitor using the Smart Notebook software or Microsoft PowerPoint. Your writing is displayed through the projector and can be saved as a PDF in Smart Notebook or in your PowerPoint presenation.

If your Smart Cart has a Sympodium attached (pictured), the following will help you use the Sympodium as well as the Notebook Software that accompanies it.
