Project Description This study investigated pedagogy, attitudes, and school contexts in six schools in which interactive whiteboards are being used. The research questions that guided this study are the following: * What do teachers and students see as the value of using interactive electronic whiteboards in lesson designs and what beliefs do they hold about this technology and its relationship to learning and teaching? * What is the role of the school in promoting innovative use of the technology? What other contextual factors constrain or enhance the use of this technology in teaching and learning? * What learning outcomes are supported by the use of interactive electronic whiteboards in various Key Learning Areas? What learning tasks are associated with these outcomes? * What pedagogical approaches are being used with this technology? * What does reflection about good practice and insights provided by the cases suggest about principles of good practice using interactive electronic whiteboards? The study comprised a case study at multiple sites, four of them primary schools and two high schools, all in NSW. The schools were all DET schools and there were three in the metropolitan Sydney region, one in an urban area out of Sydney and two in a rural area. The study was a qualitative one, investigating perceptions and usage through interviews, focus groups, observations and document analysis.

This article reports on research into learner perceptions of interactive whiteboard (IWB) use in English as a foreign language classes. Students from several language centers in different parts of the world were asked about their opinion of learning in a class where an IWB is used. Responses were segmented, codified and certain categories identified. The results show a general appreciation of the introduction of new technology but suggest there is little in the way of an improved pedagogy being implemented that might immediately justify the investment. It is suggested that (i) there is unevenness in teacher preparation for IWB use, both in terms of techniques and pedagogy; (ii) IWB peripheral devices should not be seen as "peripheral" to classroom practice; (iii) involving students in discussion of the potential of the technology can aid the emergence of appropriate pedagogy which will help to offset the differing levels of teacher experience and training.

Interactive whiteboard technology can enrich the learning and teaching experience. However, using this technology - and using it well - may seem a little overwhelming. These research-based tips will help make its introduction and ongoing use in your classroom easy and effective.

This site offers a growing bank of imaginative, highly visual teaching-aids developed for use with interactive whiteboards in Schools. The resources are designed to be used as rich sources of visually stimulating material, making use of both animations and drag and drop interactivity. Categories include Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Scientific Literacy, Technology VnR modeling as well as a Teacher Guide category.

The Centre for Learning Innovation and RM Asia-Pacific Pty Ltd conducted an Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) trial with Easiteach software in five schools in South Western Sydney Region. The trial provides a valuable case study for investigating the impact of these technologies on teaching and learning.

Espaço educativo da NASA, onde se encontram aplicativos como: ----------------------- WORLD WIND - World Wind lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth. Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, World Wind lets you experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D, just as if you were really there. ------------------------- NASA SVS (Scientific Visualization Studio) has a collection of visually intense animations on a global scale as well as a variety of samples up close. These animations are accessable via any browser capable of using the WMS standard. ------------------------------- MATH TRAX - bridges the visual divide when it comes to modeling graphs ----------------------- What's the Difference is a highly accessible and a simple to use "compare and contrast" tool for students. It is easily customizable to go well beyond the included module that covers the Solar System. "Solar System Explorer" covers every planet in depth with important facts such as atmosphere, composition, diameter, distance to sun, gravity strength, and simulated views of the surface. --------------------- Virtual Lab completely emulates a scanning electron microscope and allows any user to zoom and focus into a variety of built-in microscopic samples. It also comes with a set of educational materials such as a demo on how a SEM works and movies of the real thing in action. Virtual Lab is freely available with a growing library of samples to choose from. --------------------------- CELSTIA EXPLORATION ACTIVITY

This collection of articles on aspects of interactive whiteboard use is by no means exhaustive but includes those case studies and reports that have shown us something of the way in which the technology can be effectively introduced. It has been put together by Derek Glover and Dave Miller of the Keele University interactive whiteboard research group (http://www.keele.ac.uk/depts/ed/iaw/).

"This site has a great collection of science experiments, games, science based activities and challenges. This is very engaging and educational site. It is interactive in nature and has a space themed animated look and feel."
