Mobi and Interwrite Workspace Beginners Manual - Crosby ISD

8
NOTES:
There are two ways to use your MOBI: as a mouse and as an interactive device.
We’ll begin by understanding how to use it as a mouse. Let’s start with the pen. The first
thing to note is that the pen does not need to touch the board until you are ready to write.
You’ll notice that if you hover within a ¼ inch of the board your curser will move. Try
hovering in the upper right-hand corner of your MOBI; you’ll see that the cursor on your
computer will move to that location on your computer.
Tap to left click, use the rocker button to double click or to right click.
The best way to get comfortable with using your MOBI is to get rid of your normal ‘mouse’
and use the MOBI instead. We also suggest playing games like Solitaire or going to
www.edheads.org and using your MOBI to work through a virtual surgery. These activities
get you acquainted with hovering, clicking, dragging and dropping. Once you master this,
your MOBI will become your best friend.
You will notice as you are moving your pen around the pad, the location is calibrated to the
computer screen. Unlike interactive whiteboards no manual calibration ever has to be
done.
To launch an application, i.e. internet explorer, you follow these steps. Move your pen to
the location of the icon and then press the double click (rocker bar towards the tip). There
is no need to do multiple taps. Now, try this method to launch Internet Explorer.
Right click: Hover over the icon, press
the Rocker Bar towards the top of the
pen. The right-click menu will appear.
Double click: Hover over the icon, press
the Rocker Bar towards the tip of the
pen. The program will open.
You will never have to go back to your
computer mouse.
