Printing and worksheets are free and available for use by educators, parents and others who work to support students in home and school settings. For practicing: Consider placing a worksheet in a clear protective sheet cover and using it with a wipe off pen for repeated practices. For use on devices, consider taking a screenshot of the page to use as a background for writing and/or drawing apps or to print out particular sections in a larger format!
This six-minute YouTube video provides a nice overview showing how to use the basic features of ActivInspire software for the Promethean interactive whiteboard, including setting up a new flipchart; adding, editing, and formatting text; using the pen tool to add annotations and highlighting; and more.

For the past several years, new teachers joining the Bartholomew (Ind.) Consolidated School Corporation have been encouraged to watch a video introducing the preferred method of teaching in the district. Rather than highlighting a single approach, however, the video is all about encouraging teachers to use varied ways and materials to present new information and to assess learning, be it aurally through talking iPads, visually through doodles on whiteboards, creatively through art projects and games, or by using old-fashioned pen and paper. That's because the preferred method of teaching in Bartholomew County is UDL, or Universal Design for Learning.
