The interactive whiteboard takes the traditional classroom whiteboard and integrates information and communication technologies. It has the potential to both enhance and replace some of the teacher's role in exciting students about learning. The document discusses the progression from blackboards to interactive whiteboards and whether this represents a positive step for education. It also provides examples of how interactive whiteboards can be used to support learning across different subject areas through viewing videos, presentations, group work and internet research. Legal and ethical considerations around issues like plagiarism, privacy and appropriate student use are also addressed.

2. Rationale
The Interactive Whiteboard takes the everyday
classroom teaching aide ‘the whiteboard’ and
brings it into the world of ICT. The progress
from the blackboard and chalk to where we are
now with the Interactive White board has the
potential to question ‘Is this a step in the right
direction in education’. It has the capacity to
take away some of the role of the teacher or the
ability to excite children through learning.

3. My Position
I am for the ‘Interactive White Board’ in the
classroom. The reasons for this I will extend
upon as we continue into this presentation. I
will use the information gained through my on-
line survey and research information to
conclude an overall understanding of the
Interactive White Board in the audience of you
the pre service teacher and informed
professionals.

7. Context for Learning
• As a learning Tool – To introduce/reinforce
new skills, techniques or information.
• As formative assessment – Keep a check of
student progression and knowledge retention.
• During the morning for morning routines and
student settle-ins after lunch breaks to wind
back down.
• Source of information – U Tube clips and
internet searches.

8. Classroom & Student Organisation
How I would engage the students
• Interoperability – Communicating with other
classes in Australia or around the world. Through
e-Pals students can work with others in different
locations.
• Students to research information on the internet
via the white board. Gain different perspectives
eliminating teacher bias.
• Creating – Sites such as SCRATCH allow students
to create their own learning games.

11. Assistive Technology
Definition:
What do you think of Equipment used to assist in the
when you hear the classroom to ‘maintain or
words ‘Assistive improve the functional
Technology?’ capacities of children with
disabilities’ (Turbull 2002, p
418)
• Screen-magnification software increases the size of text and graphics on a screen for
users with low vision.
• Hearing-related technology, such as FM systems, assist people with hearing
impairment.
• Talking calculators that speak aloud as keys are pressed.
• Music-transcription software such as Toccata, which transcribes music into Braille

12. Legal & Ethical Considerations
• Plagiarism – Taking credit for other peoples work
online through copy and paste or through
unauthorised access or burning of video clips or
other online media sources.
• Sharing – Photo’s of students or student work
online without prior consent from students or
their parents.
• Students misuse of whiteboard – lack of
supervision of connected computer can lead to
online misuse from students towards others or
themselves.

15. My Reflection using – The TPACK
Framework
Using the TPACK Framework as a guide to reflection in relation to the
Interactive White Board’s (IWB) effectiveness in the classroom. To be a
positive inclusion in the classroom the following is needed…..
• Tk - The teacher’s ability to work and guide the children through the IWB
safely and effectively.
• Pk – Using methods, values and aims to get the best outcome from your
students. Understanding the learning styles that exist in your room and
developing a program to cater to these needs.
• Pc- Understanding what you are teaching and the way it needs to be
taught to students so they get the best understanding out of the lesson.
Using the IWB when it best suited and not because it is easier. This point
also overlaps into TC sector – with knowing what technology best suits the
lesson.
• TPK – bringing all these together means that your classroom is getting the
best out of technologies implemented to accompany your content and
personal pedagogies.
