IWB Preliminaries It looks like a normal board Enhance your teaching, not dominate Use the Internet Build on what others have done Don't hog the board – let the students use it
IWB Hardware – things to consider Don't use normal board pens (or chalk) Turn off the projector (not the PC) Use projector features (freeze/blank) Use colour! Ensure easy access to the IWB, keyboard, and mouse
Design of materials - guidelines Clear communicative purpose Learner-centred and learning-centred Motivating for learners Clearly defined learning goals Is the IWB the best way? Colour contrast/ font sizes Cognitive interactivity (drag and drop, hide and reveal) Allow space for students' contributions
