TCC 5-5 Classroom Tech Infusion Classflow/ActivInspire Merge Tutorials

Promethean is improving Classflow...it will look different.  Since our Tech Cluster (Florence School District 3 PD) emphasis featured using it with ActivInspire 2.0 this isn’t too stressful. 
For those entusiasts who wanted to deeper look at what that Classflow/ActivInspire 2.0 combo would do here are some tutorials that will add to what we looked at in March:
How to use the Classflow teacher remote. I was not aware when we started that the remote worked with the software, also. I mentioned it to some, but assumed it was for Classflow. Woo Hoo...it works with the software, too.The app is available for Android, Apple, and Windows devices. A reason for either allowing some teacher phone use, data financing for personal phone use, or providing handhelds for teachers.
How to connect tablets & computers. This tutorial give you the information we talked about quickly during the introduction. It also mentions where to get the student app for those with tablets.


How to share flipchart pages using Classflow. This is a more in depth look at the process for sharing pages to student devices. A clarification here says that the page remains on the student device even when you move to another page or close out. You would be able to look at more details about what you sent them without removing it from their machines.
How to deliver questions to students’ devices. This tutorial repeats our practice using the ad hoc questioning button, but it also reminds us that we can still use the Activotes and ActivExpressions as part/all of our devices. They need a hub and are registered in the regular way.
If you are going to watch all of these there is a
playlist which will play them all in order.
For those of you with an itch to get started online with Classflow. The playlist for these videos is in the version now up and will show up after the changes after April 25th if you want to wait. The features will be the same with some additions, but the look will change. If you began working already your content is safe.
As always,
enjoy!
