How do you use your Interactive Whiteboard?
Quick brainstorm
Becta: “In order to take full advantage of the technology the teacher needs to combine knowledge of the subject,an understanding of how students learn, and a range of teaching strategiesalong with skilful manipulation of the Technology”
It can be a window on the world
(and other worlds)

Enhanced Interactivity
Miller, D, Glover, D & Averis, D; 2005, Developing Pedagogic Skills for the Use of Interactive Whiteboards in
Mathematics.
Three pedagogic phases ofIWB use:
Teachers who used IWBs most effectively were in the enhanced interactivity phase. These teachers used techniques to:
“offer the same idea in different ways until … all the group understand, and this requires meticulous planning and the need for continuous assessment so that whether answering at the IWB or on their own whiteboards, whether using individual or small group work, and whether working on examples or investigations, pupils are challenged not only to say what but also why”
Miller, Glover & Averis 2005
Where teachers were working at the enhanced interactivity phase, three underlying principles seemed to be present:
• 1. The technology was used to support a lesson structure based on an introduction or starter, a developmental phase based on a sequence of learning incidents, and a plenary to review learning and contribute to metacognitive learning of the subject.
• 2. Most teachers were undertaking lesson planning that had a sequence of discernible cognitive aims and a series of activities to explore, develop, explain and reinforce both developing concepts and subsequent understanding.
• 3. There was a high level of teacher recognition that pupils learn in different ways and the IWB was used to promote diversity of aesthetic, verbal, numeric and kinaesthetic experiences
