The latest version of Promethean’s ActivInspire software now supports the ability to embed HTML in your Flipcharts … so what? Well, that means you can now easily integrate Poll Everywhere with your Promethean interactive whiteboard!

Here’s how:

First, you want to make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of ActivInspire (1.6.47432 at the time of this post). You can do this by opening the help menu and selecting ‘Check for updates…’

Next, you’ll need to grab the necessary embed code for your poll. This can be found under the ‘Share and Publish’ menu when viewing a poll by clicking the ‘Blog or webpage’ link. You’re going to want to copy the code for the ‘Live Chart Widget.’ (Note: The width and height parameters of the poll are contained in this object. You may need to adjust these to make the poll legible when embedded in your Flipchart.)

Now, open the Insert menu in ActivInspire and select ‘Embedded HTML’ from the ‘Link’ section. Then just paste the code copied from the ‘Live Chart Widget’. Notice in this example we’ve changed the height and width parameters to be larger, so our chart won’t be too small when embedded in the Flipchart.
