C. Pedagogical Practices Using IWBs
Does the IWB make the teacher more interactive?
In defining the task of the teacher as a “learning moderator,” the assumption is that the teacher will use fewer frontal instructional methods and will alter instruction to be more dynamic and interactive.
The most meaningful method of instruction that produces the best results is when knowledge is constructed in an active way, using interaction in the social space.
As a presentation tool, when used properly, the IWB suggests a dynamic, varied, multi-faceted, and expressive type of instruction, all while saving and retrieving information in a relatively simple manner, something that can potentially reduce the workload on teachers, and allows students varied opportunities to learn complex concepts. also claims that meaningful learning is an outcome of the interaction between the learners and the teachers when the two sides contribute to the interaction.
IWBs can serve as an effective tool to encourage interaction between learners and the learning material, using teaching methods that include presenting the material in a variety of ways.
