Mobi and Interwrite Workspace Beginners Manual - Crosby ISD

26
NOTES:
In order to use the content gallery you need to make sure you have installed it from our
website (this is a separate install from the Workspace software).
With a blank workspace window page open click on the gallery tool. The first time you launch
the gallery all of the images will go through a build process. Once finished, the gallery window
will open and you will see folders in the top. It will look like the screenshot on page 23. Find a
subject folder for your subject area. Some folders will have additional folders inside. Images
will appear in the bottom window. It will look like the screenshot on page 25. When you find
the image you want to use, drag that image into the workspace page (you do not have to click
with the rocker bar, simply drag with the pen tip). Page 25 shows you image pages and Flash
files.
The Interwrite Content Gallery was designed to be open-architecture. This means that you
can bring in many different file types of your own: pictures, .pdf, .ppt, etc. into the gallery and
store them for access during or while building lessons. For example, if you have a .pdf that
you want to bring into the gallery you simply select or create the folder you want to store it in
and then drag and drop the .pdf into the folder. To use it, select a New Page and then drag
and drop the .pdf from within the gallery onto the paper – it will load all pages for you to use.
From here, you can utilize tools such as the zoom and curtain tools (to focus on one question
at a time) or the capture tool to select part of the .pdf and then have it automatically placed
inside a new page – helping you to focus on just one item at a time.
Try bringing in flash files and other content from sites you use every day!
