Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? Hopefully I didn’t miss any references. Most images were from the creative commons on Flikr. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? All good reads 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? I actually changed this slide in my presentation to read "...it’s the Teacher" because, after all, the teacher drives the pedagogy. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? Too high in early education classrooms and the students will need a step. Too low in secondary classrooms and the bottom half of the board is invisible to students sitting at the back. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? Otherwise staff will remain in the "trough of disillusionment" 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? You can look at the slide from two viewpoints: 1) A lot of professional development feels like jumping through hoops 2) The dog looks happy and knows that it will get a treat or a pat if it does the right thing. We should accept the reward of knowledge gained. The text box linked to an embedded video, you can see below: It pokes fun at people who have difficulty with technology but I also see positives: The guy from helpdesk is very patient and doesn’t make the client feel stupid; the client is not afraid to ask questions and keeps trying what he has learnt. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? I love the poetic nature of this graph. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? Still early days for IWBs and there hasn’t been much done in the way of long term longitudinal studies. I suspect that the technology will move on before they get done. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? Within a couple of weeks my students took the IWB for granted. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? IWBs can speed up things for better or worse. Higher ability classes tend to benefit more from the increased pace. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? So much better than sitting behind the desk. When you are up at the board showing the students how to harness the latest web 2.0 app it is much easier for them to follow your hand rather than a cursor. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? I take every opportunity to harness Wikipedia for good in my classroom. Despite the bad press it sometimes gets it is a brilliant secondary source. It is our job to teach the students critical literacy and discrimination when it comes to sources 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? This is what I found in the readings and by observation. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? The text box links to a short Youtube clip of a student editing some video on the IWB. It was posted on www.classroom20.com by a teacher who made a comment along the lines "IWBs are good for interaction!". All it is is a student using standard software on the big screen, but it is all about the *perception* 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? Again, this is the vendor’s stance in my experience. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? i.e. It should be about the thinking 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? This is exactly the kind of thing that vendors promote as ’interactive’. In a class of 25 secondary students having one student at the board is not going to engage the other 24 for long. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? An example of a ’disruptive innovation’ is the advent of digital music downloads. Music got cheaper and the music labels are still trying to catch on. Are IWBs a disruptive innovation? I don’t think so. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? Yes. Yes. Yes. Or if not a chalkboard a wireless tablet or large pieces of paper with coloured markers or individual computers depending on the task. 2 years ago
Jason de Nys commented on IWBs in the Secondary: Where is the Interaction? Is the IWB as big a paradigm shift as the blackboard? Not by a long shot. Is having a data projector and fast internet connection? Yes, definitely. 2 years ago
