Things to consider• When will the IWB support and enhance learning?

• How might it best be used to model and demonstrate thinking?

• Can it be used to promote active learning?

• Can you think of ways it can make learning more explicit?

• Which strategies stimulate interactive teaching?

• Which strategies encourage feedback from pupils?

Directed taskUse your blog to reflect on using IWBs in schools and share your resource. Relate your thinking to current developments in digital technology.
