TIPS and Tricks

Color Code your Pages


Use set page colors for certain tasks. Students
now know that a blue screen with yellow writing means
homework.



Organize your students into Groups 

Stack the names (each one created individually) of all
the members of a class and then drag the whole group into a
folder in My Resources When groups need to be made this
is really handy.

Take Students Pictures
Take pictures of their students, edit them in to a

thumbnail size and add them to their Resource Library.
Students start using the board by dragging their picture to
a folder in My Resources.


 Idea for using the clock tool and tickertapes at the start of a lesson

Use the count down clock and tickertape
together to assign a warm up activity for the class.
 The problems are posted on the Activboard with
directions across the top of the screen as a tickertape. The
clock counts down to mark the end of the warm up time. It
is a great way to have students come in and engage in the
lesson.


Kids love seeing themselves on  flipchart pages
Create a folder of ‘portrait’ type photos of the kids
somewhere in your Resource Library. You can easily pop
them on the page and add thought or speech bubbles.

Turn PDFs into Interactive Lessons

Turn any worksheet into an Interactive Lesson.  Scan your worksheet using the copy machine and import it into Activinspire.  With the new textbooks many of you already have digital copies of activities that can be easily imported into Activinspire.
