Promethean ActivPanel – Discover Other Creative Usages (Self-Paced Online Course) 

Are you teaching a course at SSC and your classroom has the Promethean ActivPanel Board?  Are you looking for some exciting ways to increase engagement for your students?  Sign up for this 30-minute, online self-paced course demonstrating various scenarios that you can use in your physical classroom:  

• Scenario #1: Covers how to turn your existing resources into engaging lessons, mark up the content, export as a pdf.  You can then post this pdf to D2L.  
• Scenario #2: Build lessons using the built-in templates. The Promethean ActivPanel board has several templates that instructors can easily find under the insert image option.  These templates include a Periodic Table, Mindmaps, Fraction Equivalence Strip, T-Chart, Circle Fraction, Geoboards, just to name a few. 
• Scenario #3: Multi-User Races.  Use the built-in timer and alphabet spinner to have two students race to brainstorm words or ideas.  
• Scenario #4: Rub and Reveal.  Upload any image and label certain areas of the image.  An example is parts of the human brain.  Create a white shape to cover the labels.  As you teach, reveal the labels by simply erasing the white shape that covered the labels.  
• Scenario #4: Build a Story. Upload several images or open up Chromium to capture images from the internet.  Showcase those images on the whiteboard. Use the spinner with creative words.  Have students build a story based on the images and the words the spinner landed upon.  
• Scenario #5: Science Lab. Upload scientific images and have students come up to the board circle certain parts based on your question you ask in class.   
• Scenario #6: Guess Who. Upload a certain image and have students guess who it is by sliding the revealing answer.  
• Scenario #7: Scavenger Hunt. Use the spinner tool to add certain words.  After the spinner lands on certain words, have the students search the internet for images on a laptop they are using in class. Have students share their screens with the Promethean screen sharing tool to share their findings. 
• Scenario #8: Hundreds Plus.  Select the Hundreds Plus template (part of the many templates preloaded).   Enable multi-user mode.  Add the timer and spinner to have students circle values. Clear all annotations to begin the process with new values from the spinner tool.
