How To Get Started With Interactive Notebooks (Plus 25 Terrific Examples)

It’s so much more than a place to take notes during class.

Collage of Interactive Notebook Ideas

In the last few years, interactive notebooks (INBs) have become incredibly popular in all sorts of classrooms. If you’re new to the concept, or just unsure of where to start, here’s what you need to bring this learning tool to your students. And be sure to check out all the awesome interactive notebook examples we found to give you some inspiration.

What is an interactive notebook?

Think of it as an all-in-one resource for students on any given subject. Rather than just using the notebook to take notes during class, kids add to them with hands-on activities, drawings, reference pages, and so much more. It combines the best of worksheets, reference materials, and handwritten notes all in one place. By the end, an interactive notebook is so full that it often winds up being twice the size. Students have something meaningful to review before a test or look back on to reflect on their learning.

Interactive notebooks involve “teacher input” items, such as blank templates, images to color or copy, and sorting activities to cut and paste. It’s important that each teacher input item also involves student output: something to complete, color, fill in, illustrate, etc. That’s what makes the notebook interactive.

Interactive Notebook Basics

First, decide what type of notebook your students should use. Many teachers recommend composition-style over spiral-bound, since those wire spirals tend to get pretty bent out of shape as the year goes on. Plus, composition notebooks are easy to store in a bin without the wires getting tangled up. In primary grades, plan for multiple notebooks, one per subject.

Then, stock up on glue! Kids will be adding additional elements to many of the pages, and you need a way to fasten them in that dries quickly and is easy to use. For younger kids, offer hands-on help at the beginning so they can learn to apply the glue only where needed (you don’t want those pages getting stuck together!). Many teachers prefer glue sticks, but Tap ‘N Glue caps or a glue sponge can work well too.

No matter what your notebook ultimately contains, be sure to include an easy way to navigate it. Some teachers like a table of contents at the beginning, with the ability for students to fill in new sections as they go. (Pro tip: Don’t try to keep everyone on the same page—it’s just too easy for a student to make a mistake. Instead, let kids number their own pages and fill in their own TOCs.)

Other teachers prefer to use a tab system instead, so they don’t need to worry about page numbers at all. This works well for notebooks that aren’t overly long or complicated. You can also combine a TOC with tabs, to make things even easier for students.

Interactive Notebook Examples

If you’re feeling overwhelmed at the thought of getting started with this tool, don’t worry! So many other teachers use and love them, and they’re happy to share their ideas for you to try. Take a look at teacher blogs or Teachers Pay Teachers, where you’ll find entire notebook templates ready for your own classroom. Here are some examples to get you started.

How you can ditch PowerPoint and build better slides with Jupyter and Reveal.js

How you can ditch PowerPoint and build better slides with Jupyter and Reveal.js

by Dat Tran

1*MvyDoOEprAO-lbSuInyA0w

In this article, I will introduce jupyter2slides — a little side project of mine that lets you easily create beautiful and interactive presentation slides using Jupyter Notebook and reveal.js .

Here’s what it looks like:

And this is the corresponding PDF, generated with DeckTape :

My motivation for building this

Microsoft PowerPoint is cool. It’s like a Swiss Army knife for consultants, and you can make beautiful slides with it.

When it comes to code, though, PowerPoint sucks. The solution is to use reveal.js. You can use markdown to highlight code, and it’s responsive. But like LaTeX , it can be tedious.

Another way to use reveal.js is through Jupyter which offers many advantages:

  • In-browser editing for code with automatic syntax highlighting, indentation, and tab completion
  • Ability to run code with the results of computations attached to the code which generated them (literate programming)
  • Supports Markdown and many media formats such as HTML, LaTex, audio, and images
  • Supports interactive widgets to manipulate and visualize data
  • Uses tools from the PyData stack like Matplotlib, Numpy, and Bokeh as well as others like Plotly and Folium

To use reveal.js with Jupyter, you create a notebook and use nbconvert to get reveal.js slides as well. But the standard design is boring:

1*kq3-BczjCXej2BMu-u4Qyw

My solution

I’ve worked on a project that lets you generate beautiful presentation slides. The entire code is on my GitHub repo . Under the hood, it still uses nbconvert with reveal.js, but I extended it by:

  • Adding a customized theme which has a cleaner design
  • Enabling the title footer plugin by default
  • Enabling slide numbers by default
  • Adding a Jupyter notebook template with examples like cover and divider slides, markdown syntax, and more
  • Making it easier to push the presentation to Cloud Foundry by using Flask and the Python buildpack
  • Including the option to export slides to PDF using DeckTape

How to get started

To create your own presentation, clone the repo on GitHub and go through its readme.

I hope this project will be of use for you in the future. I look forward to seeing others use this template at conferences like PyData . I welcome any feedback to improve the slide designs and others’ contributes to the code base.

If you found this article useful, give me a high five ?? so others can find it too, and share it with your friends. Follow me here on Medium (Da t Tran) or on Twitter (@d atitran) to stay up-to-date with my work. Thanks for reading!

Digital Interactive Notebooks Using Google Slides

Interactive notebooks have been around for a long time. For years, I demonstrated how to use interactive notebooks in the classroom during reading and language workshops. Most of the time, I found the content to be uninspired and disconnected from students going through the motions. Once I discovered digital interactive notebooks using Google Slides, things began to change for my students.

It all started when I noticed a new twist to interactive notebooks in which students create and take notes in a more three-dimensional way. Students cut, color, glue, and highlight to help them connect to the material taught. This type of interaction encourages students to be more creative, independent thinkers.

I don’t know about you, but school supplies in the classroom can sometimes be a nightmare! Students eat their pencils and chew on their erasers, the glue dries up, and notebooks get full and fall apart. It took forever for students to create their notebooks, AND it was a lot of work for me, too. I no longer have to worry about this problem with digital interactive notebooks. Just grab a device and go!

Introducing Digital Interactive Notebooks

Typically, I introduce the app Book Creator to my teachers who have iPads in their classrooms. I love this app because students can add audio, video, images, and text to create an interactive notebook for any subject. The finished product can then export as a pdf, video, or iBook. It is AWESOME!

However, most teachers have Chromebooks or laptops. There is a free online version of Book Creator. Teachers have access to 1 library with up to 40 books for students to create. Book Creator is an excellent option, but you may not have the money to spend to upgrade. Your best bet is to use readily available software.

Here is My Solution

I create all my templates in Keynote for my iPad, so any of the software below would work for digital interactive notebooks:

  • Google Slides/Presentations in Google Drive
  • Book Creator

The districts I work with are Google districts, so creating digital interactive notebooks using Google Slides makes sense. Once your students have Google accounts, use Google Classroom to assign work and have students turn in their creations. Google Classroom allows you to share a template with students or give them assignments to create their notebooks from scratch.

Students can add content to their slides by using the text box to add text, add a URL of a YouTube video, and insert an image or drawing into the interactive notebook. Students can also link to other resources in the presentation of artifacts they make outside their Google Drive. The possibilities are endless!

Thank you, Jen! This is just what I’m looking for! The only thing tripping me up is the fact that we use Google Suite…but not Google Classroom. Schoology is our LMS. Any idea how to assign/turn in outside Classroom, short of opening every student’s individual Google Drive folders?

August 14, 2020 at 12:14 am

We are using Schoology in our schools, too. You just give access of your Google files to Schoology. You can assign work right in Schoology.

Hi Jen, Thank you for all of your inspired wisdom about Digital INBs! I went decided to go digital this year (yay!) but I am struggling to solve one major problem that has come up.

I have tabs on each slide that are linked to the first “page” of that section in the notebook. I also have each student’s DINB linked to my master copy so that I push out updates or activities as we go. But anytime a student updates from my master copy, it deletes the links from the tabs that are on that slide. They say “deleted slide” when they go to use them after an update. Any guidance at all would be greatly appreciated! I am at a total loss.

Thank you!!

How-To Geek

6 ways to create more interactive powerpoint presentations.

Engage your audience with cool, actionable features.

Quick Links

  • Add a QR code
  • Embed Microsoft Forms (Education or Business Only)
  • Embed a Live Web Page
  • Add Links and Menus
  • Add Clickable Images to Give More Info
  • Add a Countdown Timer

We've all been to a presentation where the speaker bores you to death with a mundane PowerPoint presentation. Actually, the speaker could have kept you much more engaged by adding some interactive features to their slideshow. Let's look into some of these options.

1. Add a QR code

Adding a QR code can be particularly useful if you want to direct your audience to an online form, website, or video.

Some websites have in-built ways to create a QR code. For example, on Microsoft Forms , when you click "Collect Responses," you'll see the QR code option via the icon highlighted in the screenshot below. You can either right-click the QR code to copy and paste it into your presentation, or click "Download" to add it to your device gallery to insert the QR code as a picture.

In fact, you can easily add a QR code to take your viewer to any website. On Microsoft Edge, right-click anywhere on a web page where there isn't already a link, and left-click "Create QR Code For This Page."

You can also create QR codes in other browsers, such as Chrome.

You can then copy or download the QR code to use wherever you like in your presentation.

2. Embed Microsoft Forms (Education or Business Only)

If you plan to send your PPT presentation to others—for example, if you're a trainer sending step-by-step instruction presentation, a teacher sending an independent learning task to your students, or a campaigner for your local councilor sending a persuasive PPT to constituents—you might want to embed a quiz, questionnaire, pole, or feedback survey in your presentation.

In PowerPoint, open the "Insert" tab on the ribbon, and in the Forms group, click "Forms". If you cannot see this option, you can add new buttons to the ribbon .

As at April 2024, this feature is only available for those using their work or school account. We're using a Microsoft 365 Personal account in the screenshot below, which is why the Forms icon is grayed out.

Then, a sidebar will appear on the right-hand side of your screen, where you can either choose a form you have already created or opt to craft a new form.

Now, you can share your PPT presentation with others , who can click the fields and submit their responses when they view the presentation.

3. Embed a Live Web Page

You could always screenshot a web page and paste that into your PPT, but that's not a very interactive addition to your presentation. Instead, you can embed a live web page into your PPT so that people with access to your presentation can interact actively with its contents.

To do this, we will need to add an add-in to our PPT account .

Add-ins are not always reliable or secure. Before installing an add-in to your Microsoft account, check that the author is a reputable company, and type the add-in's name into a search engine to read reviews and other users' experiences.

To embed a web page, add the Web Viewer add-in ( this is an add-in created by Microsoft ).

Go to the relevant slide and open the Web Viewer add-in. Then, copy and paste the secure URL into the field box, and remove https:// from the start of the address. In our example, we will add a selector wheel to our slide. Click "Preview" to see a sample of the web page's appearance in your presentation.

This is how ours will look.

When you or someone with access to your presentation views the slideshow, this web page will be live and interactive.

4. Add Links and Menus

As well as moving from one slide to the next through a keyboard action or mouse click, you can create links within your presentation to direct the audience to specific locations.

To create a link, right-click the outline of the clickable object, and click "Link."

In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, click "Place In This Document," choose the landing destination, and click "OK."

What's more, to make it clear that an object is clickable, you can use action buttons. Open the "Insert" tab on the ribbon, click "Shape," and then choose an appropriate action button. Usefully, PPT will automatically prompt you to add a link to these shapes.

You might also want a menu that displays on every slide. Once you have created the menu, add the links using the method outlined above. Then, select all the items, press Ctrl+C (copy), and then use Ctrl+V to paste them in your other slides.

5. Add Clickable Images to Give More Info

Through PowerPoint's animations, you can give your viewer the power to choose what they see and when they see it. This works nicely whether you're planning to send your presentation to others to run through independently or whether you're presenting in front of a group and want your audience to decide which action they want to take.

Start by creating the objects that will be clickable (trigger) and the items that will appear (pop-up).

Then, select all the pop-ups together. When you click "Animations" on the ribbon and choose an appropriate animation for the effect you want to achieve, this will be applied to all objects you have selected.

The next step is to rename the triggers in your presentation. To do this, open the "Home" tab, and in the Editing group, click "Select", and then "Selection Pane."

With the Selection Pane open, select each trigger on your slide individually, and rename them in the Selection Pane, so that they can be easily linked to in the next step.

Finally, go back to the first pop-up. Open the "Animations" tab, and in the Advanced Animation group, click the "Trigger" drop-down arrow. Then, you can set the item to appear when a trigger is clicked in your presentation.

If you want your item to disappear when the trigger is clicked again, select the pop-up, click "Add Animation" in the Advanced Animation group, choose an Exit animation, and follow the same step to link that animation to the trigger button.

6. Add a Countdown Timer

A great way to get your audience to engage with your PPT presentation is to keep them on edge by adding a countdown timer. Whether you're leading a presentation and want to let your audience stop to discuss a topic, or running an online quiz with time-limit questions, having a countdown timer means your audience will keep their eye on your slide throughout.

To do this, you need to animate text boxes or shapes containing your countdown numbers. Choose and format a shape and type the highest number that your countdown clock will need. In our case, we're creating a 10-second timer.

Now, with your shape selected, open the "Animations" tab on the ribbon and click the animation drop-down arrow. Then, in the Exit menu, click "Disappear."

Open the Animation Pane, and click the drop-down arrow next to the animation you've just added. From there, choose "Timing."

Make sure "On Click" is selected in the Start menu, and change the Delay option to "1 second," before clicking "OK."

Then, with this shape still selected, press Ctrl+C (copy), and then Ctrl+V (paste). In the second box, type 9 . With the Animation Pane still open and this second shape selected, click the drop-down arrow and choose "Timing" again. Change the Start option to "After Previous," and make sure the Delay option is 1 second. Then, click "OK."

We can now use this second shape as our template, as when we copy and paste it again, the animations will also duplicate. With this second shape selected, press Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, type 8 into the box, and continue to do the same until you get to 0 .

Next, remove the animations from the "0" box, as you don't want this to disappear. To do this, click the shape, and in the Animation Pane drop-down, click "Remove."

You now need to layer them in order. Right-click the box containing number 1, and click "Bring To Front." You will now see that box on the top. Do the same with the other numbers in ascending order.

Finally, you need to align the objects together. Click anywhere on your slide and press Ctrl+A. Then, in the Home tab on the ribbon, click "Arrange." First click "Align Center," and then bring the menu up again, so that you can click "Align Middle."

Press Ctrl+A again to select your timer, and you can then move your timer or copy and paste it elsewhere.

Create interactive slides with Python in 8 Jupyter Notebook cells

Creating presentations in Jupyter Notebook is a great alternative to manually updating slides in other presentation creation software. If your data changes, you just re-execute the cell and slide chart is updated.

Jupyter Notebook is using Reveal.js (opens in a new tab) for creating slides from cells. The standard approach is to write slides code and Markdown in the Jupyter Notebook. When notebook is ready, it can be exported to standalone HTML file with presentation.

What if, you would like to update slides during the slide show? What is more, it would be fantastic to have interactive widgets in the presentation. You can do this in Mercury framework.

In this tutorial, we will create an interactive presentation in Jupyter Notebook and serve it with Mercury.

Create presentation in notebook

Please enable Slideshow toolbar in Jupyter Notebook. It can be done by clicking View -> Cell Toolbar -> Slideshow . It is presented in the screenshot below:

Enable cell toolbar

We will need following packages to create presentation in Python notebook:

Please make sure that they are installed in your environment.

1. Import packages and App setup

The first step is to import packages and setup Mercury App :

We setup title and description for App object.

Please note that we set Slide Type to Skip . This cell will not appear in the presentation.

2. Add title

The second cell is a Markdown with title:

The Slide Type is set to Slide . It is our first slide!

3. Add slide with Markdown

Add new Markdown cell with the following cell.

Please set Slide Type to Slide . It will be a second slide. I'm using ## as slide title ( # will produce too large title in my opinion).

4. Add Mercury Widget

Please add code cell with Text widget. We will use it, to ask users about their name.

We set Slide Type as Skip , so this cell will not appear in the presentation.

5. Display name

Let's use the name.value in the slide. Please add a code cell. We will display a Markdown text with Python variables by using Markdown function from Mercury package.

Please set the Slide Type to Slide .

You can display Markdown with Python variables by calling mr.Markdown() or mr.Md() functions. Both do the same.

The first five cells of the notebook:

Notebook code for presentation in Jupyter Notebook

You can enter your name in the widget during the notebook development. There will be no change in other cells. If you want to update the cell with new widget value, please execute it manually.

6. More widgets

We can add more widgets to the presentation. They will be used to control chart in the next slide.

We have used Slider and Select widgets. They are displayed in the notebook. This cell will not be displayed in the presentation, so set Slide Type to Skip .

7. Scatter plot

We will add a new code cell. It will have Slide Type set to Slide .

We used widgets values by accessing them with samples.value and color.value .

Screenshot of the notebook with scatter plot:

Notebook code for presentation in Jupyter Notebook

8. Final slide

Please add a last Markdown cell. Its Slide Type will be set to Slide :

Please notice that link is added with HTML syntax. There is a target="_blank" used to open link in a new tab.

Run presentation in Mercury

Please run Mercury local server in the same directory as notebook:

The above command will open a web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000 . Please click on a card with presentation.

You can navigate between slides with arrows in the bottom right corner. You can enter the full screen mode by pressing F on the keyboard. Please use Esc to exit full screen mode.

You can change widgets values in the sidebar and presentation slides will be automatically recomputed:

You can export your slides as PDF or HTML by clicking Download button in the sidebar.

Just $59.95 for a limited time (normally $99.95).

We all have been very well acquainted with the creation of slideshows by using Microsoft PowerPoint for our schools, colleges, or offices in our day-to-day lives. But, have we ever wondered how would it be to create a slideshow through the Jupyter Notebook? The advantages of creating slideshows with Python and Jupyter are its version control capability, dynamicity in the slideshows, easy sharing of codes with others in the groups, and a single presentation document, but the only con with this is that it doesn’t have many themes to apply in the slides, due to which it may look sort of a little plain.

In this article, we will walk through the different methods used for creating interactive slideshows in Jupyter Notebook like through RISE, with Jupyter’s built-in slideshow feature, Jupyter widgets, and ipywidgets and voila and voila-reveal. Also, we will read about the importance of creating interactive slideshows, how to customize our slides in the slideshows, and the processes involved in exporting the slideshow.

Now, coming to the basic query to ask everyone, and which every individual has in their mind is

Why Interactive SlideShow?

Some of the reasons why interactive slideshows are appreciated are mentioned below:

1. It easily helps in capturing audiences’ attention because of its interactive clickable elements, colours, images, videos, etc. making the presentation more memorable.

2. Users can delve further into data visualization s, charts, and graphs in interactive slideshows for data-driven presentations. To acquire deeper insights, they might filter data or zoom in on particular data points.

3. Interactive slideshows possess features like surveys and quizzes to collect feedback and gauge audience comprehension in real-time, which can be useful for training or instructional purposes.

4. Presenters can adapt their information to their audience’s demands by using interactive slideshows. Users can take their own route through the content by concentrating on the subjects that are most interesting or important to them, creating a more individualized experience.

Customizing Slides in Jupyter Notebook

Customizing slides refers to applying uniqueness to the appearance, content, and behaviour of individual slides to meet specific preferences. Similarly, we can also customize our slides in Jupyter Notebook. This can be done by adding metadata to the individual slides in the cells. Metadata is specified in the cell’s metadata tag, present under the “Cell Toolbar” option. From there you can customize the slide according to your own choice (Metadata is here referred to the information about the book, it is used to control the features and behavior of the notebook).

metadata-(1)-(1)

The above image will apply “Edit Metadata” to all the slides.

edit-metadata

You can now add any metadata to customize your slides as shown in the above image.

Exporting SlideShows in Jupyter Notebook

Once you are done with the creation and customization of the slides, you can export your slideshow from the Jupyter Notebook to your local machine. The slides can be exported in different formats such as HTML, PDF, LaTex, Reveal JS, Markdown (md), ReStructured Text (rst) and executable script. After exporting the file, save it in the same folder as that of where your Jupyter Notebook is installed. Finally, you will be able to easily present your slideshow from your local system to the outside world.

You can do so with the help of nbconvert tool. The nbconvert tool, is a Jupyter Notebook tool that converts notebooks to various other formats via Jinja templates. In order to used the nbconvert tool, you need to follow its basic command.

From the Command Line, use nbconvert to convert a Jupyter Notebook (input) to a different format (output). The basic command structure is given below:

where <output format> is the desired format in which the notebook is converted and <input notebook> is the filename of your own Jupyter Notebook which you want to convert.

For example: CONVERT JUPYTERNOTEBOOK SLIDESHOW TO HTML

This command creates an HTML file named as slideshow.ipynb.

Creating Interactive Slideshows in Jupyter Notebook using RISE

Step 1: set up all the requirements.

Installing Python and Jupyter Notebook

In order to start with the slideshows, firstly you need to install Python and Jupyter Notebook, using Anaconda Navigator.

Installing RISE

RISE , is an acronym which stands for Reveal.js IPython/Jupyter Slideshow Extension and as the name suggests RISE is a Jupyter Notebook extension that enables you to create dynamic presentation slides from your Jupyter Notebook. Through RISE, a notebook is rendered as a Reveal.js based slideshow during which you can execute code, display plots or show your audience any actions you would perform inside the notebook itself.

To use rise, first you need to install this. If you are using Anaconda then, use the command

or if you are using Command Prompt then use the command

You won’t be able to interact directly with RISE, instead you will be access it through your Jupyter Notebook.

Step 2: How to Create a SlideShow

Enabling slideshow mode.

To start with the creation of slideshows, you will need to start the Jupyter Notebook and open a new Notebook in it (must do this after installing RISE). Once you’re in the new fresh Notebook, you will need to enable the slideshow. For doing this, follow the following steps given below:

1. Click on the “View” tab in the Jupyter Notebook.

2. A dropdown menu will appear. Hover and select over the “Cell Toolbar” option.

3. Another dropdown appears. Now, select the “Slideshow” option in the “Cell Toolbar” menu.

cell-toolbar

You’ve now enabled the slideshow mode.

Creating the slides with cells

Now, at this point, start working with the cell toolbar present in the dropdown menu.

first-cell

Once, you open the first cell in the Notebook, you’ll observe a “ Slide Type ” option present at the top right corner of the cell. This contains different types options which determines how each slide would fit in the slideshow. Those are:

slide – designates the selected cell as the first of a new slide.

slide

sub-slide – indicates that the selected cell should be the start of a new sub-slide, which appears in a new frame beneath the previous slide.

sub-slide

fragment – denotes that the chosen cell should be added to the previous slide as a build.

fragment

skip – indicates that the selected cell should not be included in the slideshow and should instead be skipped.

skip

notes – indicates that the selected cell should just be the presenter notes.

notes

– – indicates that the selected cell should follow the behavior of the previous cell, which is useful when a markdown cell and a code cell should appear simultaneously.

Step 3: Viewing and Operating the SlideShows

Viewing the slideshow.

The slideshow can be seen directly from the notebook once the slide material has been created using cells for the slideshow.

There are two options to view the slideshow:

1. Using the shortcut ALT + R on Windows to enter and exit into the presentation mode within the notebook.

2. Clicking the “Presentation Mode” button from the notebook (Note that it would only appear if you’ve successfully installed RISE) as present at the right most, shown in the image given below.

toolbar

Once you choose enter into the slideshow presentation mode, a window will open as shown below

Screenshot-2023-10-30-062436

This means the presentation is active now.

Operating the slideshow

Changing the slides.

When you enter in the slideshow window, you will see four different types of arrows in the bottom-right corner for controlling the slides. Although using the keys <- and -> may look attractive, but it can lead to skip of many sub-slides. Instead, its recommended to use SPACE for moving the slides forward and SPACE+SHIFT for moving the slides backward, respectively.

Apart from this, you may also access many other keyboard shortcuts within the slideshow by clicking the question mark (?) in the bottom-left corner.

Running and Editing the code

One of the best features of RISE is that you can update and run code while the presentation is in progress because it operates in a live Python session.

A code cell will show up in the slideshow as editable and runnable if it is identified as a slide, sub-slide, fragment, or -. Here’s an illustration:

Finally, you are done with the slideshow to showcase it to others.

Creating Interactive Slideshow using Jupyter’s built-in Slideshow Features

Until now, we learnt about the different ways of creating interactive slideshows in Jupyter Notebook with the help of RISE. But, there are some other methods too, which can be used for creating slideshows in Jupyter Notebook. One of them is “Jupyter’s built-in slideshow feature”. To create interactive slideshows in Jupyter Notebook with the help of its built-in feature, perform the following steps:

Step 1: Open a New Notebook

To start with, open a new notebook and rename it.

Step 2: Create new Slides

Once you are inside a new fresh notebook, start creating slides as much as you want to add in your slideshow.

Step 3: Enable SlideShow Mode

After you are done with the creation of all the slides, define them as specific slide-type such as “Slide”, “Sub-Slide”, “Fragment”, “Skip”, “Notes”, “Markdown”. Also, enable the slideshow mode through the “Cell Toolbar” in the Notebook toolbar.

Step 4: Run the Notebook for SlideShow

Next, save your notebook and close it. Open the Command Prompt, and run the below mentioned command to see your notebook as a slideshow.

Replace myslideshow.ipynb with your notebook filename. The above command will convert your Jupyter Notebook to a slideshow.

Creating Interactive Slideshow using Jupyter Widgets and IPYwidgets

Ipywidgets, is a python libraray, often termed as Jupyter widgets or simply widgets in short. With this, you can build interactive HTML widgets that will display in your Jupyter Notebook. They are interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements which incorporate user interaction into your code, enhancing the interest and usefulness of your notebooks. They are especially beneficial for activities like data exploration, data analysis, parameter adjustment, and concept demonstration.

There are many different controls available with Jupyter widgets, including buttons, sliders, text input fields, dropdown menus, checkboxes, and more. These features allow for real-time data manipulation and display, parameter changes, and action triggering without the need to run code cells again.

Jupyter widgets or ipywidgets, also helps in building interactive slideshows. You just need to apply the following steps:

Step 1: Install IPYwidgetsINSTALL ‘IPYWIDGETS’

In order to start working with widgets, you need to first install it. For this, you can use Command Prompt or Anaconda.

Step 2: Import the Libraries

In the next step, import the necessary required libraries in your notebook.

Step 3: Create Interactive Widgets

Now, select the type of interactive widget, you want to include in your presentation. For example, here I have used the slider widget.

Here, we can assign the min and max value, step value and the description of the slider.

Step 4: Display the Widgets

This will display the widget which is applied to the slide.

Step 5: Run the SlideShow

Next, when you are done creating the widgets for all the specific slides, turn on the slideshow mode. To do this, go to View -> Cell Toolbar -> Slideshow. Thereafter, use the “Slide Type” dropdown menu in the toolbar to specify how each cell should be treated (e.g., slide, sub-slide, fragment, skip and notes).

Step 6: Start the Slideshow

Finally, start the slideshow by clicking the “Enter/Exit Live Reveal Slideshow” button in the toolbar. Your presentation will begin, and interactive widgets will be functional.

Creating Interactive Slideshow using Voila and Voila-Reveal

Voila is an open-source framework or we can say a web application, with the help of which one can convert Jupyter notebooks into dashboards and interactive online applications. Although it’s primarily responsible for creating web applications, it can also be used to create interactive slideshows for Jupyter notebooks.

On the other hand, Voila-Reveal is just an extension of voila. It allows to convert simple jupyter notebook into a Reveal.js based interactive slideshow.

In order to do so, one can follow the below mentioned steps:

Step 1: Install VOILA

To install voila, you can use Command Prompt

Step 2: Create the Slides

Then, create or open Notebook where you will build the presentation. If you want to customize the slides using Reveal.js features like slide backgrounds, transitions, and themes, then do so by adding appropriate metadata to Markdown cells.

voila2-(1)-(1)

Step 3: Run VOILA

Once you created the slides, close your notebook. Then, in the command prompt, navigate to the path where your notebook is stored.

Replace C:\Users\hp with your folder path.

Then, start to run your notebook in the Command Prompt.

Rename Voila.ipynb with the name of your notebook file.

Once you run your file, voila will start a local server and generate the Reveal.js-based presentation from your notebook. It will provide you with a URL, which is typically something like http://localhost:8866 . Open this URL in a web browser to view your interactive slideshow presentation.

voila-output-(1)-(1)-(1)

NOTE : Voila will convert all the slides in the cells in the notebook to a dashboard.

Gemini 1.5 pro in notebooklm can turn your homework into an interactive podcast.

The tool can now generate spoken dialogue discussions from the information you feed it

  • Discover how Google's Gemini Pro model in NotebookLM can create study guides, FAQs, quizzes, and even spoken dialogue discussions.
  • Experience the interactive and personalized learning experience by connecting physics and basketball through AI-generated examples.
  • Despite some potential limitations, the new features in NotebookLM show that Google is committed to making AI beneficial for all students.

Recent developments in the AI space are really beneficial for students. No, really, I wish tools like ChatGPT and Google's Gemini were around when I was a student. They would have made passing call classes with top grades a breeze. The best AI tools , like Google's NotebookLM , which allows you to upload documents and text to Google's servers and use language models to summarize the materials, can save students hours of time.

In an attempt to upgrade NotebookLM, Google, at its annual Google I/O developer conference, announced that its Gemini 1.5 Pro model is coming to NotebookLM, unlocking new functionalities for the tool.

I tested NotebookLM and saw the promise of something great

The tool now allows you to create a "Notebook guide" from the documents and text you feed it, which is essentially a summary that can generate study guides, FAQs, and even quizzes. However, the main update here is "Audio overview," which can take all the information you feed it as input and create a spoken dialogue discussion from it, benefiting those that learn the best when they listen to information, rather than reading it.

In an example shown on-stage, the tool was able to generate a spoken discussion between two people about physics, specifically force and motion. The presentation also included a demonstration on how the user can join in on the discussion.

You can join the discussion and ask questions!

Josh Woodward, VP at Google Labs, joined the discussion, and asked the tool to give his son Jimmy a "basketball example." The tool quickly jumped in and said, "Hey Jimmy, that's a fantastic idea. Basketball is actually a great way to visualize force and motion," before continuing to break down how physics and basketball are connected.

Google Gemini: Everything you need to know about Google's next-gen multimodal AI

By connecting the dots between basketball and physics, the tool was able to generate a spoken-word and age-appropriate example, making the learning experience a lot more interactive and personalized.

As always, it is not certain that the tool will always work as presented by Google on-stage. It's worth noting that small text on the bottom right of the presentation indicates that the audio was pre-generated. We'd have to try out the feature for ourselves to see if it works as intended. Regardless, bringing Gemini 1.5 Pro to NotebookLM is a welcome addition, and proves that Google is making AI helpful for everyone .

Posted May 14, 2024

At 5:53 PM UTC

Google has announced Gemini’s 1.50 Pro model is coming to its AI-powered note-taking app . Soon, users will be able to create notebook guides out of student notes with summaries, quizzes, and FAQs.

But the real star is the Audio Overviews feature, which can turn the material into an interactive discussion and answer students' questions.
