Educational Leadership:Multiple Measures:Teaching with Interactive Whiteboards - 8 views

shared by Tyler Hancock on 17 Jan 11 - Cached
  • in a study that involved 85 teachers and 170 classrooms, the teachers used interactive whiteboards to teach a set of lessons, which they then taught to a different group of students without using the technology (see Marzano & Haystead, 2009)

      What do you think about this statement?

      I'd like to see the results with more teachers, different aged students, different demographics, etc. to get a better idea. Maybe the increase would be even higher??
  • using interactive whiteboards was associated with a 16 percentile point gain in student achievement.

      This is a significant increase in student achievment!

      I agree, this says IWB are definitely worth the money in my opinion for students education

      I've read in other studies that elementary students achieve at higher levels than high school students with an IWB.

      Students are interested in things that look "fun". IWB activities are visually appealing.

      I feel like they will be finding similar results with interactive textbooks as they become more prevalent. Hmmm...this "interactivity" thing must be good for learning.
  • the use of graphics and other visuals to represent information
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Use of these aids was also associated with a 26 percentile point gain in student achievement
  • sites such as Google Earth

      I've never thought of using Google Earth -- that's interesting to use on IWB. I like it.
  • Using voting devices was associated with a 26 percentile point gain in student achievement.

      We now have SMART Response units in the classrooms where teachers have reqeusted them.

      From what i've heard from students in Minot, they love to use the responses. I think it would be so helpful to know as a teacher exactly who's got the material down and who is still struggling within seconds of use of the responses element

      My husband uses response units in his classroom and really appreciated the on task behavior of students as well as the quick way to check on student engagement
    • Amy Mann

      My students love to use these, but I think that you need to be careful not to use them as a "quiz" or "test" as they don't support the opportunity to reread, rethink questions, and change answers.
  • After asking a question and getting student responses using voting devices, the teacher should typically discuss the correct answer along with the incorrect answers, making sure to elicit opinions from as many students as possible.
  • Interactive whiteboards have great potential as a tool to enhance pedagogical practices in the classroom and ultimately improve student achievement.
    • KiMar Gartman
      KiMar Gartman on 02 Feb 12
       
      The improvement is due in large part to students remaining on-task since the information is being presented in a relevant, interesting manner. 
    • Christine Wolla
      Christine Wolla on 03 Feb 12
       
      I too find that students are more on task due to how well the material is presented.
    • Christine Wolla
      Christine Wolla on 03 Feb 12
       
      I also think teachers are more confident in their teaching when using IWB because the material is right in front of them.
    • Amy Mann
      Amy Mann on 03 Feb 12
       
      Students may be more engaged because things may be done in a more timely manner and easier to see. For example, when teaching measurement of an angle, it is SO easy to do on an IWB, but more tricky on a regular white board.

      IWBs are more engaging for me personally. I enjoy making interesting, interactive presentations and activities using Notebook. However, Notebook is kind of a glitchy turd sometimes, and that's really the only thing keeping me from using it more often. I hate to spend a couple hours on an awesome presentation, then have it all disappear into the ether because Notebook crashed and lost all my info. Still, fantastic tool, but I use it with trepidation.

      The ability for students to stay on task has greatly improved with my students as well when I use my smart board! I find them really answering and paying attention. I am also finding that as I become more confident in using it, my teaching really improves.

      Even the best technology must be handled wisely in order to be effective.
    • Christine Wolla
      Christine Wolla on 03 Feb 12
       
      Yes, I think just keeping the end goal of presenting the material in a way for the students to be able understand effectively.
    • Donalee Strand
      Donalee Strand on 03 Feb 12
       
      Great point, it is so true that no matter how wonderful our tools are, we still need to be responsible as educators to see that students are taught in the best manner.

      What is you  feeling about purchasing IWBs for classrooms?
    • April Zahn

      I think that every classroom should have an IWB. I use mine everyday and feel that every classroom, teacher and student could benefit from the use of one.

      I think they change our teaching in a great way. I think they are well worth the money.

      We were able to secure a grant through the ND Education Technology Council. The made the high cost of the boards less of a burden on the district. The teachers were nervous to use them at first. But now they love them!

      I would love to have one in my classroom but foreign language teachers are way down on the list. I ask for one every year, but nothing yet! I think I would make good use of it and the students would love the interactive activities. They are worth the money!
    • Amy Mann

      I love my activboard and don't know what I'd do without it! I think every teacher should have one!
    • Lindsay Wolfe

      It is where teaching is headed and all classrooms should be prepared by having an IWB.
  • Digital flipcharts should contain visuals, but those visuals should clearly focus on the important information.
    • April Zahn
      April Zahn on 03 Feb 12
       
      I think it is very important, some teachers can get caught up in a "pretty" appearance and forget about what the focus is.

      Would love to do a similar study in our school! Interesting to see that some results were that students did better without interactive voting devices. It proves that further study is almost always warranted to see results of a study!
    • Jim Geiermann

      I totally agree. yes it is good to make the charts visually interesting, but I often think we go overboard on this. The important part of it should be the information the students need to know
    • Tyler Hancock
      Tyler Hancock on 07 Feb 12
       
      I am guilty of a couple of these, mostly during my first year. It's understandable that more traditional teachers would be more effective using whatever they are used to using, as opposed to using an IWB.

    This is an interesting research article showing the value of interactive white boards in classrooms.

  • “When I went to school, computers were put in a room called The Lab,” Bellow said. “‘What are they experimenting with in there, I thought.’ Technology wasn’t built into what we were doing. It was farmed off in a room, like it was special.

      I have been opposed to "labs" for most of my career, other than curriculum labs where they are used every day for a class such as keyboarding. Teachers used to send their students to the computer lab, and then have them come back to their room where they would teach them math, reading, social studies, science the old fashioned way.

      I love having computers in my classroom this year. It is part of my classroom culture and can be spontaneous for learning. It was so frustrating to have to plan around using a lab.
