Randy Tran replied to Clarence Beeks's discussion Repairing recovered Notebook files."Hey Clarance,
One of the Notebook files' greatest non-secrets is that our file formats are really re-purposed from other existing formats. XBK and NBK files are actually 2 different XML standards. And as you can probably guess,…"

Clarence Beeks posted a discussionRepairing recovered Notebook files.
Hi everyone,A teacher in our district had a flash drive that had become problematic. I ran a file-recovery program, and it appeared to recover all the files from the drive, except the Notebook files. Every other file (.doc, .pdf, .ppt, .xls, jpeg, etc) was recovered in its own format, just named generically (ex. FILE008.pdf, etc). The program did create two folder of .ZIP files. When I root around in those .ZIP files, it appears that these are Notebook files that have been totally "blown…See More
Matthew Thaxter commented on Matthew Thaxter's group The new SMART Notebook 11"Also, with Notebook 11, you have the option to have different screen resolutions to fit with your sized board. This will also give you the option of what is considered full-screen. For the VIEW option choose ZOOM and then ENTIRE PAGE. When you close…"
Brandie Boback commented on Matthew Thaxter's group The new SMART Notebook 11"Alan-
Notebook 11 has a scrolling option in Full Screen view, so that you can use more page space if you desire, but the width will remain the same. Something new is that you can go to your view menu and set up a border that will show you…"
"Have any of you taken the Notebook 11 assessment? I am having a hard time reading the LW due to the fact it is hard to read that much material online. I would really like to print the resources. Is the webinar enough?"

Am I missing something?
Posted by Tim Unger on May 1, 2012 at 9:28pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
I sit on the B.O.E. for a small parochial school and have been trying to research Smartboards. Our school purchased one last year and I see no diference between that and a computer with a projector. It took every cent of the P.T.O. to purchase and now the B.O.E. is wanting to purchace another. We have an extreemly outdated computer room and it is either a Smartboard or Computer Lab update. With out statistics I am opposed to Smartboards until our Comp. Lab is correctly updated. Am I missing…
Continue Copy right? Ignore or explore?

Anyone interested in sharing their copy right knowledge for their particular county? Copy right is a hot topic in Australia. We could share information in relation to referencing materials and how to make students arware of their copy right obligations. I think it important to make students aware that when they take something from the internet that are taking a copy of someone's resources. You can even teach this to students in year 2 or 3. It is also important for teachers to be aware…
