i've been introduced to this technology since i was in college..there was a workshop held in UM regarding how to use this tool..well, what is IWB actually?IWB stands for interactive whiteboard.The interactive whiteboard is an exciting teaching tool that enables anything you can do or see on a computer screen to be projected onto a whiteboard for all the class to see.
there are a lot of things can be done with this board.
- The whole class can benefit from computer-based lesson material without having to try to squeeze around a single screen.
- Lessons can be prepared in advance on a computer or a laptop, and classwork can be stored onto the computer using the interactive whiteboard. we can edit our material and store it as we go along.
- Interactive whiteboards allow material from a variety of media to be displayed. They are also very flexible in the sense that virtually any educational software can be used with them.
- Because they have evolved from existing technologies and are quite straightforward, interactive whiteboards are easy to use.
having said that, i'm still confuse on how to use it as i didn't get the opportunities to use it often..well, that's my fault..the board is always in the computer lab but i never have the feeling to touch it and learn how to use it..my bad!
the software is already inside my laptop and now i'm learning how to use the tool as using the smartboard is part of our assignment..i found out that whenever i use the software, my laptop will hang for a while and frequently i lost my work..maybe the software is not suitable with window vista..i don't know..but i managed to do the assignment..it's just that i have to save my work every 2 minutes..
well, hopefully this board will be available in every school as soon as possible so that every student and teacher will benefit from it.
