iwb's training pd howto

  • I believe that IWB’s are an asset to the classroom. They can seamlessly use web 2.0 applications to engage students in creative and constructive lessons for learning. The important element in this however is the training of the teacher using the IWB. Without training the user, the IWB becomes an expensive video projector or an expensive PowerPoint presentation tool or a very expensive hat rack.
  • with a pilot who had a 747 placed in his driveway as an incentive to fly a bigger plane without training?
  • Kids understand IWB’s and want to use them. It’s the adults who need to be brought along. Creativity should be the focus and remembering should be the support.

  • it is not because they had a 1-1 program in itself that made them so, but because they had a classroom culture of student inquiry, of research, collaboration, and on-line publishing, all of which were well supported by the laptops in students’ hands.
  •   “Laptop computers [would not be] technological tools; rather, [they would be] cognitive tools that are holistically integrated into the teaching and learning processes of their school.”
  • One of the best sections of this article speaks right to this, as it advocates schools to bring the students to the table: But it’s not just teachers who experts say must be involved in the 1-to-1 planning process—students should be, too.
