Interactive Boards From Transmission to Transformative Learning: Using Interactive Boards to Transform Teaching and Learning Diallo Sessoms, Ph.D. Instructional Technology Salisbury University
Objectives You will be able to… Create differentiated lessons Think interactively about lessons Understand implications for integrating IB Locate & link interactive, web-based resources
Conceptual Framework • Transformation • Learning theory: Constructivist? • Intersection between students, teachers, and technology
IB Use • Early adopter • Develop philosophy • Access technologies • Willingness to change • Community of practice
Levels of Use Supported didactic Use only as visual support Interactive Challenge pupils to think by using a variety of verbal, visual and aesthetic stimuli Enhanced Interactive Change of thinking and uses IB as an integral part of teaching Integrates concept and cognitive development
Why Interactive Boards? Potential transformation (Burden, 2002) Influence learning process (Cradler,McNabb, & Burchett, 2002) Sharing work helps students articulate their ideas and give explanations (Levy, 2002) Awareness of preferred learning styles (Miller, Glover, & Averis, 2005) Intersection between technical and pedagogic interactivity(Smith, 2005)
Teacher Interactivity • Implement virtual tools • Manipulation of objects • Create & implement • Provides students with feedback & graphic representation of difficult concepts • Classroom movement – not stuck at front
Student Interactivity • Asking questions • Explain processes • Create/present knowledge • Explore interactive content
Differentiation with the IB • Changing pace, level or kind of instruction • Create multiple options for… Taking in information Making sense of ideas Expressing what they learn (Tomlinson, 2001)
Developing an IB lesson • Analyze the degree of challenge and variety in your current instructional plans • Modify, adapt, or design new approaches to instruction in response to student’s needs, interests, and learning preferences
Developing an IB lesson 1. Content Learning Objectives Content Interaction Student Demonstrations 2. Process Teacher/Student Actions Teacher-student Interaction Access (resources & content)
Developing an IB lesson 3. Product Demonstrate knowledge Visual/spatial/kinesthetic 4. Relative Advantage Enhanced Lesson or Add-on Accessing Resources 5. Assessment Formative Informal [Affects the speed of learning]
Resources • Smarttech • Tangrams • Student Needs • Virtual Manipulatives • Smartboard Resources • Differentiated Instruction Handouts
