More buttons

[mackinj]

Is there a resource that has many different styles of buttons that I can put into a flipchart?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but you may want to try the Action Objects Resource Pack.

http://www.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=ConResource.11342

This resource pack contains over 90 “action objects” that you can use to make your flipcharts easier to use and more interactive for you and your students. Action objects are images/icons that perform an specific action when you click on them such as “go to next page,” “switch to pen tool,” and “show page notes.”

The resource pack is organized into several folders including: “Drawing tools” (including erasers), “Icons by theme” (including shiny, blue and yellow themed icons), “Special tools” (like compass, protractor, dice), “Page Notes” (icons that will show your page notes) and “To Make Yourself” (fun icons that you can program yourself.) Additionally, we have provided a flipchart called “Action Objects.flp” that you can open and explore, that will show many of these action objects” in action” and explain how to make and edit them.

I'm not sure if this is what Mackinj meant Lisa, but I would love a resource pack with buttons that you can customize and then click on to make things appear, put next to a piece of text etc. I'm not explaining it very well - but I'm thinking shiny silver round ones, green glass ones etc - the kind that you can make in Macromedia.

Ok, then try this site:

It has a great option for creating buttons with labels with a variety of font and different shapes. (Choose button from the top.)

I will attach an example.

You can put it on your flipchart page, (make the background transparent) and then add it to your resource library by opening your library and dragging it in!
