Interactive Whiteboards: An interactive whiteboard is a board that is displayed either by attaching it to the wall or on a display stand. A computer is connected to a projector which projects the computer screen onto the board. The person can then interact with the board either with a pen, finger, or other device.
Are Interactive Whiteboards Necessary?
The boards seem to have people on opposite sides. I think that the point that the teacher is up in front of the classroom and that states of sense of being in charge is true. Sara saying that the kids can go up and interact with a regular white board do not sure why the board is so special. I see a major problem with the interactive whiteboard is the cost and if a teacher has to put it out themselves most would choose the least costly. The discussion has so many alternatives and different technologies to explore with a range of costs so it would all depend on the school and who's paying for it.
How are you using your classroom Smartboard?
The teachers seem to use this more as a tool for the whole class to explore and play games on. The smartboard is used as a tool for the class to explore things all together. It also seems to be used as a tool for the kids to be able to play games on and the teacher be able to keep an eye on. According to the teachers the students seem to be even more engaged in learning when they are able to use the smartboards.
