What is an ‘Interactive
Whiteboard’?
A large interactive display’, which ‘connects to a
computer and projector’. The projector transfer’s
the computers desktop onto the whiteboard’s
surface, where teacher or students can then control
and manipulate it using either a whiteboard pen or
stylus or simply by using their finger.

RationaleThe Interactive Whiteboard takes the everyday classroom teaching aide ‘the whiteboard’ and brings it into the world of ICT. The progress from the blackboard and chalk to where we are now with the Interactive White board has the potential to question ‘Is this a step in the right direction in education’. It has the capacity to take away some of the role of the teacher or the ability to excite children through learning.

My Position
I am for the ‘Interactive White Board’ in the classroom. The reasons for this I will extend upon as we continue into this presentation. I will use the information gained through my on-line survey and research information to conclude an overall understanding of the Interactive White Board in the audience of you the pre service teacher and informed professionals.
What You Said!!
100%Of you have seen Interactive
White Boards in the classroom 87.5%Of used an Interactive White Board before.

Promoted Pedagogies‘Kid Magnet’
(Dr. Mary Ann Bell, 2002) Collaborative Learning• Student’s can work together at the same time on the whiteboard
• Teacher and students can contribute to the learning through interactive lessons and games which are able to be utilised with the Interactive Whiteboard.
Substantive Conversation• Constant interaction among students and with
the teacher• Reciprocal interactions promoting clear
understanding and enhance participation.
• Interaction with the whiteboard adds new
dimension.
ALLOWS FOR:• Student direction• Social Support• Academic engagement• Inclusivity• Connectedness to the world
What other pedagogies can be brought to the classroom through the use of the Interactive White Board?

Context for Learning
• As a learning Tool – To introduce/reinforce new skills, techniques or information.
• As formative assessment – Keep a check of student progression and knowledge retention.
• During the morning for morning routines and student settle-ins after lunch breaks to wind back down.
• Source of information – U Tube clips and internet searches.

Classroom & Student Organisation
How I would engage the students• Interoperability – Communicating with other
classes in Australia or around the world. Through e-Pals students can work with others in different locations.
• Students to research information on the internet via the white board. Gain different perspectives eliminating teacher bias.
• Creating – Sites such as SCRATCH allow students to create their own learning games.

Assistive TechnologyWhat do you think of
when you hear the words ‘Assistive
Technology?’
Definition:Equipment used to assist in the classroom to ‘maintain or improve the functional capacities of children with disabilities’ (Turbull 2002, p 418)
OTHER ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY TOOLS• Screen-magnification software increases the size of text and graphics on a screen for
users with low vision.• Hearing-related technology, such as FM systems, assist people with hearing
impairment.• Talking calculators that speak aloud as keys are pressed.• Music-transcription software such as Toccata, which transcribes music into BrailleSource: CATS – Creating Accessible Teaching and Support.
Legal & Ethical Considerations
• Plagiarism – Taking credit for other peoples work online through copy and paste or through unauthorised access or burning of video clips or other online media sources.
• Sharing – Photo’s of students or student work online without prior consent from students or their parents.
• Students misuse of whiteboard – lack of supervision of connected computer can lead to online misuse from students towards others or themselves.

My Reflection using – The TPACK Framework
Using the TPACK Framework as a guide to reflection in relation to the Interactive White Board’s (IWB) effectiveness in the classroom. To be a positive inclusion in the classroom the following is needed….. • Tk - The teacher’s ability to work and guide the children through the IWB
safely and effectively.• Pk – Using methods, values and aims to get the best outcome from your
students. Understanding the learning styles that exist in your room and developing a program to cater to these needs.
• Pc- Understanding what you are teaching and the way it needs to be taught to students so they get the best understanding out of the lesson. Using the IWB when it best suited and not because it is easier. This point also overlaps into TC sector – with knowing what technology best suits the lesson.
• TPK – bringing all these together means that your classroom is getting the best out of technologies implemented to accompany your content and personal pedagogies.
