Teaching and learning process is the main factor in education. The use of whiteboard and marker while teaching is an essential media for delivering knowledge from a lecturer to students. In another side, it can cost in daily operation such as making marker dried because of capped-off, easily smudged and some whiteboard (for projector screen) is difficult to be clean if written. The objective is...

Using the interactive whiteboard to resource continuity and support multimodal teaching in a primary science classroom

All communication is inherently multimodal, and understandings of science need to be multidimensional. The interactive whiteboard offers a range of potential benefits to the primary science classroom in terms of relative ease of integration of a number of presentational and ICT functions, which taken together offer new opportunities for fostering multifaceted pedagogic strategies. In this case ...

Orchestration with the Interactive Whiteboard

The Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) is the first ICT tool primarily designed for whole-class interaction. It is now in regular use in most British primary schools. Research into its introduction in classrooms has revealed its distinctive potential for enabling the teacher to plan and orchestrate lessons using a wide range of multimodal resources. In this paper we explore ways in which teachers use...

Interactive WhiteBoard: Effective Interactive Teaching Strategy Designs for Biology Teaching

Can the interactive whiteboard support young children's collaborative communication and thinking in classroom science activities?

Interactive whiteboards (IWBs) have been widely introduced to English primary schools (5–11 years) in the last decade and this has generated much research interest. In the past, research has focused on IWB-use in teacher-led sessions, attending particularly to the nature of teacher-pupil interaction at the IWB and the apparent motivational advantages for children. In contrast, this study focuse...
