Default Settings
ActivInspire's default settings enable you to use Touch as the Select tool.
This gives you a great advantage while you present at the ActivBoard.
When you draw or create an object and you want to select it, the Select tool is available to your finger.
You can either tap on an object or swipe on the ActivBoard to select objects. All objects that you touch are selected.
If you lift your hand from the ActivBoard, the Marquee Handles appear.
While you drag the object around the ActivBoard, the Marquee Handles don't appear.
When you display the Toolbox, it shows the Select tool as current, but you can continue writing with the ActivPen.
With ActivInspire 1.5 running in your ActivClassroom, these new ActivBoards enable you to make your lesson delivery more dynamic than ever before!
