Today is 10 August 2009. We are learning about smartboard. We have been teaching by Dr. Sadiah on the Learning technologies (Interactive Whiteboard). Then, we had design constructive lesson that integrates interactuve whiteboard. Other than that, we also look through why and when to use interactive white board in teaching and learning and also to appreciate how smartboard makes teaching and learning more collaborative and interactive.
We also being excited when we first know about this whiteboard. Everyone will always ask what is interactive whiteboard?
An interactive whiteboard, or IWB, is a large interactive display that connects to a computer and projector. A projector projects the computer's desktop onto the board's surface, where users control the computer using a pen, finger or other device. The board is typically mounted to a wall or on a floor stand.
They are used in a variety of settings such as in classrooms at all levels of education, in corporate board rooms and work groups, in training rooms for professional sports coaching, broadcasting studios and more.
The interactive-whiteboard industry is expected to reach sales of $1 billion worldwide by 2008; one of every seven classrooms in the world will feature an interactive whiteboard by 2011 according to market research by Futuresource Consulting. In 2004, 26% of British primary classrooms had interactive whiteboards. The Becta Harnessing Technology Schools Survey 2007 indicated that 98% of secondary and 100% of primary schools had IWBs. By 2008 the average numbers of interactive whiteboards rose in both primary schools (18 compared with just over six in 2005, and eight in the 2007 survey) and secondary schools (38, compared with 18 in 2005 and 22 in 2007).
Uses for interactive whiteboards include:
1) Operating any software that is loaded onto the connected PC, including web browsers and proprietary software
2) Using software to capture notes written on a whiteboard or whiteboard-like surface
Controlling the PC (click and drag), markup (annotating a program or presentation) and
translating cursive writing to text (not all whiteboards)
3) In some instances the Interactive Whiteboard may be provided with an integrated Audience Response System so presenters can carry out polls and quizzes and capture the feedback on the Interactive Whiteboard .
