Thank you so much for recently attending ActivInspire Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced training.  We know there was a lot to absorb, and wanted to provide  you with a few tips and references as you get started!

Remember:

•         Baby wipes are the best way to clean your board

·         Do NOT use markers or anything abrasive on your board (dry erase marker, or otherwise.)

·         The CITS on your campus would love to provide training for you as an individual or for your entire team!  To schedule additional training during your conference period, just contact your CITS directly or email cits@lcisd.org

Once you’ve created an account (it’s free), you’ll be able to download flipcharts and resource packs that other teachers have created.  Working with flipcharts that other teachers have made is a great way to get your feet wet using ActivInspire.  Be sure to check out any notes they’ve created in order to see what the teacher/student is expected to do on that page.  (see image below to learn how to access page notes.)
