2. On the eActivity window, insert the text, expressions, application data, and other data you want to include in
the eActivity. For details, see "Inserting Data into an eActivity" below.
3. After the eActivity is the way you want, tap [File] and then [Save].
4. On the dialog box that appears, enter a file name and then tap [Save] to save the eActivity.
Tip:
eActivity files are stored in a memory area that is separate from that used for storing other types of data (variable
data, Geometry data, Spreadsheet data, etc.). Because of this, you cannot access eActivity files data using the
Variable Manager. You have to use the eActivity application to perform eActivity file operations.
Inserting Data into an eActivity
The following describes the four types of data you can insert into an eActivity.
Text row
A text row can be
used to insert text data and
mathematical expression text in
natural format. You can also bold
the text in a text row.
Calculation row
Use the calculation row to insert
any of the calculation operations
that are available in the Main
application.
u To insert a text row
1. On the eActivity window toolbar, check to make sure that u is displayed. If it isn't, tap < to toggle it to u.
• u indicates the Text Input mode is selected.
• If the cursor is located in a line that already contains input data, place the cursor at the end of the line, tap
[Insert] and then [Text Row]. This inserts a text row on the next line.
2. Use the soft keyboard or keypad keys to input the text you want.
• Pressing E will advance you to the next line without displaying results.
• Standard text (words separated by spaces) is automatically wrapped to the next line as required. A
continuous text or number string (one that does not include any spaces) will not be wrapped to the next line
if it does not fit within the width of the window.
• Note that any mathematical expressions or commands you input into a text row are treated as text. They
are not executed.
Tip
• Text can be changed to bold by dragging to select it and then tapping B. However, note that you cannot bold numeric
expressions of a natural display expression that you input with the template input mode (page 24).
• You can select a range of characters with the left and right cursor keys. Simply press the ClassPad f key and then
press e or d. Each press of the cursor key will select (highlight) the next character in the applicable direction.
Application data strip
The application data strip lets you
display a window from a ClassPad
application (Main, Graph & Table,
Geometry, etc.) and use the
window to create data, which is
inserted into the eActivity.
Geometry Link row
Use this row to insert data
that is linked with a Geometry
window figure.
