Goodbye PowerPoint?
Hmmm. No new blog posts in over a week then two at once! It must be nearly Christmas or something…
The main advantage that PowerPoint has over ActivStudio, and the only reason some teachers still use it, is the ability to reveal information or solutions one step at a time.
This is especially important with complicated worked examples in Maths, where layers of understanding must be built up gradually. Although there are various ways of revealing information in ActivStudio, these have always felt complicated and slightly inelegant.
Thankfully help is at hand 
The flipchart below contains a ‘revealer’ rectangle, which will disappear whenever you click on it. This allows information or diagrams to be revealed one at a time and in whichever order you like, significantly enhancing the thought process for pupils.

It’s probably worth nothing that there are still quite a few things which PowerPoint is extremely useful for… but then that’s another story
Firstly, Well done! This site is fab!
In regards to revealing things… Have you had a look at the new action object features in V3? There are loads of great ways of making things move and appear etc. However, unlike powerpoint you still can’t have more than one action per object.
Great!
