At the end of May, a software update for Mac was released for eBeam Projection users. The new Interact 1.2 for Mac OS X (10.3 or higher) has several features that Mac eBeam users have been asking for! Three of these new features include image based objects, an updated image gallery, and the PowerPoint/ Keynote Toolbar!
Every image that is imported into Scrapbook is now an image based object. Click once on your image with the pointer located on the Scrapbook Wheel and handles will appear allowing you to enlarge, minimize or rotate your image. When using the camera to capture an image or a selected area of an image from a website, the snapshot that is imported into Scrapbook is now able to be manipulated and positioned on the page as you desire.
Have you been utilizing your eBeam Image Gallery? In Scrapbook, click on the blue butterfly icon on the right hand side of the menu bar. The Image Gallery holds educational images to dress up your Scrapbook lessons. Download the latest release and you will notice your gallery has expanded! Some of these images include a Periodic Table, alphabet chart, U.S. currency and math tools.
The long-awaited PowerPoint Toolbar for Mac is here! Click on the PowerPoint icon located on the Desktop Toolbar, open an existing PowerPoint or Keynote presentation and begin annotating right on top of your presentation. Markings can be saved, emailed or shared. Tip: Make sure to choose “save as” when saving your annotated PowerPoint presentation so not as to erase your original. Interact 1.2 for Mac is integrated with Microsoft PowerPoint 2004 and 2008, as well as Keynote 2004 and 2008.
