Using the ActivPen

ActivInspire has tools, menus and browsers.

You create flipcharts by assembling objects on flipchart pages.

Use a mouse to create flipcharts at your desk.

Use an ActivPen to present flipcharts at the board.

This section applies to using ActivInspire with an ActivBoard or ActivSlate

 

 

 

The ActivPen can do everything that a standard computer mouse does.

Moving the cursor

Hold the ActivPen's tip lightly on the board; don't push the tip in. Move the ActivPen around. The cursor follows your pen.

Left-click

Tap the ActivPen's tip firmly but quickly into the ActivBoard.

Right-click

Hover the ActivPen tip over the ActivBoard, less than a centimetre away from the board. Press the button on the side of the ActivPen.

Click and drag

Click on the object you want to move, hold the ActivPen's tip down on the board and then move the ActivPen. The object you have clicked moves with the ActivPen.

Double-click

Two firm but quick taps with the ActivPen's nib perform the same action as a double-click with a mouse.
