Classroom Resources for use with Promethean ActivInspre (or, in many cases, its predecessor ActivPrimary): As part of our CBI Project, the teachers in the Project created a number of files. Since the Project ended, teachers continue to develop and share files. These files are for classroom, non-commercial use; please respect the teachers' copyright. A resource can take two hours to produce: if you use more than one of these resources, I insist(!) that you create and share your own resource(s): please email these to davidk@ict4schools.ie ....Ní neart go cur le chéile :-)

Note that you must have Promethean software installed on your computer in order to read these files...you can download Promethean ActivInspire (the 'Personal Edition' is free) from http://www.prometheanplanet.com/en/Support/ProductPage.aspx?product=22
...you will be asked to agree to the 'terms and conditions' and then you should choose the version of the software you require. You will also need to register on the site (this last part is useful in that it will give you access to the Promethean Planet resources as well as the software). SMART Notebook and Mimio Studio (and perhaps others) can also 'read' these Promethean files (.flp in the case of SMART and .flipchart in the case of MimioStudio). Note that you do not need to register on this CBIproject website in order to access our resources.
