Presentation FlipChart : http://www.prometheanworld.com/en-us/education/products/software/activinspire A flipchart is how lessons are developed and presented via the ActivStudio software. This software is essential to learning how to utilize the promethean board effectively. This technology is a requirement for this workshop. If participants are not knowledgeable of this software; they will not be successful. Power Point A individual can develop a powerpoint presentation and import this presentation to Activstudio if needed. Although I would not recommend using powerpoint to create a presentation for a beginner; PowerPoint is a tool that can be used that is easier to share with others via dropbox or google docs. Utilizing PowerPoint will require that all multimedia is linked and not embedded to the presentation.
