Scrolling Banners

A scrolling banner is a neat way to capture people’s attention or distract them at a specifically timed moment. You might, for example, have a particular message scroll across the screen to highlight an important date or remind people of a key takeaway.

To create a scrolling banner, follow these steps:

1. Open SMART Notebook and open a file or a new page.

2. Press the Gallery tab and select Lesson Activity Toolkit.

A menu appears.

3. Press Tools.

4. In the lower half of the Gallery tab, expand Interactive and Multimedia.

You see loads of different objects.

5. Scroll down until you find the scrolling text banner.

6. Drag the scrolling text banner to your page.

7. Double-click the banner to edit the text, and then type the message you want to scroll (see Figure 16-1).

8. Use the handles at the lower right to resize the banner and then place it where you want.

9. Click OK.
