  2. Robert Marzano • “Interactive whiteboards are the future of educational strategies, and without proper adoption of these and other technology tools, teachers are doomed to become dinosaurs in their practices.”

  3. What is a Interactive whiteboard? An interactive whiteboard (IWB), is a large interactive display that connects to a computer and projector. A projector projects the computer's desktop onto the board's surface where users control the computer using a pen, finger, stylus, or other device. The board is typically mounted to a wall or floor stand.

  4. INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD TIMELINE

  5. Why Teachers Need to Use an Interactive Whiteboard?

  6. T H E O R I G I N S O F S M A R T I W B THE ORIGINS OF THE INTERACTIVE WHITE BOARDS In 1986, David Martin and Nancy Knowlton were driving through upstate New York when David first described a product idea he'd been working on to Nancy. A year later, SMART was founded. Originally, the company was the Canadian distributor for a U.S. projector company, and revenue was generated through projector sales. That revenue was directed toward the research and development of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard. The first interactive whiteboard was introduced by SMART Technologies to the consumer market in 1991. Upon its release, the SMART board became the first interactive board to set the feature of incorporating touch control of computer applications as well as annotation over basic Microsoft Windows programs.

  7. The origins of interactive Whiteboards • In 1992, SMART formed a strategic alliance with Intel Corporation, which resulted in joint product development, joint marketing efforts and Intel's equity ownership in SMART. Other than the Intel equity investment and some small investments from family and friends, the company relied on its retained earnings to fuel growth in these early years. • That relationship with Intel was one of the key building blocks in SMART's history. • In 1992, SMART formed a strategic alliance with Intel Corporation, which resulted in joint product development, joint marketing efforts and Intel's equity ownership in SMART.

  8. Intended Audience Interactive Whiteboards Interactive Whiteboards were introduced as an innovating presentation tool to classrooms at all levels of education, to corporate board rooms and work groups, to training rooms for professional sports coaching, in broadcasting studios and others.

  9. Commercialization/ Promotion SMART Showcase Schools • Smart Technologies promotes the adoption of SMART boards by setting SMART board systems into “Showcase Classrooms” to large School Districts. These “Smart showcase classrooms” demonstrate how SMART products can transform classrooms and improve learning outcomes. They serve as host sites for educators who are interested in implementing SMART products – and receive benefits, including professional development opportunities. Become a SMART Showcase School and share your success story.

  10. Interactive White Boards Vs.Traditional Tools(The Research) • Robert Marzanorecently divided 85 • educators into two groups: • One taught a lesson to students using • interactive whiteboards and the • other taught the same lesson using • standard, more traditional tools. His • data was undeniable:

  11. Results INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD WINS MARZANO’S FINAL THOUGHTS • Immediateincrease of 17%in scores. • If a teacher had been given 20-30 months to hone his or her skills, there was an average 20 percentile gain. • If a teacher had used it for two years, and did so 75 %of the time. That profile shows a whopping 29 percentile gain in scores. “Beyond this sweet spot, dragons await in the form of diminishing returns in improved student scores, thus proving, he adds, that you clearly "can't take the human being out of teaching”(Marzano).
