Asking Questions with SMART Notebook
Creating Instant Questions
Use the Instant Question feature to introduce the SMART Response interactive
response system to your students. When you use Instant Questions, you’re unable to
type a question or assign a correct answer. You can ask questions verbally, by writing
on a whiteboard, or by typing the question and adding objects directly onto the
SMART Notebook page.

before asking individual questions.
