Interactive = offering immediate feedback
A What should the teacher do?
3 ways of using IWB:
1. PRESENTATION - present text, images, sound, animations, video, links
1. PRESENTATION - present text, images, sound, animations, video, links
2. PRACTICE + FEEDBACK - indiviual work, PC lab - multiple choice, matching, gapfill... pre-progammed feedback!
3. CREATIVE TASKS

ALWAYS
- use the time wisely
- motivate the students
B What should we include?

- motivating activities (games)
- feedback
C Technical skills to be mastered:
- inserting text
- inserting images
- inserting audio
- inserting links
- locking
- grouping
- using layers - covering one object with another
- containing
- magical window

USING CONTAINERS
1. Text to be moved:
Identification: Name = Panda
Contain: Return if not contained = True
2. Image or a space where to put the text/answer:
Can Contain = Specific object
Contain Object = (Select Object) Panda
Contain Rule = Completely contained
Česká verze:
1. Text (objekt), s nímž se bude pohybovat:
Identifikace: Název = Panda
Kontejner: Vrátit, pokud není obsaženo = Pravda
2. Objekt (obrázek), kam se text/odpověď přesouvá:
Může obsahovat = Konkrétní objekt
Obsažený objekt = (Vybrat objekt) Panda
Pravidlo pro obsah = Úplně obsaženo

1. Insert two images
2. Put one of them to the Top layer
3. Create a rectangle. Settings:

b. Výplň – Nic
4. Activate the magic ink. Fill in the rectangle.
5. Set the order of the resulting two objects (rectangle will be above the magic ink to make the margins smooth)
6. Group them together.

We can use IWB as a playful tool to learn new materials without being bored to death.
OdpovědětVymazatThe difference between IWB and a dataprojector is the fact that we can "interact" with the IWB and we can only watch the dataprojector. This makes learning much more fun and actively contributes to the children/students learning progress.
It can be utilised quite well when testing the students' knowledge on basically anything allowing the 'correct/wrong' kind of feedback.
OdpovědětVymazatPersonally, I remember being able to learn vocabulary better when using the IWB in class.
Interactive boards can be used for simplifying education. The advantage of using an interactive board, as the name already suggests, it's interactive. For example, it is really helpful in primary education, where children can easily interact with the class itself, while the data project has many disadvantages. For example, a data projector requires a dark room for the content to be visible. And as we all have seen throughout our classes, data projectors can be hard to maintain and use.
OdpovědětVymazatWe think that interactive boards can be very useful tool for students who work at individual speed as everybody can access it. There is no pressure while exercising and students can work and try out as many times as they need until they get it right and understand it. It is more fun to use this method than only looking at the information from the data projector. Using this method enables students to use their imagination and creative skills.
OdpovědětVymazatInteractive boards are great invention to turn the formal lesson into fun and enjoyable experience for students and teachers as well. The advantage is implementation of pictures, video media and apps, which would not be avaible without IWB. Also it helps to create better class "student friendly climate" that activates even the passive students that usually don´t participate in classes actively

It would be more fun for students to study vocabulary, new words and revision. It includes the students instead of them just watching. It also makes them get up instead of hiding by their desk.
OdpovědětVymazatIWB is useful in preschool and primary school setting. Variety of tools, immediate feedback, so on.
OdpovědětVymazatReading the comments above, it's important to remember that IWB won't make you a better pedagogue...
Chinese proverb: a plastic doll doesn't substitute a wife..
The Interactive Boards can make the lesson more engaging, especially for younger students. You can make various exercises on various topics and more appealing to students eyes and ears.
OdpovědětVymazatWe can use IWB as an interactive vocabulary. With the use of pictures and colours, the lesson is way more playful and amusing and it catches kids attention. Data projector does not offer interactive content.
OdpovědětVymazatIWB may make it easier to study difficult themes (grammar, for example) Simple visualisations, schemes, interactive exercises would help to fill the gaps in understanding. Learning vocabulary or irregular verbs would also be much funnier. Any boring stuff is easier to remember, when it is presented in a bright original way

It was so helpful for me;)
