Asking instant questions

Use the Instant Question feature to introduce the SMART Response interactive response system to

your students. Instant questions are individual questions you ask spontaneously—they aren't part of

an assessment. When you use the Instant Questions feature, you’re unable to type a question or

assign a correct answer.

You can ask an instant question verbally, write or type it on an interactive whiteboard and add objects

directly onto the SMART Notebook page.
