Team members should take turns completing the various activities at this station. Every team member should use the slate at least once.


 * 1) “Wake up” the slate pen by tapping the pen on the slate.
 * 2) The slate pen functions as a wireless mouse for your computer. Hover over the slate with the pen to move the mouse. Tap the pen on the slate to “click” the mouse. The slate only recognizes the pen… it’s ok for your hand to rest on it.
 * 3) Using the ConVa Live software, you can write on the screen with the pen. Double click the ConVa Live icon on the desktop to open the floating toolbar.
 * 4) Double click the “100 meter dash” file on the desktop.
 * 5) Select the pencil tool from the ConVa Live floating toolbar.
 * 6) Follow the maze.
 * 7) Clear the screen by clicking the ERASE ALL tool on the floating toolbar
 * 8) Click on the SYSTEM MOUSE tool
 * 9) Close the 100 Meter Dash file and open the “Uneven Bars” file.
 * 10) Select the pen tool from the ConVa Live floating toolbar and practice writing with the slate by tracing the words.
 * 11) Clear the screen.
 * 12) Close the “Uneven Bars” file.
 * 13) Close the Convey Live floating toolbar (click the Start button on the toolbar and click EXIT)
 * 14) Open the “Light of Life Mailbox Activity”. Any Mailbox cut and paste activity can be turned into a whole class slate activity (Amy will do it for you!). Use the slate as a wireless mouse to move the boxes on the right to the correct spot.
 * 15) Close the file and click DON’T SAVE when it asks.
 * 16) Open the “Beginning Sounds” Kidspiration file on the desktop.
 * 17) Use the slate as a wireless mouse to move the pictures to the correct beginning sound. Many built-in Kidspiration templates could be awesome whole class slate activities. The kids LOVE to pass around and use the slate!
