The document provides tips for using an Activ classroom board to engage students in learning. It recommends that teachers (1) start by creating their own flipcharts or finding shared resources, (2) set goals such as creating two flipcharts per day, (3) keep designs simple with colorful backgrounds and text, and (4) experiment with new skills weekly to keep students interested. The overall message is that an Activ board, used creatively, can enhance student learning and engagement.
