ActivInspire is a software application that allows you to create and deliver engaging and interactive lessons on your Promethean interactive whiteboard. You can use ActivInspire to create flipcharts, which are digital presentations that can include text, images, audio, video, animations, and interactive activities. You can also use ActivInspire to access the Promethean Resource Library and the ClassFlow marketplace, where you can find and download thousands of ready-made flipcharts and other resources created by teachers and experts from around the world.
If you don't have ActivInspire installed on your computer, you can download it for free from the Promethean website. You will need a Promethean account to download and activate the software. If you don't have a Promethean account, you can create one for free. Once you have downloaded and installed ActivInspire, you can launch it from your desktop or start menu. You will see the ActivInspire Dashboard, which gives you access to various features and tools, such as creating a new flipchart, opening an existing flipchart, browsing the Resource Library, and more.
The Resource Library is a collection of flipcharts and other resources that you can use in your lessons. You can access the Resource Library from the ActivInspire Dashboard by clicking on the link or by logging in to your Promethean account. You will see a list of categories and subcategories that you can browse or search by keywords. For example, if you want to find lined paper backgrounds, you can type "lined paper" in the search box and hit enter. You will see a list of results that match your query. You can preview each result by clicking on it. You can also filter the results by grade level, subject, language, and more.
Once you have found a lined paper background that you like, you can download it to your computer by clicking on the download button. You will need to save the file in a folder where you can easily find it later. To use the lined paper background in your flipchart, you need to import it as an image. To do this, open ActivInspire and create a new flipchart or open an existing one. Then, go to the Insert menu and choose Image. A window will pop up where you can browse your computer and select the lined paper background file that you downloaded. Click Open and the image will be inserted into your flipchart page. You can resize and position the image as you like using the handles around it.
If you want to change the grid size or color of your lined paper backgrounds, you can use the Grid Designer tool in ActivInspire. To access the Grid Designer tool, right-click on your flipchart page and choose Grid Designer. A window will pop up where you can adjust various settings for your grid. For example, you can change the direction of the grid lines (X only, Y only, or both), the grid style (square or 45 degree), the angle of the grid lines (in degrees), the spacing between the grid lines (in pixels), and the color of the grid lines (by clicking on the box next to World Colour). You can also choose whether to allow snap or not. This means that objects that you move on the page will align themselves to the nearest grid line or corner. This is useful for drawing shapes or diagrams that match the size of the grid squares. When you are happy with your settings, click Close and your grid will be updated.
