Interactive Whiteboard



I have read the article on "The use of interactive whiteboards in school". The article consists of four parts which started with the introduction of the technical things such as projector,screen, remote operation and sound systems. It gives the overall view on the use of those technical things and how to operate with it. I think is useful for me as i myself do not really familiar on how to operate with all those things. At least i have some theoretical background about it.
The second part of the article tells about software that can be used for interactive whiteboards which are "IWB operating software", the support tools, the generics tools, interactive programmes and remote access. In my point of view, before using the interactive whiteboard, it is really essential to have knowledge of all of this softwares so that we can produce the lesson smoothly and effectively.
The third part is about the five levels of interactivity. It can help teachers to determine the level of interactivity of their lesson and how to make sure that their lesson are interactive enough.
The last part is about the twelve teaching techniques. These teaching techniques are the teachniques that can be applied using the interactive whiteboards.Some of the techniques are hard to be used in a usual classroom but the interactive whiteboards allow the teachniques to be used and it can ensure effective teaching and learning process.
After reading this article it give me some guidelines on how to prepare a lesson using the interactive whiteboards.
