This document provides examples of how interactive technologies like interactive whiteboards and Schoolpads can be integrated into secondary school curriculum lessons. It shows an English lesson on Shakespeare where students use the interactive whiteboard to brainstorm, research aspects of Elizabethan England, and present mini-seminars. It also outlines a Merchant of Venice lesson where students use the board for pre-reading activities, mapping events while reading, character analysis, and text discussion. The examples aim to increase student engagement and appeal to different learning styles while encouraging higher-order thinking skills.

1. Embedding Interactive Technologies into your Teaching & Learning Abstract: This interactive session takes you through ways in which a Schoolpad or an Interactive Whiteboard can be used in a number of secondary curriculum areas. We look at how interactive technologies can be used to manage learning; increase engagement; encourage higher order thinking and appeal to a range of learning styles.
