Interactive white boards (IWB) is a form of technology/apparatus
which I only recently discovered after doing some research on these phenomenal teaching
devices. Let me tell you what, these things are the future of teaching I believe.
IWB’s incorporate the ongoing conflictions of old-school and new-school
pedagogy. This is a white board on steroids. For those old horse teachers whom
still believe in the good old chalk board instead of PowerPoints, this is a
device you are encouraged to master.
The IWB has the ability to save all work which you have written down which can be very advantageous when critically analysing lessons that you have conducted. It gives learners the opportunity to interact with the whiteboard while at the same, utilizing and mastering technology based devices which will be beneficial for the child’s future.
I firmly believe that the potential for IWB is massive, especially due to the fact that so many schools are starting to rely heavily on digital pedagogy. This large piece of apparatus allows for a mutual ground for both old and new school teachers whom are strict believers in the trusty old chalk board. I feel that IWB’s not only have huge potential in the educational sector but also I see major success with their use in the business industry.
The IWB allows teachers to be able to (without effort) get learners to interact with something new and something with which children nowadays are familiar with, being technology. Teachers can perform tasks similar to what a normal chalk board would with addition to so many more new and exciting functions (e.g. change fonts and sizes of text, share with computers, save work that was written/drawn on board etc.)
I really do like the whole idea of the IWB and after some research and information sourcing, I am very excited to possibly someday learn how to use one. This would be very supportive of my new-school teaching style. IWBs are the future of effective teaching.
