Adding
Notes
Students can add a note almost anywhere in the program. Jotting down important
points helps many students retain information. Hold down the control key
while clicking anywhere on the screen and a small dialog box will appear.
Type in your note, click on OK, and an icon of a small
piece of paper will appear on your screen. Clicking on this icon will bring
up your note again. This note cannot be printed—it is simply a tool
to help a student while working on that screen.

responses, which can then be graded by the teacher. These can also be
graded through Manage IT!.
Highlighting
The student can hold down the shift key and click on portions of text
or graphics to highlight them. Shift-clicking once highlights in
blue, twice in yellow, and three times in pink. Four times removes
the highlight. This feature is available in all titles.
