The tutorials that make up this workshop series will attempt to answer some of the many questions that instructors have about using an interactive whiteboard in their classroom:
- What types of interactive whiteboards are there and how do they work?
- What are the benefits of using an interactive whiteboard, both for my students AND for me?
- How do I get started creating engaging, authentic IWB activities to use in my own classroom?
- Where can I find communities of educators who are using the same kind of interactive whiteboard that I use?
Whether you have a SMART Board™, Promethean ActivBoard®
, or some other type of device or software application that allows you to build interactivity into a presentation, you should find something of interest in this workshop. Be sure to download the reference document that accompanies this tutorial series for a list of additional resources, including links to user communities, example activities and lessons, and continuing professional development opportunities related to interactive whiteboard use.
