Sharing lesson files with a link

Sharing using a link enables you to easily share your lesson files with other teachers. It also enables you to send out copies of your SMART Notebook lessons so that students can review the lesson at home. Sending a link to a file is particularly useful for sharing large files, or if you want to save your files to your SMART account so you can access them in your SMART Learning Suite Online lesson library or SMART Board interactive display with iQ .

If another teacher shares a link with you, when you click on the link, you’ll have the option to either download the file, or save it to your SMART Learning Suite Online lesson library.
