Using the interactive White Board in teaching and learning (Learner…

- - - - Drag and drop: an item on the board that can move in various directions.
      - Hide and reveal: an item located on top of others can be removed.
      - Highlighting: a clear color that can be placed on top of writing.
      - Animation: Items can be spun, change size, and move in a pre-determined direction.
      - Storage and recall: Unlimited storage and quick recall of material.
      - Feedback: When touching a particular item, there is visual or auditory feedback
- - - - The use of the IWB enhances motivation to learn, raises the level of concentration, improves behavior, and enhances learning because it is fun and innovate
        
        Students that learn with IWBs were more attentive and engaged in learning, participated more actively in the classroom and interacted much more with ther teachers, their peers and with the IWB.
        
        It could present some technical problems, that it is difficult to see the boards from a distance, and the teachers are not skilled enough in their use of the IWB
  - - - Information skills (literacy): Skills that relate to the ability to gather, edit, analyze, process, and connect information.
      - Higher order thinking skills: In particular, problem solving, critical thinking, and creative
        and entrepreneurial thinking.
        
        Communication and cooperation skills: The ability to work in a team, and to belong to
        various communities.
        
        Skills to use technological tools: despite the feeling that young people know how to do
        this.
        
        Learning skills: In particular, the development of autonomous learning.

        First Stage:
        
        Teachers match the new technology to existing pedagogy.
        
        Second stage:
        
        Teachers are involved with discovering new opportunities offered by these
        technologies.
        
        Third stage:
        
        Skilled teachers use the IWB in a professional and intuitive manner, which
        broaden or change their traditional pedagogy.

        Integration
        
        When the technology is integrated into the school and into the curriclum providing support to attaining the instructional goal in various subjects. Attention is also paid to ways to actively involve the students
        
        Transformation
        
        When the use of the technology adds value to the whole learning process. The teachers use and create a variety of learning resources that strengthen inquirybased learning processes. The learners become centrally involved in the use of the IWB
        through the active building of knowledge via interaction.
        
        Infusion
        
        The intent here is for the broader usage of this technology, such that the technology strengthens the existing instruction, primarily as a didactic tool, while learning is
        still mainly passive.
  - - - The IWBs allow more meaningful contact between learners and the content by simulation activities that are
        displayed in an accessible manner.
        
        The use of the boards adds a type of “theatrical tension” in the
        class and creates a more attractive learning environment.
- - - - Aside from greater enjoyment of learning, students report on the contribution of the IWB to their learning process, particularly on greater understanding of the material,
        greater interest and engagement in the learning process that is also expressed in a desire to be active participants in the lessons.
        
        Also, in order to maintain
        their level of engagement and their interest in learning, instruction via the IWB needs to be more challenging than just demonstrating simple assignments on the board and needs to develop higher thinking skills among students.
    - - Teachers noted that instruction via IWBs allows them to provide their students with tools that will help them learn in
        a more effective manner than in a traditional lesson.
    - - The majority of teachers and innovation leaders and a portion of the principals think that learning via the IWB can positively influence student achievements.
  - - - The teachers report that despite the difficulty of dedicating more time to preparing lessons, the upside is greater student interest, motivation, and focus, support for different learning styles (aural and visual), materials that are more easily adapted to students with
        varying abilities, planning a better lesson, presenting the learning material more clearly, and a feeling that that teachers are more up to-date.
    - - *It is important to train teachers to utilize the technology for new pedagogical purposes.
        *It may be helpful to establish a database of lessons and instructional materials that integrate various technological elements in order to ease the burden on teachers in preparing interactive lessons.
        *Adding smart classrooms in the school (at least 50% of the classrooms) may help create continuity in the innovative methods of learning and instruction for most of the students.
