WHAT IS AN INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD? |
 |
An interactive whiteboard allows the user to project the image from the
computer screen onto a large whiteboard.
The screen is interactive and
the user can use their finger to move images and text around the board.
The
interactive pens and rubber allow the use to annotate images and pictures
directly onto the screen with no need for a keyboard. |
THE INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD PROJECT |
Torbay were one of 5 authorities selected to
be part of the Year 2 and 3 Interactive Whiteboard Pilot. The aim of the pilot is to study how
the use of the board can improve teaching and learning in Mathematics and Literacy.
There are 30 classes involved in the pilot and each classroom has been provided with an Interactive Whiteboard,
printers, scanners and a laptop.The schools are currently developing materials which can be used
with the board. Some of the materials will soon be available on the site.
