ActivInspire

**What is ActivInspire?**
ActivInspire is a software that is similar to SMART Notebook. ActivInspire is made for Promethean boards while SMART Notebook is made for SMARTBoards. Everyday Math developed a partnership with ActivInspire, leading to the creation all of their interactive whiteboard files in ActivInspire.
