Theme 7: Reading One

Smith. H., Higgins, S., Wall, K., & Miller, J. (2005). Interactive whiteboards: Boon or bandwagon? A critical review of the literature. Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 21, 91-101.

IWBs (or electronic whiteboards as they are perhaps more accurately called) are large, touch-sensitive boards, which control a computer connected to a digital projector. The benefits of IWBs for teaching include;
flexibility and versatility
multimedia/multimodal presentation
efficiency
supporting planning and the development of resources
modelling ICT skills, and
interactivity and participation in lessons.
