Interwrite Mobi Learner

The Interwrite Mobi works like a mouse. Before you use your Interwrite Mobi and Interactive Pen for the first time, they should be charged for about 12 hours. Whenever the Tablet battery is low and needs to be recharged, the Tablet Battery Status Icon will display as an empty battery.

The Interwrite Mobi Learner communicates with the computer using radio frequency technology. The RF communications module is built into the Interwrite Mobi. The Tablet communicates through its built-in RF module with the USB module installed on the computer. The Interwrite Mobi runs on Li-ion batteries, which provide about 10 hours of wireless operation before they have to be recharged.

The same steps for setting up the Interwrite Mobi should be followed for setting up the Interwrite Mobi Learner.

Interwrite MobiDock

The Interwrite MobiDock allows for storing and charging of up to three Interwrite Mobis and Interwrite Mobi Learners at the same time.

Inserting the Interwrite Mobi into the Interwrite MobiDock

1. Push the Release Pad into the

unlocked

position.

2. Line up the slot located on the back of the Mobi to the latch on the MobiDock.

3. Remove the unit and drill two pilot holes where the markings are located.

4. Place the unit back in the marked location, and install the screws into the wall, securing the unit to the wall.

Connecting Two Interwrite MobiDocks to Charge Simultaneously

You can use a double-headed charger to connect two MobiDocks, allowing you to charge up to six Mobis and Mobi Learners at the same time with the same charger.

1. Take one end of the cord and connect it as you would with a single connection.

2. Repeat for the second unit.

3. Install the units next to each other, and near the same outlet.

4. Place the Mobis and Mobi Learners into the units to charge, as you would a single unit.

Layers

Layers provide a way to manage all the items that make up your Workspace page. Layers can be considered clear folders that contain annotations. If you reshuffle the folders, you change the stacking order of the items in your annotations.

The structure of layers in your Workspace page can be as simple or complex as you want it to be. By default, all items are organized in a single, parent layer. However, you can create new layers and move items into them, or move elements from one layer to another at any time.

You use the Layers function to list, organize, and edit the objects in a document. By default, every new page contains one layer, and each object you create is listed under that layer. However, you can create new layers and rearrange items to best suit your needs.

To add layers to your Workspace document:

1. Locate the Layer Toolbar at the bottom left corner of the

Workspace document.

2. Click the Add Layer button to add a layer on top of your Workspace document.

3. You will then see the Layer Toolbar maximized with additional options:

________________________________________ Workspace Level 1 Training Workbook

Interactive Modes

The Interactive Mode has two functional modes, Mouse Mode and Annotation Mode.

Mouse Mode

The Mouse Mode tool allows you to leave a Workspace page and return back to your active desktop or open software application.

When you use the tools, Workspace grabs a screen capture of whatever you have open on your computer and brings it in as a Workspace page automatically. This seamless integration allows you to use all of the Workspace tools to add interactivity and annotation features to your presentation.

To return to your Workspace document you can either use the Previous/Next Page tool or the page sorter tool. The Mouse Mode tool will be grayed out on the Workspace toolbar when you are in Mouse Mode.

Annotate Over Desktop Mode

The Annotate Over Desktop Mode tool allows you to leave a Workspace page and return back to your active desktop or open software application.

When you use the Workspace tools, you stay in the current application so all of the features of that application are still live (scroll bar, links, etc.). This seamless integration allows you to use all of the Workspace tools to add interactivity and annotation features to your presentation without going back to the Workspace environment.

To return to your Workspace document you can either use the Previous/Next Page tool or the Mouse Mode tool. You will be prompted to save the annotations made to the live document. If you click yes, a Workspace page will be created to save the annotations. If you click no, you cannot recapture your annotations.

Check for Understanding

Describe in your own words the differences between Mouse Mode and Annotation Mode.

Some of the common tools already showcased in modules one and two that can be used to engage a lesson are Freehand Text, Freehand Shape, Highlighter, Multicolor Pen, Picture Pen, and Stamper. Some new tools showcased below are the Curtain, Timer*, and Spotlight*.

* These tools are located in the toolbox.

Curtain

The Curtain allows you to “hide” what you don’t want students to see. The Curtain is resizable,

movable and can be made transparent.

Add Existing Multimedia

Many instructors use various kinds of multimedia in their lessons including Flash objects, audio, and video. The Workspace software comes with multimedia files but gives you various tools to incorporate any existing resources you have into the Workspace environment.

Interwrite Sims

Multimedia resources available in the Gallery consist of Interwrite Sims, which are flash

simulations. They can be identified by the flash symbol in the lower right-hand corner of the thumbnail image. Sims can be found in the Interwrite Sims category but are also embedded within the Gallery. You can use your annotation tools with the Sims.

Practice

Browse through the Sims folder and select a Sim that could be used in a lesson you are creating. Try using some of the annotation tools with your Sim.

special pen tool will appear. Draw a freeform shape around the selection you wish to capture.

 Window: Capture the active window opened.  Screen: Capture what is displayed on the entire screen.

4. If you want your captured image to be placed into a blank Workspace page, make

sure you check the box labeled Place capture in new page.

* You can save your captured images to the Gallery by opening the Gallery and dragging the entity to the appropriate folder.

56

You can also create hyperlinks on Workspace pages to other files or resources that you would like to use.

Create Hyperlinks

The links tool allows you to add a hyperlink to your Workspace document. You can link to: other Workspace files, Web pages, Office documents, sound, or video files.

1. Use the Gallery or Workspace tools to create an image on the page.

2. Use the Selection tool to select the object from where you want to link.

3. Click on the Links button in the Properties Bar.

4. Click on Add/Edit Link.

5. Select the type of document you want to link to by clicking on the drop down menu by

Link type.

with an eraser or tissue.
