A summary of a document trying to bring together the research on what is known about the experience of using Interactive White Boards (IWBs) in the classroom
Flipchart for a Promethean IWB looking at probability. Uses the built in dice function to compare experiment with theoretical values.
Good sequence will help scaffold learning. Good use of the inbuilt dice tool to produce data. Links to some good resources including an online tool that helps generate lots of data quickly.
Apparently intended for age ranges from 11 through 18. Some of the exercises/examples may be seen as a little "young" for older students.
Flipchart for a Promethean IWB looking at facts and inferences. These flipcharts are interactive with an embedded video and learner response questions .
Good sequence will help scaffold learning.
For age ranges from 4 - 8.
Age bracket - Prep- Year 2
Science - English learning area
I think this is great, especially as it has the Hungry caterpillar story incorporated as well as using the video story you could use the hard copy of the book as well great theme for the lessons. The only problem I see having is if there are any technology issues with the whiteboard to prevent from using. Otherwise I think this is an excellent resource.
I just completed my assignment 2 on year 4 science.. I thought this was rather fitting. I like how it has numerous games that containers audio aswell. Only problem I can see is that it clearly wouldn't work if the IWB or the stick wasn't working.
A cool selection of IWB resources for early childhood classrooms. I checked out Fuzzy Lion Ears & it's fun and fits nicely with the curriculum too (always a good start!).
