Article On Interactive Whiteboard

Its all about the new way of learning and for professional meetings solutions

Display screen technologies revitalize whole professional meetings with the traditional blackboard replaced by a new focal point.
Display screen technology aims to enable access to, and use of, digital resources for the benefit of the whole class while preserving the role of the tutor in guiding and monitoring learning. Areas of application and use include:
Using web-based resources in whole-class teaching
Showing video clips to help explain concepts
Demonstrating a piece of software
Presenting students work to the rest of the class
Creating digital flipcharts
Manipulating text and practising handwriting
Saving notes written on interactive boards for future use
Quick and seamless revision

An electronic whiteboard is a very useful presentational device. It can be used to replace virtually every other class resource, traditional and modern: a blackboard, a flip chart, an OHP, maps, pictures, number lines, books, calculators and cassette and video players for example. At a touch the lecturer has access to a bank of resources that would previously have taken years to accumulate and a vast cupboard to store them in!
But the electronic whiteboard has the potential to do much more – to go beyond display, providing a tool for interactive teaching and learning. Of course, not all learning is interactive. Students may be learning when they read text, study a map or watch a video. The trouble is from the lecturer’s point of view the nature of this learning cannot be observed. We cannot see whether our students are understanding or internalizing the ideas being presented to them.
The electronic whiteboard is an even more powerful stimulus to interactivity because:
Everyone can write on it and changes can be saved – this gives shared ownership
It has high visual impact – creating a theatrical effect in the class
It facilitates better group control/management – the lecturer is up front facing the group
It makes a wide range of resources instantly available
Presentations etc can be annotated – by lecturer and students
It engages students – getting them moving and participating and improving behaviour
It facilitates concept mapping – items can be moved around the screen
It supports discussion (on the topic) and peer learning
Lecturers and students enjoy using it.
