The Interactive Whiteboard



We certainly didn’t have these in my day….

What an incredible resource! When I was at primary school in the 90’s, the closest we came to using anything other than the blackboard was when the television would be wheeled in once a month. Then the ultimate challenge of man v machine would begin. If the teacher could remember how to turn the VCR on we would see the intended film, however more often than not machine won and we’d end up getting an extra PE lesson!

Today we got to experience some of the fantastic ways the interactive white board can support a lesson. From providing a huge range of pictures and games, to a ‘magic’ pen which can be used to write directly on the screen it was impossible not to appreciate benefits!

I can’t wait to be in a school and using this on a daily basis.

Here’s a video of some of the things you can do with it.
