FACTS
 
TO
 
KNOW
 
ABOUT
 
FLIPCHARTS
 
AND
 
ACTIVSTUDIO
 
SOFTWARE
 
BEFORE
 
YOU
 
BEGIN:
 
What
 
is
 
a
 
flipchart?
‐
If 
 
you
 
are
 
familiar
 
with
 
PowerPoint
 
software,
 
think
 
of 
 
each
 
“page”
 
of 
 
a
 
flipchart
 
being
 
equal
 
to
 
a
 
blank
 
“slide”
 
in
 
a
 
PowerPoint
 
presentation.
 
A
 
flipchart
 
can
 
be
 
a
 
blank
 
white
 
board
 
where
 
you
 
write
 
notes,
 
lessons,
 
instructions,
 
etc.,
 
while
 
teaching,
 
or
 
it
 
can
 
be
 
a
 
presentation
 
like
 
a
 
PowerPoint.
 
The
 
difference
 
between
 
PowerPoint
 
presentations
 
and
 
flipcharts
 
is
 
that
 
a
 
flipchart
 
can
 
be
 
created
 
to
 
promote
 
and
 
increase
 
student
 
participation
 
at
 
the
 
ActivBoard.
 
A
 
flipchart
 
can
 
be
 
interactive.
 
What
 
are
 
layers?
 
 –
 
When
 
you
 
create
 
a
 
flipchart
 
using
 
the
 
ActivStudio
 
software,
 
everything
 
you
 
add
 
to
 
your
 
presentation
 
(and
 
which
 
later
 
appears
 
on
 
your
 
ActivBoard)
 
is
 
added
 
in
 
layers.
 
The
 
ActivBoard
 
has
 
three
 
layers
 
 –
 
top,
 
middle,
 
and
 
bottom.
 
By
 
default,
 
certain
 
items
 
always
 
appear
 
on
 
certain
 
layers.
 
You
 
can
 
modify
 
where
 
items
 
appear
 
to
 
create
 
different
 
effects
 
in
 
your
 
flipchart.
 
Annotations
 
appear
 
on
 
the
 
top
 
layer.
 
Annotations
 
include
 
any
 
notes
 
written
 
with
 
the
 
ActivPen
 
or
 
highlighter.
 
Eraser
 
marks
 
from
 
the
 
Eraser
 
tool
 
also
 
appear
 
on
 
the
 
top
 
layer.
 
Images
 
and
 
text
 
(typed)
 
appear
 
on
 
the
 
middle
 
layer.
 
Background
 
colors
 
and
 
background
 
images
 
appear
 
on
 
the
 
lowest
 
level
 
of 
 
the
 
bottom
 
layer.
 
These
 
are
 
fixed
 
and
 
usually
 
cannot
 
be
 
moved
 
or
 
edited.
 
Do
 
I
 
have
 
to
 
be
 
at
 
the
 
ActivBoard
 
to
 
create
 
a
 
flipchart?
 
 –
 
No.
 
You
 
can
 
use
 
almost
 
every
 
function
 
of 
 
the
 
ActivStudio
 
software
 
from
 
your
 
laptop.
 
Can
 
I
 
make
 
a
 
flipchart
 
at
 
home?
 
 –
 
Yes,
 
but
 
you
 
need
 
to
 
set
 
up
 
your
 
laptop
 
BEFORE
 
you
 
leave
 
school
 
for
 
the
 
day
 
to
 
work
 
in
 
the
 
ActivStudio
 
software
 
at
 
home.
 
Because
 
the
 
software
 
is
 
set
 
up
 
to
 
look
 
for
 
certain
 
program
 
files
 
on
 
the
 
wireless
 
network,
 
if 
 
you
 
open
 
the
 
software
 
at
 
home,
 
it
 
will
 
not
 
work.
 
To
 
“ready”
 
your
 
laptop,
 
follow
 
the
 
instructions
 
below:
 
AT
 
SCHOOL:
 
Make
 
sure
 
you
 
have
 
enough
 
battery
 
charge
 
to
 
last
 
until
 
you
 
get
 
your
 
laptop
 
home
 
and
 
plug
 
it
 
in.
 
You
 
will
 
NOT
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
access
 
any
 
files
 
from
 
the
 
wireless
 
network
 
folder,
 
so
 
make
 
sure
 
any
 
flipchart,
 
image,
 
or
 
sound
 
files
 
are
 
on
 
a
 
flash
 
drive
 
to
 
take
 
home
 
with
 
you.
 
1.
 
Open
 
the
 
ActivStudio
 
software.
 
You
 
can
 
close
 
the
 
dashboard,
 
but
 
make
 
sure
 
the
 
main
 
toolbox
 
is
 
open,
 
and
 
the
 
software
 
is
 
in
 
design
 
mode
 
(the
 
main
 
toolbox,
 
dashboard
 
and
 
design
 
mode
 
are
 
explained
 
on
 
pages
 
6
 
and
 
7
 
).
