Quick Reference
When editing a game, you can add text by typing in a text field, or by dragging and dropping text into a text field from the
Notebook page or another application such as word processing software or a webpage. If you would like to ensure that
others cannot edit your game, check the Password box, and set a password. This action can prevent participants from
accidentally accessing the edit area of the activity during class.
For best results, limit the number of individual Adobe Flash games in your Notebook file to three or less. If you prefer not to
use Adobe Flash-based games, some games are also available in a Notebook page format. Adobe Flash activities are
identified with a symbol, and Notebook pages are identified with a folded down top-right corner .
Graphics
Icons and images from the Graphics folder will help you create sophisticated and engaging lessons. Title bars and pull tabs
can be dragged directly onto the Notebook software page. You can add links to buttons and icons to make the lesson more
interactive and engaging, and improve the flow. To add a link to an object, right-click on the object, and select Link. You can
add a link to another file, a page within the current file, an Internet site or an attached file.
To modify the text included in a graphic, select the graphic, and select Ungroup from the graphic’s drop-down menu. Once
you have modified the text, select the graphic and the text at the same time, and select Group from an object drop-down
menu to regroup the text and the image as one graphic object.
Dice Interactive dice are available that you can roll with a single touch
Dominos Individual dominos that you can use in a game or lesson activity are
available in both black and white
Hot spots Use one of the images that is provided, for example, the world map,
a human body, a grid, a Venn diagram, or add your own image. Set
hot spots and a question. Participants touch the area on the image
to respond to the question. This activity can be scored. The game is
good for reviewing how to label an object and geography. To add an
image to the game, drag the image onto the work area and send it
behind the game by selecting Order > Send to Back from the
object drop-down menu.
Sudoku Participants can complete a Sudoku puzzle, with three levels of
difficulty on-screen using a pen tool or the On-Screen Keyboard.
The Hint button adds a number to the puzzle, and the Solve button
will show the answers. This game is a fun way to start a math class.
Word biz Participants select letters, in the correct order, from a grid to answer
a question you set in advance. This activity can be timed, and you
can modify the speed. You can include up to eight words in one
Word biz game, making this game a good choice for reviewing
spelling and vocabulary words.
Word guess Participants guess letters to form a pre-determined word. There are
three game formats available to select from (soccer, basketball and
tomato splat). You can include up to 10 words in one game, making
this activity useful for review.
