Infinite Cloner
The Infinite Cloner option in the object drop-down menu allows you to
reproduce an object an unlimited number of times, without having to
select clone repeatedly from the drop-down menu. You might use the
infinite cloner to teach counting or to present math problems.
Select Infinite Cloner from an object's drop-down menu. Now, whenever
you select the object, an infinity symbol will appear in the top-right corner
of the object.
When you press and drag an object set to infinitely clone, another
identical object is created. You can continue to create clones of the object
by dragging it until you deselect Infinite Cloner.
Turn the Infinite Cloner property off by selecting the infinity symbol in the
top-right corner of the object and selecting the Infinite Cloner menu item.
Adding Links to Objects
You can link an object to a website, another Notebook page, a file on your computer or a file residing in the
Attachments tab.
Select Link from an object's drop-down menu, and choose the type of link you would like to add to your
object from the Insert Link dialog box
Link type
By default, you can launch your linked website or file from an object by pressing the icon that appears in the
bottom-left corner of a linked object.
To remove a link, select the linked object. Select Link from the object drop-down menu, and press the
Remove Link button.
.
Use this to
Link an object to a Web page. Once the link is attached to the object, every time
you press it your Internet browser will launch and display the requested page.
Link to another page within your Notebook file. You might use this type of link
when presenting a question. For example, you could ask a question, then ask a
student to select from a set of objects representing potential answers. The object
containing the correct answer could link to a reward screen; the objects containing
incorrect answers could link to a page that encourages the student to try again.
Link to a file stored on your computer that relates to your lesson or presentation.
For example, you could link to a Microsoft Word or Excel file that contains
information that qualifies a statement in your Notebook file.
Link to a file you have stored in the Attachments tab. The Attachments tab will be
covered in detail later in this book.
