Week 9 – IWB

I believe I have a good experience with IWB’s as I have supported Interwrite, Teamboards and Smartboards in my current role as a systems administrator and have found these to be relatively similar. The current technology we have implemented is the Epson interactive projector, that uses a normal whiteboard with infrared sensors sensing movement, they are fantastic resources for the classroom, have a look at this clip to see what they can do.

This being said I have had limited access to using IWB in my pedagogical practice as my last three placements either didn`t have an IWB or didn`t have the cables to use the resource. I look forward to utilising them further in my practice as I believe using IWB has the potential to increase students’ understanding through the use of all semantic features and the opportunity for the students to take part and explore.

Thanks to Rebecca Davis and Samantha Jaeger for sharing her thoughts and links to help me.
