Trouble downloading?? Try one of these:

	Important Note:  These templates will only work with SMART Notebook 9.5. If you are not running 9.5, you will need to update your Notebook software. Install the SMART Board software 9.5 - full installation. If you try to download these templates and you get a zipped file or a document full of code, you need to update to Notebook 9.5.
	Unsure of what version you are running? Open Notebook, go to Help, About SMART Notebook, then select the Technical Support tab, and look at the Build number.
	Need to upgrade to SMART Notebook Version 9.5? Uninstall your current version of Notebook, then go to SMART Tech's site and download version 9.5. Don't forget the Essentials for Educators download - it's all the clipart and galleries!
	Mac Users: First, let me say that I'm not a Mac user, but a common problem seems to do with the templates not downloading, displaying code or needing to be unzipped. This has to do with the template trying to open in the same window as your browser. Assuming you are using Safari, open the browser, go to Preferences, then select the General tab, under download files to (location), uncheck open/save files after opening and then check open link in new window after opening.   Another Mac idea from Chris Klein of SMART Technologies - when downloading a file, it will list as (for example): expectations.notebook.zip. Rename the file and remove the last .zip and it will then work as a .notebook file.
