I cannot find the whereabouts of the Shared Flipcharts folder, where would it likely be stored?

Hi Jim,

I personally don't know the answer, but I have posted your question in a new group on Planet called TIME (Technology in Maths Education). It is for math teachers and there are several interesting discussions going on over there. You can join this group by clicking here.

Forum Post: Re: Jeopardy game

Adrienne Phillips — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 18:48:00 GMT

Hi Sandy -

Jeopardy games are great for reviewing concepts and students always love them, but they can be a little tricky to create. Most templates are made using the "Another page action" in ActivInspire. However, you might find it faster and easier to modify some of the already created Jeopardy games and templates on site. Here is a link to for all the jeopardy games and templates we have on Planet: www.prometheanplanet.com/.../english

Hope this helps!

Forum Post: Re: Arabic Interactive Content

Adrienne Phillips — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:58:00 GMT

I think the best way for you to find the resources you need is by using the "advanced search" option on the site.

Take a look at the main search located just below the main site navigation, to the right of the search button, you will see a link titled "Advanced Search"

Click on the Advanced Search link. Doing this will open up a search window that lists a lot of different filters. Click on the tab with the number 4 and titled Country & Language

From here, just select the country and/or language you want and click search.

Hi Hilary -

The older resources are included in the "More by this Author" link, however, if a Planet member has only shared one lesson/resource with Planet, then there will not be a more by this author link.

Forum Post: Re: Missing Flipcharts

Adrienne Phillips — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:45:00 GMT

The team is still investigating....

I am going to send you a friend request with my email address. I would like to get you on the phone and talk through what is happening when you submit a resource. Would that be ok?

Forum Post: Re: thermometer

Adrienne Phillips — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:03:00 GMT

Hi there -- Are you talking about a thermometer inside the resource browser for ActivInspire?

Hilary,

Can you be more specific about what you mean by "mine doesn't even work for the first question"?

Hi Adrienne,

Thank you so much for your feedback. I've already scheduled a couple conferences with the parents for after break and they seem very excited.

Thanks again!

Adrienne Phillips — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 15:36:00 GMT

Christi - As Joe stated, your flipchart is now included when you perform a keyword search for "qs2011a". Please let us know if you cannot see it in the search results page.

@Hilary - Yes, sometimes it does take a little while for your resource to display on Planet. Most times we can post the submitted resources within 48 - 72 hours, but unfortunately sometimes it is longer. You are correct though, if ever you have a question about where your resource is on Planet, you can certainly post your question inside the Planet Guide forum and a member of the Planet team will help you out.

Best,

Adrienne

Great advice! You just have to dive right in! And remember, if you are not sure about something, just ask in the community! :-)

Forum Post: Re: Typing accent marks in Spanish or French

Hilary Smith — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:03:00 GMT

Good question. I've been wondering if that's possible. I'm not sure if it is... I always use the on-screen keyboard. If you find an answer, please let me know!

Forum Post: Re: Charging $ for flipcharts

Hilary Smith — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 22:45:00 GMT

I always go for the free ones. All of my flipcharts are free in case you're interested.

I have some on Afghanistan, Classification, Spanish, Stem and Leaf Plots, Fairy Tales and many more!

Hi there! First off, welcome aboard, and great job taking the online professional development courses!

Alright -- to switch from ActivPrimary to ActivStudio can be tricky if you don't know what you are actually looking for, First you need to View your Dashboard. To do this, go to ActivInspire > View > Dashboard

Once the Dashboard pops up, Click on Configure

From here, you will see a small check box that says: Launch next time using Primary look and feel

Check this box if you want to use the Primary look and feel, and uncheck it if you don't.

The catch is, in order for these changes to be applied, you must close ActivInspire and reopen it.

Hope this helps!
