Smartboards...

Happy Halloween :)

Week two

This week we looked at smart boards and their endless uses and possibilities.

'Interactive or just whiteboards?' The smart board and how it is used within the classroom is often scrutinised. Maria Northcote critiques many teachers use (or lack of use) of the features of the smart board.

Benefits of using an interactive whiteboard:

• Developing discussion skills.
• Addressing different kinds of learning styles: visual, auditory, kinesthetic (tactile).
• Edutainment; holding attetention, stimulating, angaging, motivating
• Supportive for EAL, SEN children
• Developing literacy, ICT, thinking skills etc.
