STAFF DEVELOPMENT ON USE OF ELECTRONIC WHITEBOARD
Eileen Gartside
What’s This?
• Installed in two classrooms but nobody knows how to use it!
THE PLAN
• Teach myself how to use it• Use it with Certificate in Education/ PGCE
students• Hold two staff development sessions to pass
on basic knowledge• Staff to contribute own ideas of how to use
it as a resource in own classes
THE BEST WAY TO LEARN IS TO TEACH OTHERS!
First Attempt!
Getting Better
........... and better
A Biology A Level teacher identifies an important bone!
The “Reveal” tool
An Additional Learning Support Tutor uses the “drag and drop” facility
Using the Floating keyboard to search the Internet
Supporting Documents
• Basic Instructions booklet• Basic Ideas• More advanced ideas
Documents placed on “Moodle” for access by all staff
Lessons learnt!
• It’s not difficult, but requires practice and knowledge of what it can do
• Not a good idea to use it with students until competent
• A powerful visual learning tool with opportunities for student interaction and engagement
• Staff need much more practice and access to the resource
