7. Built in Curriculum Resources
Gallery
Includes Interactive Tools (Flash)
Content partners and links
Tips and Tricks provided
Put in places to go in gallery and what to show
Curriculum tools developed by Luidia, based on requests from users.
In Scrapbook show Gallery icon – show how it toggles Gallery from open and accessible to closed.
Indicate how the Gallery is sorted into folders just as our competitors do. Explain how there are familiar versions of standard classroom tools.
Calendars, graphs and charts, classroom furniture, math manipulatives, writing templates, flash tools.
Show how to drag and drop items onto a page, add them as background or floating object, and how to import items into Gallery (folder provided).

Go to the “Flash tools” folder and pull in “dice.swf.”
Go into the Classroom Tools -> Graphic Organizer and pull in a “Three Column Chart” as a background.
Go into the Mathematics or History and Social Studies folder and find the Currency Folder.
Drag a dollar, quarter and nickel into the “Favorites” Folder – this is good to do to show our version of “cloning.”
Starting with nickels, use the “Roll One Die” option and depending on the # rolled, pull that number of nickels from the “Favorites” Folder into the far right column- once you get to an equivalent of 25 cents, show how to drag around items and right click to delete and then put a quarter in the place of the five nickels.
Now roll for quarters until you get a dollars worth.
Do your own variations of this as a learning game.
Some similar exercises:

flickr can be used to prepare lessons and content as well as on the fly
Do flickr search on Ancient Greece - show results and drag in items as both backgrounds and floating objects, show how to drag a flickr item from gallery to favorites for later use

10. Web Resources
These require online access and can be sorted and searched. Luidia’s criteria was to link to sites that work well for whole class instruction and sites that are aligned with national and state standards – you can use the search functionality and put in “Standards” to highlight this.
Follow the link from the Gallery to Web Resources – These are much more geared to North American English use, but we have had positive feedback internationally about many of the sites.
Show how you can select an age range, subject and type of activity or do a search.
Show/do the activity with participants. Some good ones to show to include:
How to use “search” and “sort” to get to these

13. Inscribe Tablet Integration
Absolute, not relative surface area, maps to computer screen
Can lift sleeve to trace items
Inscribe dongle support 50 users
Do need to install driver for Tablet – available on website under support, Inscribe
Page up and down works with all apps
Important for ability to use dual input.
Make sure ALL eBeam software is not running.
Make sure driver for Inscribe Tablet is loaded on computer
Make sure all steps are followed to set up Tablet and pair to computer – these are on the Luidia website
Step 1 – put dongle in available USB port
Step 2 – turn on tablet – verify that it has been paired
Step 3 – launch eBeam Tool Palette (or Scrapbook or Home) – Note: if Edge is not connected to computer you will get a screen that asks oyu to connect or locate – click “Cancel”
Step 4 – try using stylus as mouse on Inscribe
Step 5 – see if the shortcut strip items are working properly – click button, second from right, and see if you can get to a full page in Scrapbook. Press it again and see if you go back to a smaller page size
Step 6 – confirm that you can control the tool palette color, line thickness, pen and highlighter from Inscribe
Step 7 – see if in multi-page docs you can use page up page down buttons
If you have an eBeam receiver attached, the button on the far right will toggle between Inscribe having full mouse control and Inscribe only being able to work on the active Scrapbook page. When Inscribe is on active Scrapbook page, the person using Interactive Stylus at board is able to maintain full control of desktop and also to have pen down simultaneous to person using Inscribe.
Work with eBeam Education software, access tools from shortcut strip and have two users work simultaneously on an eBeam Scrapbook page at once.
