SMART Notebook’s interactive activities and assessments use hellosmart.com. Use the recommended network capacity, student device and operating system requirements, and web browser recommendations to ensure the best possible experience with SMART Notebook’s interactive activities and assessments.

Network capacity recommendations

SMART Notebook activities on hellosmart.com are designed to keep network requirements as low as possible while still supporting rich collaboration. The network recommendation for Shout It Out! alone is 0.3 Mbps per device. A school that regularly uses other Web 2.0 tools should have enough network capacity to run SMART Notebook activities on hellosmart.com.

If activities on hellosmart.com are used in conjunction with other online resources, such as streaming media, greater network capacity could be required, depending on the other resources.

  • Any computer running the latest version of Windows (10 or later) or any Mac running macOS (10.13 or later)

  • Any iPad or iPhone upgraded to the latest iOS

  • Any Android phone or tablet with Android version 8 or later

  • Any Google Chromebook upgraded to the latest Chrome OS
