Blog Entry 6- Interactive White Boards (IWB).
So lets get started with what you need to effectively teach using an interactive white board. The most vital components are; a computer, projector and the whiteboard itself. It is also important to have the appropriate software to present your lesson appropriately such as internet browser or word documents.
The interactive white board may come with a pen, this functions similarly to a mouse, enabling for you to select on the display. Otherwise some allow you to use your hand instead of a 'pen'.
The IWB may seem like a handy and useful appliance in a class room, but I believe they are only as good as the teachers who use them. This means, that it may or may not match the type of learning style of a teacher.
I also believe that the white boards are more useful in some subjects and less useful in others. For example in mathematics it's effective when needing to construct a complicated graph, whereas in history there is less that it has to offer to assist the teacher.
Having this resource may assist a teacher, however I don't think it will necessarily revolutionize the education system.
