First Experience with Flipchart


For the past week, we have been working with a software called Activinspire to design flipcharts for interactive lessons/activities. Having never worked with Activinspire before, I found it quite similar to PowerPoint but with some different "animation" tricks.

I did my flipchart on conic sections (algebra 2) since I thought Activinspire is a good tool for graphing-related topics (see my flipchart). I was pleased that the resource pack had graphing backgrounds and that the pull tag was great in revealing answers to graphing exercises. Working with containers was a bit tricky because it took a few tries to realize that the object to be contained in the container must be small enough to completely fit in the container, or else the container will reject it. Overall, flipcharts take a while to make but could be great for introducing topics that are very visual.
