Follow-on from listen to you tube Post

I have just used www.listentoyoutube.com to extract music for an Inspire flipchart which I shared on Planet!  Very handy!

Continuing my delight with ActivInspire!

I decided today, after communicating with my colleague and friend Mrs P who I co-lead the eLearning team with, that I would prepare our upcoming presentation to our staff in an ActivInspire flipchart. I wanted to use as many of the tools/actions as possible to showcase the possibilities of the software to the staff who might not get the opportunity to attend training sessions. The online training at Promethean Planet is great and I happened across a brilliant site while doing a Google search which has helped me a lot today, however, I hope I get a lot faster at creating flipcharts as this one took me several hours and I'm not quite finished yet! The previous link goes to the magic ink section as this is what I have been wrestling with today! I cannot recommend the ActivInspire program enough it is absolutely brilliant and as an ex-Smartboard user I have quickly switched my alliegence to Inspire! Thanks Promethean! Click here to access excellent support materials. Here is a good blog with ideas for Activ. I would highly recommend downloading the Top Tips pdf.

Here is an introductory videos to help you get started:

ActivInspire, Activboards and Promethean

SO exciting - we have had Activboards installed into 5 classrooms in our school this week. WOW they are amazing, I would like to say a special thanks to Marnie for all her support and ideas since we met at Pt View School last year.

I am having lots of fun experimenting on all the teachers' IWBs as I don't have a class at the moment! I have been figuring out the different tools and basically playing! I found this great blog tonight by chance, while I was trying out the magic ink tool and seeing how to apply the magic ink to a revealer tool in the resource library, and there are lots of links to pdf documents that could be useful. The blog is: Technology Resource Teachers and click here for the ActivInspire links.

Here I am working with room 11 using a flipchart downloaded from Promethean Planet.

On downloading and reading some of the pdf resources from the above site TRTs I found this additional link to a free Foundational Skills course at Promethean Learning.
