Classroom Response Tool: Smart Notebook Labs

Smart Notebook has many fun formative activities built into the program.  You don't even need a physical Smart Board to use this classroom response tool; you just need the Smart Notebook software. All teachers already have this software installed on their school laptops.

To find the Smart Response 2 activity, open up Smart Notebook, and click on the "Activities" button.
You will have to sign in.  I recommend using your Google log-in.  Once you are logged in, you will see all the different formative activities you can choose from.  Look for "Smart Response 2."

The video below explains how this tool works.


Once you have created an activity, students go to a website on their Chromebooks or an iPad and enter in a class code and their first name.  They can now respond to the questions that appear on the board. 

Ideas for the Classroom:
  • How are you today?
    As students enter your classroom, have then give you an idea of how their day is going and/or how they are feeling at that moment.
  • Exit Ticket / Bell Ringer
    Quickly check students understanding of a concept or what they remember from an earlier class period
  • Pre-assessment
    Find out what students already know about a topic
