## Step by step

### 1. Digital learning

Open Digital learning from the menu. On the left are the classes you teach. Choose one to see its notes.

*Step 1: Digital learning*

### 2. New note

Press New note. Give it a title, and a line about what it covers. Pupils see that line above the lessons.

### 3. The page

Your note opens. Its lessons are on the left, the lesson you are writing is in the middle, and on the right is what your class sees of it. Everything saves by itself as you type.

*Step 3: The page*

### 4. Title and heading

Name the lesson. Then write. Choose Heading 1 from the text style list for a heading.

### 5. Bold and superscript

Bold, italic and underline work as in any word processor. Subscript and superscript are here too, for H 2 O, x squared, and fractions like three over four.

*Step 5: Bold and superscript*

### 6. Lists and highlight

Use a numbered or bulleted list for steps, and the highlighter for the line your class must remember.

*Step 6: Lists and highlight*

### 7. A table

For a table, press the table button and choose its size. Then type into the cells.

### 8. Everything else

There is also text colour, alignment, indents, quotes, links, pictures, and a divider. And if you paste from Word, your headings, lists and tables come with it.

*Step 8: Everything else*

### 9. Saved

All changes saved. You never press Save, though Control S works if you are used to it.

### 10. More lessons

Add the next lesson with Add a lesson. A note can have as many lessons as the topic needs, and you can move them up and down.
