Welcome to Happy Hearts Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) Software. This

application is designed to follow the Happy Hearts course and enhance your
own and your learners experience in the language classroom. This Users
Manual applies to all three levels of the series Starter, 1 and 2 as they all
share the same structure and task types.

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:

It
It
It
It
It
It
It

can accommodate different learning styles.

is suitable for both small and large groups of students.
helps increase students attention span.
assists the assimilation of new information.
dramatically increases real teaching time.
reduces the time teachers need for preparation.
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?

A computer (IBM compatible or Mac OS)

A projector
An interactive whiteboard or a device that turns a plain whiteboard into an interactive whiteboard

Features
The Happy Hearts IWB Software is designed as a teaching aid for the coursebooks and for this
reason they are identical content-wise. Moreover, it includes course features such as class posters
and animated videos, all organised in individual menus for easy access. Wherever possible,
additional interactive activities have been added so as to provide further practice.
The execution of the task types used in the course is naturally slightly different when using an
interactive whiteboard. For instance, whereas you can still use the PENCIL tool (see PENCIL section
on p. 19) to write your notes or answers in a task, you may also complete them by either clicking
or dragging and dropping.
Below is a short presentation of the task types used in each section.
Meet the Characters
The main characters of each level in the series are introduced one by one in this section. Click a
character to activate a pop-up window, in which each character is introduced with a short
animation and audio excerpt (see Fig 19). Click within the pop-up window again to close it and
return to the previous screen (see Fig 20).

Fig 19: Example from Happy Hearts 1

Fig 20: Example from Happy Hearts 1

Units
As in the coursebook, there is a starter unit
and another six units in the Happy Hearts
IWB software. Each main unit is divided into
five sections: Words, Songs, Story, Activities and
Across the Curriculum (see Fig 21). Click the link
of your choice to enter the corresponding
section.

Words

From the WORDS MENU, you can access the

quick presentation of the vocabulary taught in
each unit (see Fig 22). Each flashcard is
presented on screen along with the audio of
each word or phrase it depicts.

Fig 22: Example from Happy Hearts 2

The second link in the Words menu takes you to the vocabulary activity (see Fig 23). Click a THUMBNAIL
icon to make its larger picture appear in the centre of the screen (see Fig 24). Click the HEADPHONES
icon to activate its audio. To activate the written form of each item, click the SHOW TEXT button in
the bottom right-hand corner (see Fig 24).

Fig 26: Example from Happy Hearts 2

Story
The STORY MENU shows the set of story card thumbnails in each story (see Fig 27). Click a thumbnail
to enter the STORY CARD MENU (see Fig 28). Use the audio controls to play/pause/adjust the volume
of the audio, while playing the audio of each story card (see Fig 18). Click the TAPESCRIPTS button
to reveal the text of each story card (see Fig 29) and the WATCH VIDEO button to activate the video
screen of the story (see Fig 30).

Activities
From the ACTIVITIES MENU you can access
five activities selected mainly from the Pupils
Book and the Activity Book (see Fig 31).
Wherever possible, interactive activities
especially designed for the IWB software have
been added. Activity types vary throughout
the software, but all can be completed either
by clicking, dragging and dropping, or using
the PENCIL ( ) and HIGHLIGHTER (
) tools
(see Toolbar section, p. 19) from the toolbar to
directly write your own notes, draw lines,
colour in etc. For example:
Fig 31: Example from Happy Hearts 1

In circling tasks, you can use the PENCIL

tool to circle the correct item on screen.
Alternatively, you can click the item of your
chosen answer to activate the suggested
answer (see Fig 32). A correct answer will
reveal a blue circle around the object,
whereas a wrong answer will activate a
sound effect.

Fig 32: Example from Happy Hearts 1

Express Publishing

Colouring activities can be carried out in

two different ways as depicted in Fig 33.
One way is to click the crayon of your
choice on the side of the black and white
illustration to select a colour. Then click an
area to fill it with that colour (in this
example, Fifis head). Alternatively, you can
use the PENCIL or HIGHLIGHTER tools.
Select a colour from the toolbar and
manually fill in an area with that particular
colour (see the heart on Fifis tummy).
Fig 33: Example from Happy Hearts 1

In more complicated illustrations, such as the example in Fig 34, you can additionally use the
ZOOM (
) tool to magnify a particular area and then use the PENCIL or HIGHLIGHTER to colour
it (see Fig 35).

Fig 34: Example from Happy Hearts 2

Fig 35: Example from Happy Hearts 2

Tracing activities can be carried out using the PENCIL tool (see Fig 36). If you wish to enlarge the
letter/word/number/illustration to be traced, you can use the ZOOM tool (see Fig 37).

Fig 36: Example from Happy Hearts 2

Express Publishing

Fig 37: Example from Happy Hearts 2

The PENCIL can also be used in line drawing

tasks, such as the one in Fig 38. However, in
these tasks there is also an AUTO KEY
button. Clicking it will reveal the suggested
answers.

Fig 38: Example from Happy Hearts 1

Matching activities require the dragging and

dropping of an item onto a certain place. For
instance, in Fig 39 you drag and drop a jigsaw
puzzle piece to complete a picture.

Fig 39: Example from Happy Hearts 1

In Fig 40, you drag and drop a round excerpt

from the story cards of Unit 2 in Happy Hearts
Starter (which in the Pupils Book will be a
sticker) to complete the story card illustrations.

Fig 40: Example from Happy Hearts Starter

PAGE CONTROLS: Clicking this tool will

reveal another options panel so you can
organise your notes in different layers (see
Fig 64). Each layer works as a blank page
you can write your notes on. This page
can be either transparent and visible over
the task screen, or opaque and function
like a conventional whiteboard. The
difference is that now you can prepare
your notes before your lesson, or save
them after the lesson so as to use them
again in the future with the same class or
a different class of the same level.

Saving Notes

First you need to make notes, either using

the pencil or the text box tool, as in the
example in Fig 65.

Fig 65: Example from Happy Hearts 2

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. It is best to
name your notes according to the unit, the
lesson, the exercise and the date you created
them (see Fig 66). For example, you could
name a file HH2_SC1_20April. In this way,
you can locate them easily once you have
accumulated a long list of notes.
Fig 66: Example from Happy Hearts 2

It is possible that your system will notify you

that Local, i.e. this software, is trying to
store a file in your computer (see Fig 67). Click
ALLOW.
Now you have successfully saved your notes.

Using Note Exporter on an IBM compatible PC

As you save notes while using the Happy Hearts 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 the icon of the disk on
your disk drive. A drop-down menu will
appear (see Fig 70). Click EXPLORE.

Fig 70

In the new window that appears, double-click

the NoteExporter.exe icon (see Fig 71).

Fig 71

Note Exporter will now start. The new window that

appears will offer you two options (see Fig 72).
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 72

25

Express Publishing

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 HH_IWB.

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 73.

Fig 73

After a few minutes, you will be prompted to

enter the application file identifier. This is the
file in which the software saves all your notes.
The file identifiers for each level in the series are:
HappyHeartsS for Happy Hearts Starter
HappyHearts1 for Happy Hearts 1
HappyHearts2 for Happy Hearts 2.
Please type the correct file identifier in the space
provided (see Fig 74). Please note that this file
name is case-sensitive, so it is important that
you type it correctly. Now click OK.

Fig 74

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 75).

Fig 75

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 76 after a few seconds.
Express Publishing

Fig 76

26

The saved notes files have now been moved to

the folder that the user specified (see Fig 77).

Fig 77

You can rename the file if you wish. However, please DO NOT CHANGE THE FILE PREFIXES OR
THE EXTENSION, as this will make your notes untraceable by the application. The file prefixes for
each level are:
HHS_ for Happy Hearts Starter
HH1_ for Happy Hearts 1
HH2_ for Happy Hearts 2.
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 78,

click IMPORT NOTES.

Fig 78

The message in Fig 79 will appear:

Fig 79

Express Publishing

After a few minutes, you will be prompted to

enter the application file identifier. Please type
the correct file identifier in the space provided

Using Note Exporter on a Mac OS

Note Exporter operates in a slightly different manner on a Mac OS.

To run Note Exporter, insert the

disk into your drive. Depending
on the level of the series, one of
the three icons shown in Fig 8486 will appear on your desktop.

When you click the disk icon, the contents of

the disk appear in a browser window with the

in Fig 87.
Fig 87

Click the

file to run the application.

Note Exporter will now start. The new window

that appears will offer you two options (see
Fig 88).
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.

Exporting notes

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 89.
Fig 89

After a few minutes, you will be prompted to

enter the application file identifier (see Fig 90).
This is the file in which the software saves all
your notes. Please type the correct file
identifier in the space provided (see the file
identifiers list on p. 26). Please note that this
file name is case-sensitive, so it is important
that you type it correctly. Now click OK.

Fig 90

A window will appear that asks you to specify

the folder in your system from which you
wish to export your notes (see Fig 91). Select
the drive and the folder from the drop-down
menu and click CHOOSE.

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 92 after a few seconds.
Fig 92

The saved notes files have now been moved to the folder the user specified. You can rename the
file if you wish. However, please DO NOT CHANGE THE FILE PREFIXES OR THE EXTENSION, as
this will make your notes untraceable by the application (see the file prefixes table on p. 27).
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 93,

click IMPORT NOTES.

Troubleshooting
Problem

Solution

I insert the CD in my CD drive but

nothing happens.

Your computers autorun feature is

possibly disabled. Go to My Computer
and double click the disk icon
(HappyHeartsS, HappyHearts1 or
HappyHearts2). In the new window
that opens, double-click the icon of the
file with the same name as the disk.

Ive just written some notes and I

want to go back to using the main
application, but it seems that I cannot
click anything.

Make sure you return to PC Mode

using the PC Mode icon.

Note Exporter cannot find my files.

Make sure you have typed the

application file identifier correctly.
The correct file identifiers are:
HappyHeartsS for Happy Hearts
Starter
HappyHearts1 for Happy Hearts 1
HappyHearts2 for Happy Hearts 2.
If the problem persists, avoid using
other applications while running
Note Exporter.

My pages do not print properly.

Make sure your printer is set to print

in landscape mode for optimum
results.
