The document discusses how to effectively use the Internet, Microsoft applications, and Smart Notebook functions together. It provides examples of using the Smart Notebook transparent background, screen capture tools, measurement tools, and "Ink Aware" features to take notes from online or computer sources and combine them with shapes, text, and other Smart Notebook tools. Specific techniques demonstrated include capturing web pages, maps, and other content; inserting and formatting text; creating and formatting text boxes; capturing screenshots; using rulers and compasses to measure distances; and using the "magic pen" and "Ink Aware" features to write on and combine Smart Notebook pages with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files.

2. Transparent Background
The transparent background icon will allow your SB page to
"disappear," but will save all work you do as if you were still on it.
Why use the transparent background?
- look at content on-line or on the computer,
take notes and save them
- create a class record of notes/discussion without
constantly re-opening Smart Notebook
