Welcome to Fairyland 4 Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) Software* . This

application is designed to follow the Fairyland course and enhance your own

and your learners’ experience in the language classroom.

What is an Interactive Whiteboard?

An Interactive Whiteboard is a type of touch-sensitive whiteboard, which has the power to

transform any classroom into a dynamic learning environment.

It allows teachers and students to participate interactively in activities projected onto the board

from a data projector which is connected to a computer.

Interactive whiteboards are widely used in schools as they are much more lively and interesting

than conventional teaching. They provide ways to show students anything which can be

presented on a computer (educational software, videos, websites, etc). Research has shown that

teaching through interactive whiteboard software has numerous advantages:

ñ It can accommodate different learning styles.

ñ It is suitable for both small and large groups of students.

ñ It helps increase students’ attention span.

ñ It assists the assimilation of new information.

ñ It dramatically increases real teaching time.

ñ It reduces the time teachers need for preparation.

ñ 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!

What equipment do I need to use the IWB software?

ñ A computer (IBM compatible or Mac OS)

ñ A projector

ñ An interactive whiteboard or a device that turns a plain whiteboard into an interactive whiteboard

ñ Speakers

*Note: All the Express Publishing IWB software includes a User’s Manual in PDF format. After the

software has run automatically, click the ‘X’ button on the top right corner of the screen to exit. Then

go to ‘My computer’, right click on the drive this software is in, and click ‘Explore’. This will open up a

window with all components of the software, including the User’s Manual . Double click on the name of

the manual to open it.

The User’s Manual includes everything the teacher needs to know about using the IWB software. We

strongly suggest that the teacher takes some time to familiarise him/herself with the applications (i.e.

using the toolbar, task types and how to complete them, etc) on the IWB before proceeding any further.
