Can ANYONE convert ActivInspire Flipchart into a Google Slides presentation? I have hundreds of Flipcharts and my school district is looking to move away from the Promethean boards. Apparently in 2014, ActivInspire decided that the ability to export into PowerPoint was no longer in its best interest. I am trying to import a PowerPoint (Office 2011) file into Smart Notebook 15.2 software. The problem is the only file type I am allowed to import is 'All Common File Format Files.IWB'.
We are moving away from SMARTBoards, but many teachers in our school district have many files in SMARTNoteook format. We want to eventually convert these to (editable) Google Slides.

The only way we see to do this is to export each file from SMARTNotebook 11.4 to PowerPoint 2003, 2007, or 2010 (2016 does not work), and then import them to Google Drive.Is there a way to mass-convert SMARTNotebook 11.4 files to PowerPoint?(Note: We have already considered and abandoned the idea of making all teachers do this themselves, because it would require either: 1) installing an old version of Office onto all machines, or 2) installing a trial of the current version of SMARTNotebook on all machines. Each of these introduces the potential for more technical glitches.). I'm not aware of any tool out there that does this, but you might reach out to Smart and see if they have a suggestion. I've begun thinking about this and what way we'll be moving. We are on Notebook 11.4 and don't see us purchasing licenses now since we've never did before. I think our usage is lower in creation and actually needing this software is slim.
We are G Suite and would like to see them move towards Slides since we are 1:1 with Chromebooks.I was going to recommend this as a backup source, but depending on when the file was created it might need to be updated.Sounds like a great opportunity to refresh the content. If the teachers don't want to move them over:).
