IWB self-training - session notes

Here's a short summary of a workshop we did yesterday, for those who couldn't make it
If you want to learn how to make flipcharts to use on the Interactive Whiteboards in rooms 7, 8 and 10, here's how:
1. Go to this site: http://www.prometheanlearning.co.uk
2. Click on the box labelled "English UK and Rest of World" - below on the left. It is rather difficult to see - a mistake in the page design. Look for the image of Big Ben.
3. To use the free tutorials, you must create an account. Simple: just click on "Create New Account" below the login window.
3. Fill in the onscreen form, inventing a user name and password for yourself and completing the other info. Make sure your e-mail address is correct, as it will be used to send you an account activation code.
4. On logging in, you'll see "My Courses" on the left. Choose "Activstudio Level 1 foundation Skills Course".
5. You'll now be introduced to the first of ten topics. Each topic has up to seven tutorials, each of which often takes no more than a couple of minutes to complete.
6. After topics 2, 5, 7 and 10, you have to take a mini exam. You must get 100 per cent to pass. But if you fail, you can review the topics you failed on, and you can take the tests as often as you like.
7. The whole operation from start to finish may take about three hours.
8. You can do this on any computer but it must have Adobe Flash installed. Otherwise the tutorials won't work. You could do this at home especially if you have ADSL (broadband). In the Council staff room, computers 1 and 6 (counting from the window on the far left) have Flash and you can do the tutorials. The other computers should soon be enabled.
I hope this helps. Ask me if there is anything you don't understand.
Kind regards,
Mike
