SMARTNotebook and Extreme Collaboration AddOn Beta

I recently learned about Extreme Collaboration (XC) AddOn Beta for SMARTNotebook 11.  XC allows you to use any device that can connect to the Internet to be able to interact with SMARTNotebook files.  You log onto a website (add2nb.com), enter the personalized number id and you can send up to 10 messages to appear on the SMARTBoard within the Notebook file that you are currently working in.

Once I understood how it worked I thought of some great ways to use it with my class.  I thought about using it for spelling words, and rhyming words.  I then went into SMARTNotebook and created 2 files to support April's rhyming units in the Elementary Band.  Each file has a cover page, instructions, and then 4-6 pages of pictures to represent various rhyming words.  In the second picture you can see, what my students did with their devices (iPads and iTouches).

 

This is the file for -ive rhyming words:
