4 New Activtips Posted - Camera, Actions, Rotation Point, Customize Screen

[scaulfield]

Just an FYI, 4 new Activtips were posted a few days ago. You can view them on Promethean Planet>Professional Development>Activtips, or if you have subscribed to the podcast through iTunes, they should have updated automatically.

These four Activtips cover;

Camera Tool - How to break up one image into many images on your page - From Mrs. Gerard's Teacher Feature Flipchart
How to Customize your screen in Activstudio 3.0 (PC)
Actions - From Mr. See's Teacher Feature Flipchart
Setting Rotation Point - How to set a rotation point for an object and how you can use this in a lessonAs always your comments are welcome.

I am always looking for more ideas. You can request an idea on the Activtip page on Promethean Planet. I would like to create some Activtips using Activprimary, but I am struggling for ideas, so any thoughts you have would be greatly appricated!

Enjoy!

Thanks for soliciting requests. Here's mine :-):

Google Earth resources for Activstudio.

For me, specifically want to provide some training to Social Studies department on Activote discussion prompts, activslate activities while also showing how to make use of Google Earth resources for middle school Social Studies lessons.

Thanks,
Barbara

Barbara,

Thanks for the input. Right now, I normally focus the Activtips on the Activstudio/Activprimary software. There are some great ways to use Google Earth with the Activboard. Have you had an offical training session or a visit from your TLC?

The ACTIVtips podcast is a great idea! I don't tend to look at the US site very often, but I've now subscribed to the tips so I look forward to viewing them...

Laura,

That is the great thing about subscribing to them via iTunes, is you don't have to worry about checking back on the site. It does it for you!

I hope you enjoy them and I look forward to hearing your comments.

Thanks!

Scott,

I think it is great to use the Teacher Feature flipchart techniques as Activtips. It really shows how Promethean users can collaborate all across the world.

Keep up the good work!

Kathy,

Happy to hear that you like the Activtips on the Teacher Feature. You see so many great things in the Teacher Feature flips (Like the Fractionator), that they are great material for Activtips.

Thanks. Hope things are going well in the Northwest!
