SwigertSept19

**__September 19th__**: 1-hour group Promethean Training With a partner, take 30 minutes to learn a new tool (from the list below) & create your own flipchart page or pages. Use content from your current classroom and incorporate this new tool or feature in ActivInspire. Spend the last 30 minutes sharing your flipchart pages and discussing how this tool/feature makes your flipchart more interactive or saves you time. This share time is not about "teaching" the new tool - teachers can visit the online videos on there own - the value is in your discussion.

__//Suggested Online Training videos//__ - Go to ActivTips on Promethean Planet and scroll through the videos to find one of the following topics under the ActiveInspire tab. The last 2 choices are videos from DPS. All videos are about 1-5 minutes long. You do not need to cover ALL of these topics, just choose the tools you are interested in today.


 * Dual User Pen
 * Dual User Paint
 * Drag a Copy
 * Groups and Pulleys
 * Page Templates
 * Handwriting & Shape Recognition Tools
 * Activities & Templates

Notes:
 * 1) If you see other ActivTips you are interested in GREAT! But they are likely to be more advanced than the ones listed above, so please plan to revisit them at another time.
 * 2) Highly recommend listening to ANY **Pen & Touch ActivTip** independently because they focus on the 500 Boards you have at SWIS.
 * 3) Also recommend looking at the "Primary" tab in ActivTips for some helpful hints in the primary classroom - very short 60 second videos.
