Making an Anagram Starter in Activ Inspire

Posted on Mar 2, 2009 in Activity Ideas, Interactive Whiteboards, Promethean, Tutorials and Guides | 0 comments

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to create a simple lesson starter activity with ActivSoftware Inspire edition.

If you want the countdown theme tune, you can get it here.

A quick and easy way of making your own anagrams is by using the Wordsmith.org website.

As an alternative, you could just use a 30 second countdown clock, but I like having it play the music

This is my first guide produced using ScreenSteps.com. I’ve downloaded the trial version. It does make producing these guides a little slicker, but I do like to have a little more control over how my documents look. I think I need to play a little more with templates. It’s well worth downloading the trial version though, and see what you make of it.

With the release of the new ActivSoftware Inspire software for Promethean users, I’ve updated my Toolbar guides to reflect the new versions. I’ll produce some more useful step by step tutorials soon, but for now, I hope these two files are useful.

Print these off (and laminate) and stick on the wall next to your board
