The Thinking Digitally project helps teachers by investigating and trialling existing and emerging technologies as well as sharing innovative educational applications for integrating ICT in the classroom.
he following Seminar on IWBs was delivered at IST in Toulouse 2006 by Roy Huggins
One of the questions posed by several delegates at the E-Help Conference in Toulouse is what is the role of ICT in the classroom? The main thrust of my seminar was that teachers need to move away from seeing IWBs and ICT as a teaching or presentation tool to using it as learning tool to engage learners through interactive teaching styles.
PrimaryViewPoint is a resource for teachers designed to help you make the most effective use of the ICT presentation equipment that is being introduced into primary schools.
A series of six short video clips for use on interactive whiteboards, designed to enhance thinking skills and promote creativity amongst Key Stage 2 pupils.
The clips vary in style and mood, and aim to stimulate imaginations and generate discussion. The accompanying resources suggest classroom activities which can be used before or after viewing the clips.
Understanding the "Why" of any initiative should be a key step prior to implementation. Without a clear understanding of our "Why" how are we to judge the success of what we are implementing. How will we know which steps take us in the right direction if we have no concept of why we are journeying. In our implementation of ICT (Information & Communication Technologies) and now Digital Technologies, a lack of clarity on the matter of "Why" has often been the most significant challenge to success.
