The pupils of a special needs primary school in Kitwe, Zambia will receive tablets and smart boards to help them channel their creativity and stimulate them to work on activities together.
While the UK celebrates safer internet day on February 7, we can go through and get some great resources for kids of all ages (including some SmartBoard templates.)
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.
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!
Welcome to TeacherLed.com. This site aims to provide teaching and learning resources to make the use of the interactive whiteboard in the classroom easier and more productive.
Strategies and techniques are presented for incorporating interactive technology for connecting lesson concepts and engaging students in the learning process.
