Duplicate and Align Complete
In order to accomodate dragging an item (like text) or object(like a coin), but still having the item or object remain in the original position, the item needs to be duplicated many times and then aligned-->complete so that all the copies are aligned to look like one.

In this example of learning about suffixes -ible and -able, students will drag the correct suffix to complete the words. Multiple -ible and -able objects need to be available.

We will duplicate and align complete so it looks like only one word is on the ActivBoard.

so they fit perfectly in one pile. This grouping will looks like one word, but as students drag the suffix to complete the green words above, there will always be another suffix 'able' available for other words. || || Menu-->Design Mode

1. Double click on the word "able" object. The Object Edit window will appear. 2. Click on the duplicate icon (looks like two pages together), 9 times. || || Slightly above the 'able' stack, click left mouse, hold and drag to the bottom of the 'able' stack. You will see a box like the one on the right. 4. let go, and you will have selected the entire stack of words. The move handle will appear. || || This will stack the words to look like there is only one word. When a student clicks and drags the word, it will always be the top one, and the rest will remain underneath. || || There are enough 'ible' and 'able' objects for students to complete these words.' ||  ||
 * The word will duplicate and you will see all of them with a slight offset. || [[image:duplicate2.JPG]] ||
