- 22. And the ResearchSays… Independent research has shown that, when used wisely, IWBs can produce a significant improvement to student learning. As teachers make the move towards e-teaching through the implementation of IWB technology, they should bear in mind that IWBs do need to be "used wisely," and this primarily means ensuring that the pedagogy underlying the technology is implemented soundly. The ERNIST ICT study found that IWBs were often the catalyst for teachers to replace existing practice with more interactive, constructivist approaches. Contributors to this study noted that the interactive technology tended to help teachers become even more innovative in the resources they were able to bring to students, and that students appeared to learn more effectively when presented with the wide range of stimuli that IWBs were able to bring before them.

- 25. The Role ofthe 21st Century Teacher In many ways, the role of a teacher in the twenty-first century has evolved away from being the "source of all knowledge" to being more of an "information architect" charged with the task of designing engaging learning pathways for their students. for their students.
- 26. The Importance of“Dragability” • The act of physically coming to the board, reaching out and instinctively grabbing the thing that needs moving and dragging it to a new location so that it connects with another idea, is a critical differentiating advantage of an IWB. • Dragability Demo

Editor's Notes
- #4 While choosing the products is an important step, the ultimate success of IWBs our classrooms is dependent on quality teaching and learning.
- #5 As we embark on this adoption we are looking for success with all staff and will provide the training and staff development to get everyone to see the potential of this technology.
- #17 Lessons are not prepared ahead of time – Limited use of the tool set – diagrams are still written – not taking adv or using interactive features – lessons are not saved at the end of class
- #18 Characteristics include: modifications of paper based activities to work on IWB – Greater use of notebook/flipchart lessons prepared in adv. – greater reliance on resources found in the gallery – greater use of dragability, layered objects – all lessons are saved and reused – lessons are shared with other teachers - noticeable increased engagement of students
- #19 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf0fgolX3cc CHARACTERISTICS INCLUDE: using short snippets of video or animation – inclusion of high resolution photos images – tapping into the enormous libraries of interactive objects – greater use of software to manipulate ideas to produce varying outcomes – demoing experiments - showing virtual worlds and simulated environments – students asking unexpected question for deeper understanding –real-time video use – using the voting or SMART response to real time answers to gauge understanding in real time
- #26 This idea of the teacher as a designer of learning makes the job of teaching much more than simply managing the flow of pre-made information from textbook to student.
- #27 The notion of dragability is a key to IWB use.Without dragability, an IWB is just a very expensive conventional teaching board.
- #28 Thenumber of ways this simple idea of hide-and-reveal can be used are almost limitless – Above is an example of layer 3 objects: text, a circle and the magnifying glass. After changing order, grouping and changing text color, layer produces a “magical” effect with the magnifier exposing the hidden text.
- #29 It’s a simple option that was never available with conventional teaching boards. The uses are many, perhaps endless: Examples: Lessons can be kept and reused for other classes, student’s interactions can be saved and retained for record keeping. Great Ideas can be easily captured mid-lesson.
- #30 IWB pens are used to write over other sources, annotating images and maps, highlighting text on web pages, calling out important sentences of using arrows to explain the flow of an idea. Many IWBs also offer some form of handwriting recognition tool capable of transforming handwritten script into fully editable font-based text.
- #31 If you can see it on your screen, the camera tool can grab it and bring it into your lesson immediately for showing, sharing and discussing.On most interactive boards, the same sort of access to a large library of clip-art type images also exists, but this usually extends to include photos, background images, videos, sounds, shapes, lines and interactive simulations.
- #32 A word of advice: learn to use the search function. The best method is to use "Search," not Browse One of the biggest differentiators between interactive board technology and anything that existed before it is the ease with which media can be included in a lesson.
- #33 It isn’t new, but now you can zoom in on photos and just narrow down the clip of video that is best. You can easily rewind, pause and replay and ANNOTATE – show 2 and contrast and compare.
- #34 There is plenty of standard personal computer software that can in fact be even more effective when used in a group situation on an IWB. The list of what software works on an interactive whiteboard is almost endless, since anything that works on your computer will work on the board.
