Updating software is a 21st century skill. Truly. Like a car owner should maintain their vehicle, a computer user should be aware of software updates. Car owners should know how to pump gas and get regular maintenance, like oil changes. Computer owners should check for updates to software,
especially anti-virus software. Cyber-criminals are constantly looking for ways to do evil cyber-criminal things in order to access your information, cause havoc, or just for cyber-bully thrills..... Software developers are constantly countering these attacks with updates, patches, and fixes. Plus, software developers often find ways to improve and enhance their products, and why shouldn't we get the latest, best versions? Most software programs have a "Check for Updates" area - usually within the help area. For today's skill, we will focus on one current and important update here at DDE:
Promethean's ActivInspire Version 1.6.47432 We already own this program on our computers at school, so the update is free.

Equation Editor and
Embedding HTML feeds are just two of the new features available in
Promethean's ActivInspire Version 1.6.47432.
Done! :~)

Yay! Complete. (I haven't explored yet, though so I have nothing constructive to say.)
ReplyDeleteOh, I planned to say Thanks and I forgot. Oops.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Love the new ActivInspire version with the added features and that the teachers have wonderful instructions to install it :) Another key feature of this version is that you can set ActivInspire to automatically check for updates for you so you don't have to remember.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first year using Activinspire, so I'm still working on the learning curve. I do love how the document camera and the activotes are integrated with it.
ReplyDeleteOn my to-do list! Thanks!!
