Started with example whiteboards:
Matching activity:
Makeover:
Level 1: Slide from pp…
Use highlighter/text to correct the text

- save as a wbd file to maintain the interactive quality of the content ….
- File – Save – (All pages/current pages/selected pages) – File type ‘Whiteboard Files(*.wbd)
Application Sharing.
Share application for entire desktop – eg share a student’s assignment and make changes in real time – Doing Excel formulas with students
Bb Collaborate Panels will see show (Chat windows etc) …resolution not good
Easier to see just one window eg session plan
Keys to application sharing:
- Open the application (not minimised)….’spinning wheel of wonder’
- Select the method
- Click share
Nb. no possibility of sharing sound on application sharing so best to use ‘Web tour’ instead.
Select WebTour – Type in URL – if someone else clicks the ‘follow me’ box they now control the page and change the webpage
Summary: Application share/Web Tour
Application share:
- One person at a time
- Demo how to perform tasks
- Demo a website
- sharing a password protected site
Web Tour
- All actively participate
- Tasks independently
- Accessing multimedia independently
