Whiteboards

=//__Whiteboards__//=

The UK has developed the digital white board through nation wide educational initiatives. I think you would be advised to look at some of the BECTA materials. Not much is being done here, with digital whiteboards lately but I believe that these links are still quite good for undergraduates. I'll pose a few links here with some of my brief thoughts.

[|Whiteboard recommendations for schools] a brochure produced by BECTA

[|Gameboards for SMARTboards] (Video = 8:35)
[|Abilities! Podcasts] I also put this link on the Adaptive Technology page, but many of the podcasts are about SMARTBoards so it fits here too. Introduction Video Modify the Tools [|Cooper's Online Tutorial] I created some help sheets that I put online for our Whiteboard assignment. I went to an inservice at Northmont in which the presenter gave us this premade KooshBall SMARTBoard activity. I got pretty jazzed up about. it. Each circle is a hyperlink to a question. Students throw a KooshBall at the SMARTBoard to switch screens. The presenter says the KooshBall won't hurt the board. I plan on using this at Northmont. I'll keep you posted. Too cool! I really like that activity. Do you give each student a Koosh ball? Where do you get them?

Interesting Perspective on IWB. I plan on using this when we do our lesson.
