The Engaging Classroom: Interactive White Board Technology
Pedagogical Usefulness • Comparing and Contrasting• Graphic Organizers• Demonstrations• Presentations• Recording & Playback (feedback)• Student Interactivity (mathematics, science,
social studies)• Interactive formative & summative
assessment
Comparing & ContrastingStudents can show similarities by annotating over the main board with electronic pens
Students can similarly annotate differences at the main board electronically
Graphic Organizers
IWBs allow student interaction at the actual graphic on the board with an
electronic pen or an electric wand…
thus involving the student in movement, action, and learning…
while still allowing the teacher to control with a blutooth active slate or remote board…
Causes of the 9-11 Attack
Student and teacher interactivity: Demonstration & Presentation
Teachers & students can manipulate digital objects, demonstrate math
concepts or equations, and present their own lessons
Video streaming and audio playback
Interactive Formative and Summative Assessment and Data
Generation
Students can electronically respond to projected questions and the data can then be exported to an Excel spreadsheet and displayed in a bar graph allowing instant
feedback
IWBs Allow for Videoconferencing
Class to class, class to expert… From one culture to
Another…
IWBs and Student Achievement A 2007 British Education Communications and Technology Agency (BECTA) study, reported by Schachter (2010) made the following findings:
•100: Percentage of students who were enthusiastic about having an IWB in
their classrooms.
•2: Number of years it takes for a teacher to "embed the interactive
whiteboard in their pedagogy” (p. 57).
•2 to 3: Ideal number of children working on the whiteboard at one time. (In
classrooms with multiple users, all children made significant and measurable
gains.)
•7.5: Months of additional progress in science made by boys who are
struggling learners when IWBs are used extensively.
•2.5: Months of additional progress in writing made by boys who are struggling
learners when IWBs are used extensively.
IWBs and Student Achievement (con’t)
Similarly, Marzano (2009) noted that using IWBs was associated
with a statistically significant gain in student achievement
•16% overall.
•26% gain where a student response device was used.
•26% gain where graphics and other visuals used.
•31% gain where IWB used to reinforce correct vs. incorrect
answers.
Mechling, Gast, and Krupa (2007) noted instruction of autistic
children via IWBs improved sight word recognition, perhaps
because of the large interactive surface.
Schweder and Wissick (2008) indicate a wide variety of uses for
IWBs in teaching all students, including inclusion students,
content area school to good effect.
Mini-Elmo Projection System
Slate System for total room control & use by teacher
Electronic Wands & Pens for student use at the IWB
Internet sites and Videoconferencing
Are now part of the IWB Pantheon
