:pI want to congratulate the Promethean team for their excellent work on creating the online courses for teachers - especially the free ones. I enrolled for the ActivStudio Foundation Skills course and have passed - YAY!
I found it really easy to enrol, participate (in my own time) and learn the necessary skills for using ActivStudio.
I particularly found it useful when I made an error in the test to go back to the relevant part of the online tutorial and redo it before going back to the test again. This was a very useful and effective feature of the online tutorial. Also, the steps were clearly explained and demonstrated - I had my laptop open on my lap whilst doing the online tutorial on my desk top computer - this allowed me to do the tutorial and then practise the skills straight away on my laptop - this made it more meaningful, practical and effective.
Now that I have upgraded to ActivInspire I have enrolled in the course again and may plan to do the $30 one in the holidays so that I am ready to start when school goes back in Jan/Feb 2010.
Thanks everyone. Keep up the excellent work! [clap]
