Welcome to Prime Time 4 Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) software. This
application is designed to follow the Prime Time 4 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 board 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 very popular in schools and are considered a more lively and
interesting approach 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:
It can accommodate different learning styles
It is suitable for both small and larger groups of students
It helps increase students attention span
It facilitates the assimilation of new information
It dramatically increases real teaching time
It reduces the time teachers need for preparation
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 lesson and your classroom!
What equipment do I need to use the IWB software?

A computer (IBM compatible or Mac OS)
A projector
An interactive whiteboard or a device that turns a plain whiteboard into an interactive whiteboard
Speakers

Running the application
On an IBM compatible PC
When you insert the CD/DVD into the

CD/DVD drive for the first time, the
application will display two options
INSTALL and AUTOPLAY (see Fig 1).
Fig 1
Install
Clicking INSTALL will start the process of copying the software to your hard drive (see Fig 2), this
will take 5 15 minutes depending on the computers configuration. When the installation of the
software is complete (see Fig 3), a shortcut will automatically be created on your Desktop. You will
now be able to access this software from this shortcut. You can now remove the CD/DVD from your
CD/DVD drive.
Fig 2 Fig 3
The INSTALL function only copies the CD/DVDs data to your hard disk drive in the C:\EPIWB
location. In this location, you will find all of our software which you may have installed over time.
Uninstall
If you wish to free space from your computer in the event that you dont need the software any
longer insert the CD/DVD into the CD/DVD drive (autorun or run the INST.exe file). The application
will display two options AUTOPLAY and UNINSTALL (see Fig 4). Clicking UNINSTALL will take you
to a prompt that requires your confirmation that you wish to remove the software from the
C:\EPIWB\PT4 location (see Fig 5), thus removing all of the contents of the relative folder. Click on
the prompt if you are certain that you wish to proceed with the deletion of the relative folder.
Fig 4 Fig 5
If the aforementioned prompt (see Fig 5) displays on screen and it is the first time you have used
this CD/DVD, it means that the path C:\EPIWB\PT4 is already in use and that you already have data
stored in this location. In order to proceed with the installation of our software you are advised to
change the location of your stored data as the relative path is reserved for the installation of our
software. If again, you are certain that you no longer require the data that is currently stored in this
location, click to proceed with the removal of the data in order to install our software.
Autoplay
Clicking AUTOPLAY will run the software directly from the CD/DVD.
On a Mac OS
When you insert the DVD into your drive, an icon will appear on your desktop with the name PT4.
If you click it, the contents of the DVD will appear in a browser window. Click the PT4.app file
to run the application.

Task types and how to complete them
The Prime Time 4 IWB is designed as a teaching aid to be used in conjunction with the
coursebook and for this reason the content is identical. However, in order to do the exercises, you
will have to carry out three basic computer actions clicking, clicking and dragging and typing.
Here is an overview of the types of tasks in this software and how to do them:
Clicking
In all tasks with fixed answers, such as multiple choice, gap-filling, ticking, circling, matching and
so on, apart from the ability of the user to select the correct answer manually by clicking on the
correct choice itself, there is the additional option of a button which is present on the left or the
right of the question . This is called the SHOW KEY button and it reveals the correct answer
automatically on clicking (see Fig 69). Clicking is also used in pronunciation tasks. Click on the
HEADPHONES next to each item to activate the audio (see Fig 70).
Fig 69 Fig 70
When a SHOW KEY button is in the form of , this is to indicate that the corresponding answer
is a suggested one only and that there can be many variations. Answers can be revealed globally
or individually. Clicking on the SHOW KEY button in the rubric will reveal all the answers related
to the task. Alternatively, click on the individual buttons within the exercise to reveal the answers
individually. All the answers that the SHOW KEY buttons reveal can be made to disappear again
by clicking the button once more.
In tasks with , the words will be revealed if you click the button (see Fig 71 & 72).

In tasks where students are asked to guess what the correct answer is, simply click on your choice
(see Fig 76). At this stage, the answers are not provided. When you move to the next screen, the
selection from the previous screen carries over. Once you have listened to the dialogue, click
to show which statements were guessed correctly and which were not (see Fig 77).

Some exercises give you additional help or information. These are in the form of button.
Clicking and dragging
To match any item (word, phrase, picture etc) to another, you simply click the item and drag it to
your chosen place (see Fig 80 & 81). If the answer is wrong, it will bounce back to its original position.
With the exception of listening exercises, these actions are accompanied by sound effects.

SAVE and LOAD NOTES: These two tools are especially useful if you want to use the
same notes on a different day. Please note that the Prime Time 4 IWB notes and
annotations can be accessed only through this software; therefore, they will be
saved in a file created and identified by the software alone.
Saving notes
First you need to make notes,

either using the pencil or the
text box tool, as in the
example in Fig 115.
Fig 115
Then click SAVE . A blue window appears

with the options SAVE and CANCEL. Type a name for
your notes in the field that appears above these two
options and click SAVE. It is best to name your notes
according to the unit, exercise, page number and
possibly the date you created them (see Fig 116). For
example, you could name a file 2a_Ex2_13Sept. In
this way, you can locate them easily once you have
accumulated a long list of notes.
Fig 116
It is possible that your system will notify you that Local, i.e. this software, is trying to store a file
in your computer. Click ALLOW.
Now you have successfully saved your notes.

can then access at any time (see Fig 121 & 122).

Using Note Exporter on an IBM compatible PC
As you save notes while using the Prime Time 4 IWB Software, you may wish to share them with
other teachers using this software. You may also wish to use them on a different computer for a
different class of the same level. In order to do either, you have to export your saved notes.
For this purpose, we have included the Note Exporter utility in this software. Please note that this
function is only available for systems that are using the same software and that for Note Exporter
to function correctly, you need to have saved at least one set of whiteboard notes.
To run Note Exporter go to My Computer.

Then, right-click on the icon PT4 IWB on
your disk drive. A drop-down menu will
appear (see Fig 123). Click EXPLORE.
Fig 123
In the new window that appears, double-click

the Note Exporter icon (see Fig 124).
Fig 124
Note Exporter will now start. The new window that

appears will offer you two options (see Fig 125).
Click EXPORT NOTES if you want to transfer
notes from this computer to another computer.
Click IMPORT NOTES if you want to transfer
notes to this computer from another computer.
Fig 125
Exporting notes
N.B.: Before exporting any notes, you will need to have created a folder in your computer into which
your notes will be exported. In this example, we have named this folder PT4.
When you click EXPORT NOTES the computer

will start searching your hard disk for any
interactive whiteboard notes that may exist
on it. You will see the message in Fig 126.
Fig 126
After a few minutes, you will be prompted

to enter the application file identifier (see Fig
127). This is the file in which the software
saves all your notes. Please type
PT4
in the space provided. Please note that this
file name is case-sensitive, so it is important
that you type it in correctly. Now click OK. Fig 127
A window will appear that asks you to specify

the folder in your system where you wish to
export your notes. Select the drive and the
folder from the drop-down menu and click
OK (see Fig 128).
Fig 128
Please note that, after saving your exported

notes on your computer, you may transfer
them onto a CD or DVD, a floppy disk or a USB
memory stick.
Once you have specified where you want your
notes to be saved, click OK. You will see the
message shown in Fig 129 after a few seconds. Fig 129
The saved notes files have now been moved to
the folder that the user specified (see Fig 130).
Fig 130
You can rename the file if you wish. However, please DO NOT CHANGE THE FIRST FOUR CHARACTERS
(PT4_) OR THE EXTENSION, as this will make your notes untraceable by the application.
You can now store the file(s) you exported on any storage media, or send them by email. When
you want to use these files on another computer, use the IMPORT NOTES function.
Importing notes
To import your exported notes onto another computer that has the same software, run Note
Exporter as described in the previous section (see Exporting notes).
When you see the window shown in Fig 131,

click IMPORT NOTES.

The message in Fig 132 will appear:

in the space provided. Again, please remember
that this is a set file name and that it is case-
sensitive. Now click OK.
Fig 133
he message in Fig 134 will appear. Click OK.
Fig 134
The next window will ask you to specify the

folder in which you have saved the exported
notes (see Fig 135). Scroll down the menu and
select the folder. Then, click OK. In this
particular example, the user has saved their
exported notes on their computer in a folder
called PT4. However, you can import notes
from a CD, DVD, USB stick or any other
portable medium.

When you have successfully imported the

notes, the window in Fig 136 will appear.
