IWB
An interactive whiteboard (IWB), is a large interactive display that connects to
a computer.
A projector projects the
computer's desktop onto the board's surface where users control the
computer using a pen, finger, stylus, or other device. The
board is typically mounted to a wall or floor stand.
They are used in a variety of settings, including classrooms at all levels of education, in corporate board rooms and work
groups, in training rooms for professional sports coaching, in broadcasting studios, and others.
We learned about interactive whiteboard in TECH2108
course (Educational Technology for Children). I was
interested to know about IWB because I heard about it before generally ,I would like to know how it work and how the teachers use it
in their classes. After we took the theoretical class about interactive
whiteboard we took the practical class in
active inspire program . then the instructor asked us to design a lesson for
kids using active inspire and present in the class by using IWB . I really liked
this experience and I think that it is useful way to teach children by using technology because
interactive whiteboard allows children to be more focused and engaged .
I
trained in child care center ( CCC ) in SQU and I noticed that teachers use different
ways in teaching ,however they do not apply technology in their teaching .
after I knew about the technology of the interactive whiteboard I suggested for
them to have it and use it in group activities . It will be effective for
children because as you know children prefer using technology so they will be
more active.
Also in the government schools the ministry of education applies the interactive whiteboard in one school in
Oman which is Thuriya AL-Busaidi school in Muscat . I asked a teacher in this
school about the advantages of this technology .she said that she is very happy
that the ministry of education has chosen her school to apply this new technology
. she added that education becomes more effective when they use interactive
whiteboard . also she said the students concentrated on the lesson more than
before because they participate with the teachers in teaching. also I asked
my sister who is a student in grade nine in this school about how she benefits
from interactive whiteboard in her school ,she said that the teachers always ask
students to do their presentation using active inspire program and that allows
her to be like a little teacher .
These
are some examples of Thuriya AL-Busaidi teachers lessons:
