The web-based, slimmed down version of Notebook Software has launched. This version of Notebook will allow you to open and edit a Notebook file from any computer that has internet access.

Here is the description from the site:

SMART Notebook Express is the new lightweight, web-based version of SMART Notebook software, and is the latest addition to the SMART Notebook family of products. It offers open access to some of the same delivery and editing features that have made SMART Notebook the world’s most popular collaborative learning software.

The tools available at this time are the Page Sorter, Text-editing tool, Pen Tool, and Single object selection, move and delete. Please click here to launch the application, or visit the SMART Tech site to learn more.
