  4. Who and Where • 18 student participants • 1 female teacher from Hong Kong with eight years experience • 2 researchers (trained language teachers) • Independent girls school located in Sydney, Australia

  5. Methodology • Classroom Observation • Student Survey • Focus Group Interview • Teacher Interview

  6. Results • Learning is: collaborative and co-constructive, motivating and engaging • Visually advantageous • Teachers attitude played a large part in adaptation to technology

  7. Implications • Small subject sample

  8. Limitations and Further Research • Some students perception of communicative skills on IWB stole their confidence. • Older students didn’t take this form of learning seriously • The age range created limitations (older-didn’t like and younger-loved it) • Further professional development for the instructor • Further development skills for the students in dialogic intercultural enquiry

  9. Critique • Well written and organized • True results in the form of tables and graphs • Great job of incorporating previous observations and claims about the topic

  10. Conclusion • Valuable study with quantitative and qualitative data that helps us understand effective teaching and learning • Framework to an information resource that is relatively new but rapidly being implemented into schools internationally. • Interactive pedagogy incorporated into the learning
