Pedagogical Usefulness • Comparing and Contrasting• Graphic Organizers• Demonstrations• Presentations• Recording & Playback (feedback)• Student Interactivity (mathematics, science,

social studies)• Interactive formative & summative

assessment

Page 3: The Engaging Classroom: Interactive White Board Technology

Comparing & ContrastingStudents can show similarities by annotating over the main board with electronic pens

Students can similarly annotate differences at the main board electronically

Page 4: The Engaging Classroom: Interactive White Board Technology

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…

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
