 * This is a flipchart describing the use of Activotes in Peer Assessment. For example, an Accelerated Algebra 2 class developed a graphing calculator quick reference sheets and then presented on what they found giving demonstrations using TI-SmartView. The class could then measure the groups performance using the Activotes and the rubrics created for each topic. The classes' grade, as well as my grade, can then be factored into the final group grade. The reference sheet and the presentation have to satisfy the audience, so why not let the audience have a say.
 * This flipchart covers simplifying cube roots and has Activote questions embedded.
 * Both of these flipcharts offer information on creating and using Activotes.
