Adding resources to a flipchart

The process of adding resources from the Resource Library to a flipchart is always the same, regardless of the type of resource.

Here we concentrate on templates, one type of resource that can be used in many different ways:

About templates

Some templates are designed to be used as provided, while you can use others as the starting point for your own work. Templates can be life savers, when you quickly need to put a lesson together.

Some templates contain Page Notes with suggestions for how to use the template. How you use templates is entirely up to you.

You can always visit Promethean Planet for more templates

Insert a template

Here we show you some quick ways to insert a template into your flipchart.

Drag and drop

  1. In the Page Browser, click on the thumbnail of the page after which you want to insert a page template.
