Create an ActivClassroom!

  • GJSMS has purchased 2 sets of ActivExpressions and will be purchasing 2 additional sets shortly; the Special Ed department will be purchasing a set for their department in the Spring. An interactive whiteboard is NOT required to use ActivInspire and ActivExpressions! 
  • Professional development is required before the devices can be used with ActivInspire software; see the Professional Development opportunities at the bottom of this page. Teachers engaging in professional development may request installation of ActivInspire software on their classroom computers; contact Kelly Ray or Steve Barth.  

 

PROCEDURES for Using ActivExpressions 

 

  1. RESERVE a set of ActivExpressions on the AV-Technology Reservations Sheet:  SHARED drive > Tech Resources > Equipment Reservations
  2. See Kelly or Donna in the Library Office to retrieve the ActivExpressions Kit you reserved (Kits are secured in locked cabinet in the AV room) 
  3. Use your class lists to assign students an ActivExpressions device number for your class, for the entire school year (#1-32).  Have students write their assigned device number in the space provided on their Student Computer ID Card.
  4. Ensure that all devices have been returned before dismissing each class. 
  5. Remember to return the ActivHub to the bag before returning the Kit to the Library Office.
  6. Return the Kit promptly at the end of your reservation so that it's available for the next user. 
  7. Return the Kit directly to Donna or Kelly so that we can lock it up; if we're not around, leave it on the round table in the Library Office and send us both an email to let us know you dropped it off.
