An Interactive Whiteboard is a type of touch-sensitive whiteboard, which has the power totransform any classroom into a dynamic learning environment.

It allows teachers and students to participate interactively in activities projected onto the boardfrom a data projector which is connected to a computer.

Interactive whiteboards are widely used in schools as they are much more lively and interestingthan conventional teaching. They provide ways to show students anything which can bepresented on a computer (educational software, videos, websites, etc). Research has shown thatteaching through interactive whiteboard software has numerous advantages:

ñ It can accommodate different learning stylesñ It is suitable for both small and large groups of studentsñ It helps increase students’ attention spanñ It assists the assimilation of new informationñ It dramatically increases real teaching timeñ It reduces the time teachers need for preparationñ It eliminates the need for additional equipment (DVD player, CD player, etc)

All in all, it is a powerful teaching tool that will transform your lessons and your classroom!

ñ A computer (IBM compatible or Mac OS)ñ A projectorñ An interactive whiteboard or a device that turns a plain whiteboard into an interactive whiteboardñ Speakers

Welcome to Upstream Pre-Intermediate B1 Interactive Whiteboard (IWB)software.This application is designed to follow the Upstream Pre-Intermediatecourse and enhance your own and your learners’ experience in the languageclassroom.

What is an Interactive Whiteboard?

What equipment do I need to use the IWB software?


The application should run automatically when you insert the CD into your CD drive. If it does not,please follow these steps:

In all multiple choice tasks, such as gap-filling, ticking, circling, matching and so on, apart fromthe ability of the user to select the correct answer manually, there is the additional option of abutton (which will appear on the left or the right of the question) to select the correct answerautomatically (see Fig 25-26).

In some of the multiple choice tasks apart from the additional button on each question, there willbe a button at the end of the rubric which will reveal the correct answers to the whole taskautomatically (see Fig 27).

Fig 25 Fig 26

Fig 27

The Upstream Pre-Intermediate B1 IWB is designed as a teaching aid to be used in conjunctionwith the coursebook and for this reason the content is identical. However, in order to do theexercises, you will have to carry out two basic computer actions – clicking and clicking and dragging.

Here is an overview of the types of tasks in this software and how to do them:

Task types and how to complete them

Clicking


Fig 31

... ?

In some exercises, you click the SHOW KEY buttons to reveal the suggested answers (see Fig 28-30).

Fig 28 Fig 29

Fig 30

The buttons in Fig 31 are the SHOW KEY buttons.


Sometimes, as in Exercise 4a of Unit 5a (see Fig 32), clicking on the correct answer will revealanother SHOW KEY button. Clicking that SHOW KEY button reveals the reference in the text,i.e. the justification for the correct answer (see Fig 33).

Fig 34

In some tasks, clicking the SHOW KEY button reveals a picture, (see Fig 34) or a text and a picture(see Fig 35).

Fig 35

Fig 32 Fig 33


Fig 36 Fig 37

Fig 38 Fig 39

In other multiple choice tasks clicking on the correct answer may change its colour (see Fig 36),underline it, (see Fig 37) show a tick (see Fig 38) or circle it (see Fig 39) to indicate its accuracy.


Clicking is also used in pronunciationtasks. Click the HEADPHONES next toeach item to activate the audio. In thetask in Fig 40, you also click the syllablethat is stressed to underline it.

Fig 40

In all reading tasks, the texts will be revealed if you click the SHOW TEXT button (see Fig 41). Byclicking the button, you can hide the text and return to the task (see Fig 42).

Fig 43

Fig 41 Fig 42

Fig 44

In Explain the words in bold tasks, the definitions and examples of the words will be revealed if youclick on the bolded words in the text (see Fig 43-44).


WEB LINKS have been collated so as to assist you in researching the various projects (see Fig 45).By clicking on the link, it will take you to the corresponding website (see Fig 46), providing youhave internet access.

Fig 45 Fig 46

In some click and drag tasks there may be a button at the end of the rubric which will reveal thecorrect answers to the whole task automatically (see Fig 47-48).

Clicking and dragging


Fig 51

Fig 49 Fig 50

Fig 52

Matching exercises may involve matching words (see Fig 49) phrases (see Fig 50), paragraphs(see Fig 51-52) etc. Simply click the item and drag it to your chosen place. If the answer iswrong, it will bounce back to its original position.


At the bottom of every screen, you will find the Toolbar.

If for any reason you don’t want to see the toolbar during your lesson you can hideit by clicking this arrow on the left-hand side. To make it reappear, you can click the remainingarrow at the bottom on the right.

Then you click SAVE . A blue windowappears with the options SAVE and CANCEL.Type in the field above those two options aname for your notes. It will be best if youname your notes according to the unit,exercise, page number and possibly the dateyou created them (see Fig 69). For example,you could name a file 7b_Ex3_22June. Thisway, you will locate them more easily onceyou have created a long list of notes.

It is possible that your system will notify youthat ‘Local’, i.e. this software, is trying tostore a file in your computer (see Fig 70). ClickALLOW.

Now you have successfully saved your notes.

Loading notes


As you save notes while using the Upstream Pre-Intermediate B1 IWB software, you may wishto share them with other teachers using this software. You may also wish to use them on adifferent computer for a different class of the same level. In order to do either, you have to exportyour saved notes.

For this purpose, we have included the Note Exporter utility in the software. Please note that thisfunction is only available for systems that are using the same software and that for Note Exporterto function correctly, you need to have saved at least one set of whiteboard notes.

Note Exporter will now start. The new window thatappears will offer you two options (see Fig 75).

Click EXPORT NOTES if you want to transfernotes from this computer to another computer.

Click IMPORT NOTES if you want to transfernotes to this computer from another computer.

In the new window that appears, double-clickthe Note Exporter.exe icon (see Fig 74).

To run Note Exporter go to My Computer. Then,right-click on the icon UpsB1. A drop-downmenu will appear (see Fig 73). Click Explore.

N.B.: Before exporting any notes, you will need to have created a folder in your computer intowhich your notes will be exported. In this example, we have named this folder UpsB1IWB.

When you click on EXPORT NOTES thecomputer will start searching your hard diskfor any interactive whiteboard notes that mayexist on it. You will see the message in Fig 76.

After a few minutes, you will be prompted toenter the application file identifier. This is thefile in which the software saves all your notes.Please type

UpsB1
