eActivity Application

The eActivity application lets you input and edit text, mathematical expressions, and ClassPad application data, and save your input in a file called an “eActivity”.

A basic eActivity can contain text along with application data,

 

which is embedded as a row or a strip. A row can be a “Text

 

Row”, a “Calculation Row”, or a “Geometry Link”. A strip can be an

 

“application data strip” (Main, Graph & Table, Geometry, and so on).
