Scroll down / over feature

Just an FYI for a great tip... I already knew that through changing the SCALE on the page, a teacher could zoom in or out and be able to scroll up or down, or right or left to be able to fit more on one page. This is something that math teachers often want to be able to do in upper grades so that they don't have to change the page in order to continue with the same math problem. However - there is something that I figured out how to do today from a tip that Lori Alcala gave... if you want to be able to scroll and scroll and scroll...

Click on FLIPCHART, then NEW
click on CUSTOM
Move the sliding scale how many frames you want to go to the right or down.

So for math teachers who want to be able to keep scrolling down, keep your frame to the right/left selected at one frame, and add more frames to the up/down selection.

Pretty great, huh? Who'd have thunk it was possible? :D

Great tip! This would be a great one to add to the Activtips podcasts on Planet. [clap]

Great idea. I was often upset when I first changed over from the Smartboard, but it is nice to know this option is available now.

I just showed this idea, along with changing the page properties to make the sheet longer, to the teachers in my building. They LOVED it!

Very cool tip. I agree this would be a good Activtip, and I will work on it. But, as you find ideas like this, please fill out the "Activtip Request Form" so we know what tips to make into podcasts next!

thank you this has been driving me mad. i'm a calculus teacher and i've used a smart product for two years and have been trying to figure this out on promethean. wow.
