Resource Browser

This Browser helps you to quickly view, navigate and use the resources provided with ActivInspire to enrich your flipcharts. The Resource Library contains a huge range of games and activities, annotations, assessments, backgrounds, concept maps, images, shapes, sounds and other items too numerous to list.

You can easily extend the library with your own and other people's resources and add resource packs from the Promethean Planet website on www.prometheanplanet.com, or from our partners.

By default, the Resource Browser opens the Shared Resources folder. All resources provided with ActivInspire are arranged by category and stored in clearly named folders.

The Resource Browser has two panes, each has its own Popup Menu and tools:

Use the Items Pane to:

To add your own items to the Resource Library, you can drag them from a flipchart page and drop them onto either of the two parts of the Resource Browser.

 

Use either of the two panes to drag and drop your own creations from a flipchart page into a folder in the Resource Library.
