Seventh National Interactive Teaching and Learning Conference 2010

Retreived From: http://www.iwb.net.au/conferences/australian10/ Seventh National Interactive Teaching and Learning Conference 2010 'The major presentation categories of the conference will be: Implementing educationally sound IWB programs in schools Professional development, training and support for interactive teaching The power and diversity of Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) and the associated IWB software Third party software perfectly suited for use on an IWB Peripheral technology adding value to teaching and learning through an IWB The educational benefits of Student Response Systems with or without an IWB Cutting edge Web 2.0 technology (cloud computing) for interactive learning Communicating and collaborating to learn, using digital technologies Emerging interactive technologies and their potential benefits for learning. With interactive technology playing such a prominent place in the learning of our students, this is one event that you should not miss. It provides you with an opportunity to see the latest practice presented by teachers who are leading the advances being made in interactive teaching and learning' This website is particularly useful for finding ways in which the IWB, found in so many classrooms, can be used effectively. It could be argued that holding one every year, and it is in its seventh, indicates the impact the the IWB is having on Australian schools.

IWB and group learning

Kent P and Holdway M. Interactive whiteboards, productive pedagogies and literacy teaching. [online]. Literacy Learning : the Middle Years; v.17 n.1 p.21-25; February 2009. Availability: ISSN: 1320-5692. [cited 25 Mar 10] All of the examples given in this article are based on the fundamental principle that group discussion can be initiated through the use of presenting lessons on the whiteboard. The IBW function of linking with other programs or digital equipment means that it is particularly useful in presenting students work and creating discussion around this. Kent argues that this type of teaching which he has named e-teaching can encourage high order thinking through reflection and group discussion.
