Getting Started with Interwrite Workspace
The purpose of this document is to give you a feel for the Interwrite system by
showing you how to select and use a tool in Interactive Mode. The Annotation
Tools of Interactive Mode consist of freehand tools, text tools and drawing
tools. Of the freehand tools, the Pen tool is the most frequently used Interwrite
Workspace Tool. The following pages describe how to select and configure
the Pen tool.
The Interwrite system is at the heart of a successful interactive collaboration,
whether it is in a classroom of fourth graders studying world geography, or in
a boardroom of corporate executives brainstorming a new product launch. All
the tools you will need to stimulate inspiration, connection and participation
can be found in the Interwrite Workspace software. Here’s a quick look at the
Workspace basics to get you started.
