  1. Interactive White BoardsDo They Positively Impact Education? By: Sheri Cooper& Lauren Townsend

  2. Advantages of IWBs

  3. Advantages for Students • Increased Participation • Increased Motivation • Opportunity to delve into complex and abstract subjects

  4. Advantages for Teachers • Flexibility • Multiple Resources • Reaches multiple and diverse students

  5. Disadvantages of IWBs

  6. Disadvantages for Students • Quickly lose appeal • Less time on content • One note lessons

  7. Disadvantages for Teachers • Technical Issues • Teacher Training • Shifts attention from student to technology

  8. Effectiveness of Smart Board Technology

  9. Effectiveness of Smart Board Technology • As a tool for non-linear learning • By accessing text and media • Ability to move back and forth among pages • Ability to present the same information in different ways

  10. Effectiveness of Smart Board Technology • Combines the benefits of interactive computer use with group learning • Internet access • Videos • Large screen

  11. Effectiveness of Smart Board Technology • As a tool for multi-modal teaching • Descriptive • Experimental • Mathematical • Figurative • Kinesthetic

  12. Effectiveness of Smart Board Technology • As a tool for teaching children with disabilities • Manipulatives • Auditory and Visual Cues • Interactive video • Various assessment strategies

  13. Effective Use of Smart Board Technology

  14. Effective Use of Smart Board Technology • Must have adequate training and time to find appropriate software • Provide incentives to increase IWB skills • Vendor training • In-service training • Tutorials • Cooperative learning among teachers

  15. Effective Use of Smart Board Technology • must be an integral part of the lesson, not something tacked on to be fun • Create lessons on the IWB • Use features in the software
