WHY USE AN INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD?

- Supports the learning objectives for the lesson

- Possible to achieve what was otherwise not possible

Ideal conditions:

An experienced teacher

Who has been using the IW for 2 years

Who uses it about 75% of the time

Who has had enough training to be confident in using the IW

MARZANO FINDINGS:

Proper use of the technology includes:•Keeping a clear focus on the content rather than on transition effects•Use formative assessment while teaching – do the children understand•‘Response rate’ – consider approach to questioning - ActiVote

INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD – REPLACEMENT STAGE

Refer to article ‘From replacement to transformation’

Link

Replacement:•Familiarization - shown how to use IW but no experience •Utilization – used as replacement for OHP or flipchart •Replacement - The Teacher uses the ability to annotate on screen, improve clarity of text and save changes to work. If there are technical problems the teacher would readily stop using the IW as the perceived value added isn’t sufficient.

 Term 1, S2 to find examples, in fiction and non-fiction, of words and phrases that link sentences, e.g. after, meanwhile, during, before, then, next, after a while  - The teacher shares, deconstructs and annotates text on screen.

• Integration – ‘breakthrough stage’ where IW is integrated into lesson planning and everyday teaching

• Reorientation – the teacher is beginning to explore the potential offered by the IW technology

• Evolution - • continue to evolve and adapt learning and teaching

experiences across the curriculum using IW • able to provide support for different learning styles • open to new ideas and developments• searching for new strategies to improve the quality of

the children’s learning experience• teacher has developed a flexible environment

responsive to the needs of individual children
