podcasts regarding teaching with a SmartBoard

An interactive White Board (IWB) or SMART Board has the potential to deliver content better than traditional methods of teaching. Why? Because it provides multi-media functional interaction across audio, video, and computer media. It is also ideal for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. These qualities of an IWB also promote the dynamic delivery of content (if used to its full potential) in an engaging manner, which allows students to interact with science or math content their self. Examples include: * data manipulation * responding to data * even creating data So with all these attributes - "How are interactive white boards unsuccessfully used in science and math classrooms?" For the most part - not effectively!

Interactive whiteboards (IWB) allow science and math teachers to teach multi-sensory lessons, seamlessly jumping from one type of media to another. Interactive science or math lessons can easily integrate text, sound, video, and graphics based on the tactile nature of the IWB.

Very interesting thoughts regarding the implementation and usage of IWBs.

I am convinced that the power is IN THE SOFTWARE. But not the software itself, but how it is used as a tool to present the lesson in a new way, for a different learning style, for access outside of the classroom.

These are free. @mslinch: FYI: all of the BrainPOP Jr. K-3 games are free. :) http://www.brainpopjr.com/games/ #gr8t

Great tool for primary Social Studies.

To get started pick a subject, then an age group from the menu on the left. We've been working hard to feature the best educational resources which work well on interactive whiteboards in the classroom. The resources are organised by subject, age group and category to make them easy for you to find. We are constantly updating the web sites listed here to ensure that they are current.

Strategies and techniques are presented for incorporating interactive technology for connecting lesson concepts and engaging students in the learning process.

Thanx Andrew 4 this one. Has game boards accross all the disciplines: literacy, numeracy, science, history, geography, ICT...
