Interactive Whiteboards for Education and the use of Interactive Whiteboards in schools, colleges, universities and training. Currently, nearly 80% of high schools and 90% of primary schools in the UK have Interactive Whiteboards installed in their classrooms.
Interactive Whiteboards for Education and Training aims to be one of the first high quality collections by a recognized international press on this major subject of relevance to instructors across the educational spectrum, from schools to universities and training organizations.
Whichever multi-media activity, video, ppt presentation or website you want to show your students, it looks simply great. However, for this very reason, the danger of having the board as the main focus of everyone’s attention in the classroom cannot be lightly dismissed.
Now, The fact is that whiteboards depends on the way we use them. The activities we propose using WB should lead to greater student involvement and participation and actually their use should become something so integrated to our lessons and so naturally used that we almost *forget* that we are using it. It seems to me that we shouldn't make such a fuss of whiteboards- just give them their proper space in the classroom as we should give to books, media video or other more traditional tools.
