Using the gesture wheel - Promethean Planet Forums
www.prometheanplanet.com/common/html/vb_forum/show...
Re: Using the gesture wheel

I liked this idea for using the Gesture tools, inspired by Dug... use the Gesture tools for a quick way to insert a new page after your current page when you need to give something further explanation in a lesson.

Here's how:
1. Click on the Main Menu button
2. Select Studio Settings. (Activstudio Settings box opens)
3. Click Gesture Wheel.
4. Tick Enable Gestures.
5. Select a Gesture in the Gesture list.
6. Scroll down the Action list and select New Page After Current Page.
7. Click OK and your gesture should be set up...!

Default Re: Share Flipchart over WAN

I use elluminate to communicate with a student of mine 3 days a week while he is at dialysis. What others have said is true, elluminate does allow users on both ends to work on the flipchart cooperatively. Infact just this morning my student was writing a letter on the board from 30 miles away and I was able to edit and make corrections on his letter. He was then able to create a picture using the drawing tools and images from the library to go along with it.

If you decide to give elluminate a try, I would be more than willing to give you a few pointers of what I have learned about making it work most effectively, how to share applications and such. I would even doa trial run with you if you wanted. Just let me know. Good luck!!!

combining flipcharts - Promethean Planet Forums

Let me elaborate on the Arrange one.
  1. Open up both flipcharts.
  2. Click on the A for arrange which on a PC is on th bottom left of the flipchart screen on a PC.
  3. This will pop up a choice and I use the choice to allow me to see them one displayed on top of each other.
  4. Then, for each flipchart, click on the Page Organizer icon (on the side toolbar)
  5. You should then see each flipchart as a series of thumbnails.
  6. Drag the thumbnails from one flipchart into the other.
  7. Arrange them in the order you want.
  8. Go out of Page Organizer view by clicking again on the Page Organizer Icon.
  9. Select the arrange pop-up to show the page full screen again (by selecting the whole grid.
  10. Save your flipchart. (you could do this after adding the page.)

you tube videos - Promethean Planet Forums
www.prometheanplanet.com/common/html/vb_forum/show...
YouTube videos are Flash Video files and have a FLV extension. As mentioned in this thread and other threads in the forum there is a lot of freeware out there that enables you to capture and convert YouTube videos. (Use the Forum "Search" from the Menu bar above and type in "YouTube")
The flipchart hosts several movie formats, but two of the most common are Quicktime (.MOV) and .AVI
Note: Both these file types make the movie much larger (in terms of file size) than the original FLV format.

One cheap and easy way to make sure your Activboard is safe over the summer. Go buy a cheap white Full or Queen size sheet. Then use it to cover up your board. You can even write on the sheet "Do not remove or write on this board".   If you get the "fitted" type sheet, they have built in "grippers" to stay put!

Concerning the white area around the images:
  • There is an option when you double click on any image called Properties. Then you will see "appearance."
  • If you click on Appearance you can then choose to have a specific color in that image to be transparent. (The white area for example.) If you use the "eyedropper tool" there you can select the specific part of that image that you would like that color to be transparent. (Careful if the image itself contains alot of white, too.)
  • Once you get it the way you want, you can drag it back into the library where you go it and it should keep the new properties you had set and if you retain the original name, it should replace the one that was there at the beginning.

I can see it would be useful to have different inputs available at the click of a button and an easy way to manage and save inputs, as well as a stright forward way of just typing them in. So the version attached has 10 presets to load in, each of which can be quickly edited and saved by clicking, editing and then saving the embeded text file. The text files can also be dragged off the screen or made transparent if necessary.

I've got notepad set as my default editor for .txt files and in settings I haven't got the text option ticked in my linked file hosting options - so this means I can edit directly in notepad and use - file - save, to update the text files used. Hope that's clear.

Embedding Video Files - Promethean Planet Forums
www.prometheanplanet.com/common/html/vb_forum/show...
 
 
Teacher Tube Videos are .FLV format... so will not immediately embed. There are a few free FLV players that you can use to make them play.

e.g. http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/flv-player/

Some sites will convert an .FLV file to a flipchart embeddable format such as .MPEG or .MOV

e.g. http://www.zamzar.com/


I have been very successful embedding teacher tube videos into website and blogs and linking to those from a flipchart. You will see the embed options for web pages and blogs near the bottom right of a TeacherTube page.

That way - you could keep a blog that your students can access with the video files.. and you can link to them in class and better still THEY can access them and see your notes and make comments at home - all without ads.

Free blog tools include edublogs & blogger
page from flip to new flip - Promethean Planet Forums
www.prometheanplanet.com/common/html/vb_forum/show...
Re: page from flip to new flip

Hi Debbie,
I do this all the time and a quick way that I do it is put the flipcharts side by side. View both flips in their page organizers and drag whichever page I need into the other flipcharts organizer. It will ask you whether you want to move or copy the page. All the interactions follow along with it. Although if you have links set up to go to new pages in the flip, you may need to reset them. But everything else should still work. You could also go into the Flipchart builder, but I find side by side flips and dragging between windows is easy. I hope this is what you meant.

 ideas for using ActiVotes
How to disconnect downloaded actions from their object? - Promethean Planet Forums
www.prometheanplanet.com/common/html/vb_forum/show...
Save the flipchart file that contains the object(s) that have the sound files attached with a new name, say TEMP.FLP. Now rename that file as, .. "TEMPZIP".
If you now double click TEMP.ZIP you should see all the files the flipchart contained. Your sound file(s) should be there, as for example; mysoundfile.wav or mysoundfile.mp3. If you extract those sound files then you can save them seperately.

The chlass don't know whose voice will be produced when they get the answer correct and it has made them even more attentive when doing number work.

apply the action "toolbox rollup" on an object or text.

If you want to keep the object invisible you can do that also.

So after you create an object anywhere on the flipchart....go to actions and assign it an Activstudio action, specifically "toolbox rollup".
Then make the object invisible if you like.
Now you can roll up the toolbox by tapping on the invisible object.
Of course your pen will indicate that there is an action assigned to the invisible object.

submitting flipcharts - Page 2 - Promethean Planet Forums
www.prometheanplanet.com/common/html/vb_forum/show...
Re: submitting flipcharts

Here are some suggestions for flipcharts you submit to Promethean:
  1. No copyrighted material. Promethean will not "validate" a flipchart that obviously is using copyrighted materials.
  2. An interesting title page. So folks know what it is about and are intrigued to open and use it.
  3. Lesson objectives. Use page notes on front page to explain your objectives and lesson overview. So it can be correlated to state standards.
  4. Explain the interaction. Use page notes on other pages to explain the interaction planned for each page. So others understand what you have in mind.
  5. Double-check spelling and grammar.
  6. No presentations. Try to make your lesson as interactive as possible, not just a set of slides.
  7. Student involvement. And probably most important... have plenty of activities that the students can participate in...from as simple as filling in a "blank" to ordering objects to questions using the Activote.
  8. Classroom test it. Try it with students to see how the lesson goes!
  9. Cite your sources.
  10. Try to use standard fonts...like Arial so that when others download, it will still look nice. If you use a font others don't have, your text may get jumbled.
You may want to check out two areas of Promethean Planet that have good example flipcharts.

Converting sounds so they open in ActivStudio - Page 2 - Promethean Planet Forums
www.prometheanplanet.com/common/html/vb_forum/show...
Re: Converting sounds so they open in ActivStudio

Ideally when you want to link to your own sound recordings in this way you would have set the sound recording settings to save the save sound to a file, or use the both setting, so the sound is added to the page as well as saved as a file.

This can be done by going into settings, selecting recordings and then checking the appropriate box under sound recordings.

If you still want to link to that sound file that is only saved on the flipchart page, then I suggest you extract it by opeinng the flipchart with a zip program and then saving sound file (probably called speech1.wav) to a folder and then linking in the normal way.

When you drag the flipchart sound icon into your library the program gives it an as2 file ext name which means it's no longer recognised as a sound file - hence the need for saving as a sound file as outlined above.
animation?? - Promethean Planet Forums
www.prometheanplanet.com/common/html/vb_forum/show...
Re: animation??

In AS V3.. Right Click the page and Choose Insert > Other File Link

Copy and paste will not work.

Browse to your lovely GIF and you will then get options for Placeholder (yes) and "loop" (yes) Start Automatically (yes) you can also choose to have a controller and embed the file (useful if planning to share it)

We are effectively treating a GIF as a movie/animation... so teachers can do more with GIFs that they could usually.

Translucency - Page 2 - Promethean Planet Forums
www.prometheanplanet.com/common/html/vb_forum/show...
The translucency tool is great for map work too. When training I impose a map of the local area over the satellite image (usually from Google maps) the use the Translucency slide tool. Note that because of the way the camera tool works, the area selected will always be identical to the last are selected so switching form map mode to satellite image mode and snapshotting both is easy. The camera tool will also place each image directly on top of each other so there's no fiddling around.

A new Flipchart Ticker - Promethean Planet Forums
www.prometheanplanet.com/common/html/vb_forum/show...
customize the flipchart ticker to your need. ( For some reason I have not been able to view the ticker on a Mac platform).

-First download the flipchart.
-Rename the file as ticker.zip
-Then using the unzip program, unzip the renamed zipped file
-This will create a folder called ticker.
-Inside this folder you will see many files....a flash.swf file, config.xml, several image files.
-Open the config.xml file with Notepad.
-You will scripts on this file. Follow the script logic and you will soon recognize the text that appears in the ticker. Change the text to your liking.
-Make sure you do not change any syntax, otherwise it will break.
-replace the image files with your files.
-edit the image file path to match your image file names.

Now open the flipchart file. you should see the flipchart ticker now just the way you made it.
-make sure that the flipchart file is in the same folder as all the other files.

dont hesitate to ask for help if you get stuck.

Re: New Spell check

Can we edit the word list? I added a word, and did not mean to.

You can open up the Dictbr.tlx file in the lex folder of your Activ software in program files and edit with notepad or similar and delete words that have been inadvertedly added to the dictionary. Save the Dictbr file and restart the software to effect the changes.

Please note - Vista users - for some obscure reason Vista can't see the Dictbr.tlx file.
Dictbr.tlx is for British English, if you are US the the file would probably be Dictam.tlx - Actually I'm guessing here because I'm using Vista and can't see it

Re: How do I add a scroll bar to a flip chart page?

Theres a scroll bar on there already on the bottom of the right hand side. You need to change the page length, double click on the screen and choose properties, select position and change page length to 2000 or however long you want it.


You can also set long pages as default Orange Man - Studio settings - fliphart
