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.
