The Interactive White Board

Until recently while acknowledging the role ICT could play in the classroom, I was also very very sceptical about this tool known as an IWB.

But the learners love it, I've never found something which so quickly and lead them from a path of distraction and individual pursuit to a steady focus and actual positive learning experiences.

Our class of grade ones has quiet a diverse range of both personalities and learning types, which is hindered by a very broad education standard which the students come from. On their best day it's beautiful but on a slightly agitated day, it can be very hard to engage them and to calm them after activities such as morning play or second lunch, or music, or sport or assembly :)

The IWB can do this and so much more...
