Interactive whiteboard

Hello .Today we talked about Interactive Whiteboards so I Googled a little bit about it. Since is a new technological item I wanted to see what it benefits were  . Here are some of them :

1. Makes It Easier for the Teacher to Structure Lessons

With interactive whiteboards, a teacher can easily formulate and plan for the lesson beforehand. He/she can schedule for specific learning tasks like labeling parts of a picture and matching words with their respective meanings. Students can understand how to handle naming tasks quite profoundly as the images are displayed right in front of them. While on the hand, teachers will have an easier time delivering on what they have on their lesson plan.

2. Makes the Learning Process More Fun

Nowadays, teachers in learning institutions are using LCD monitors displays together with shared whiteboards to deliver lessons. With such technology in class, every student will be anxious to try out how the board works. Images and presentations  are delivered in full HD display accompanied by interactive computer capabilities. Students in such learning environment will find syllabus coverage more fun and most of them won’t miss school or skip classes.

3. Increases the Level of Engagement between Teachers and Students

Instead on making the often boring one-way presentation, a teacher can use interactive  whiteboards   to engage every student in class. Whether it's learning vocabulary, pronunciation or exploring a research, students will find a lesson engaging if it integrates text, images, videos and/or audio files. For instance, a teacher can play an audio file to demonstrate the pronunciation of a word displayed on the board. Students will then be given a chance to pronounce other words to see whether they are correct.

4. Makes Review or Revision of Lessons More Convenient

One of the greatest benefits of using interactive whiteboards in the classroom is that it allows students to save lessons for later playback and/or review. Students can also record full lessons and share them with friends who weren't able to attend classes.

5. Allows Students with Various Disabilities to Learn Better

Each student in a class enjoys learning in different ways. While some are good auditory learners(able to learn better with audio), others are great visual learners. So including text, images, audio and video in a presentation allows everyone, including those with learning disabilities, to enjoy the lesson. Another benefit of using interactive whiteboard in the classroom is that it helps students with hearing impairment to benefit from visual presentation. Those unable to see partially or completely can also learn more about a given topic using audio presentation.

I hope you find those benefits interesting  .
