INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD TECHNOLOGY

FEATURES:• Interactive whiteboards allow for a variety of learning resources to be used at the

same time, including videos, songs, pictures, plus interactive games and files;

• The whiteboard pen allows teachers and students to write or erase directly on the screen, create graphs and tables, and student opinion polls;

• The mosaic screen feature allows teachers to display four to five different screens at once on the board to maximise learning capabilities;

• Interactive whiteboard use reduces our carbon footprint as we no longer need to hand paper copies out to students, instead encouraging note-taking and therefore strengthening English language skills.

At Imagine, we are entering our sixth year using interactive whiteboards. For five years, we have been the only school to be fully-equipped in this technology and we pride ourselves on being one step ahead of the rest as we have learnt to fully utilise this technology in all of our classrooms. Interactive whiteboards have changed our entire way of teaching for a more interactive and satisfying learning experience!
