Some Killer Interactive Whiteboard Resources for Teachers
Interactive whiteboards (IWBs) are a revolutionary form of interactive education rapidly increasing in popularity with many educational bodies across the world beginning to integrate interactive whiteboards into their schools.
Interactive whiteboards were initially received skeptically by academics, however after extensive trails in classrooms worldwide and countless studies on the subject - many schools are drawing the conclusion that interactive whiteboards can be extremely beneficial to children given their high levels of engagement.
In fact, interactive whiteboards have become so versatile that manufacturers are now allowing teachers to ‘create their own lessons’ to use on their operating systems, as well as share for free with other teachers.
Interactive whiteboard resource centres
As a result of IWB driven initiatives by the technological manufacturers, the appearance of IWB dedicated online communities has become quite widespread.
Now, there are a variety of online forums and support centres dedicated to the development and integration of interactive whiteboards into the educational community. This means free interactive whiteboard resources for teachers, and a subsequent increase in the number of lessons available to maintain the high levels of engagement expected out of the performance of interactive whiteboards in classrooms.
One such example of an online community dedicated to sharing IWB resources for teachers is the Hitachi Starboard forum, dedicated to members of the community who have adopted Hitachi starboards into their curricular activities.
