=Ideas for using some of the basic tools in your classroom:=


 * Teacher Use:**
 * 1) Use the highlighter tool to help students determine the key words of a piece of text. (Have you ever noticed that when students use a highlighter, many of them highlight whole sentences or paragraphs?)
 * 2) Use the line tool (arrow feature) to call students' attention to a particular detail.
 * 3) Cover answers with shapes so that they can be moved to reveal an answer after students respond.


 * Student Use:**
 * 1) Move objects or text boxes to demonstrate knowledge or understanding
 * 2) Draw a line to match two objects or texts
 * 3) Use the line tool to circle important details
 * 4) Create their own interactive activity (matching, categorizing, or hidden answers) to demonstrate their knowledge of content
