The Interactive Whiteboard Revolution: Teaching with IWBs

Interactive whiteboards (IWBs) are not just another classroom technology. As the first digital technology designed specifically for teaching and learning, they have the potential to radically alter the way we learn and to facilitate the integration and ready use of all other digital technologies - hardware and software. Just as the blackboard was the symbol and transformative technology of the 18th century classroom, the interactive whiteboard will be the centerpiece of the 21st century digital classroom. This book provides a wealth of information, including: how to get your school started with IWBs * selecting the right IWB technology * principles and strategies for effective IWB teaching * lesson design and software tools * professional development, training, and support. The Interactive Whiteboard Revolution contains eight case studies with leading educators talking about how they use IWBs. Above all, the book makes the point that IWBs are great tools to help great teachers do what they do best.
