Personalize your Flipcharts

[tslezak]

Create personalized avatars to use on your flipchart pages. My students used the site http://www.myavatareditor.com to create an avatar that looks like the Mii characters from the Wii gaming system. They love to see pages with their avatars during my lessons. I easily insert speech bubbles to my pages and they are instantly motivated! I also use the avatars on my attendance screen that the students sign in on during our morning routine. One tip if you decide to use this site is to download the avatar with a transparent background as a PNG file. The avatars should then be cropped using a photo editing software to reduce the size of the transparent box around the avatar. This will make them easier to move on a page.

Hi tslezak, thanks for the link to that site, I know my pupils will love my new image!

There's an easy way in ActivInspire to get rid of the transparent box around an image. Select the image > Property Browser > Miscellaneous > click on Transparent Colour > use the Colour Picker to absorb the colour in the box, leaving you with the clean image.
