Using an IWB students and teachers can go to the board and make
annotations on it. On an IWB students and teachers can drag objects around like
text, pictures and shapes to match ideas and point out solutions. Using an IWB
students and teachers can drag scenes out of a video and have them pasted on
the board for later discussion. Using an IWB the teacher can stand at the board
interacting with the content and at the same time look the students in the eye
ready to react to any question or doubt.
An IWB needs to be effectively used to have an impact in
students achievement. The main difference of the IWB compared to other tools is
that the IWB has more potential to amplify good teaching. Having a technology
like an IWB in the classroom is like having a smartphone in your hands.
Suddenly everything is at your fingertips, concentrated in just one place. One
of the most difficult things for teachers is to be aware of that and know how
to use all this potential when it’s most appropriate. Here is where practice
and good teaching comes in. Only with practice can a good teacher become savvy
in the use of IWB and use it to it’s full potential.
