Creating a Video Game using Promethean's Activ Inspire



SuperTeacherStuff.com

I am currently developing a video game using Promethean's ActivInspire software. I'm hoping to get my students involved in creating video games for reading assignments, and I think that this is a good way to begin without a lot of coding.

Activ Inspire is a program for Promethean's interactive whiteboard, and I feel that it can be used for more than just hiding and revealing answers, or quizing students.

Teachers it time to think out side of the curriculum.
