Bouncy Balls
The louder the sound the students make, the more the balls will bounce. A great tool for managing classroom noise.

Clker
Clker is a site to get free clipart. There is a large selection to choose from, & the site gives you an opportunity to change any clipart through a built-in graphics-editing program, to update the image to fit your needs. These clipart images work great within the //ActivInspire// program, as that all of the images are cut to the image & no white space is left around the image allowing it to blend to any background page.

Random Name Selector
A random name selector, like drawing a name out a hat or reading it off a popsicle stick. It is a simple tool for picking names of students. To use the selector just type in or copy & paste a list of student names then hit "go." Once a name is selected, the computer reads the name, & you then have the option of launching a two minute or seven minute countdown timer. You can also have the ability to remove a name from the list after it has been selected. If you would like to save the list, click save & it will give you a short bitly URL that will take you to your saved list.
