WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT IWB’S!!!

“Students are easily engaged by the

interactive whiteboard and find the use of the technology exciting and empowering, especially

when they use it to show what they can do, and they are able to show their true abilities.”

(Jenny Pickering, 2011)

“Allow yourself to be creative with it, it will make you fall in love with your lessons all

over again. You'll really enjoy what you're

teaching.” Pamela Wheaton Shorr

““is excellent as a modelling tool and becomes in effect an

interactive modelling book. Through the interactive

whiteboard students are able to make connections to learning

goals and structuring of tasks to better understand what is expected of them.” (Hine

Viskovich,2011).
