Student Thinking
Good teachers
understand that
while IWBs may be
helpful and
interesting,
at the heart of all is
good-quality
teaching, built
around a
student-centered,
constructivist
model of learning
p14
Teachers who
understand [IBWs] tap
into the potential of
this new technology by
developing engaging
and interesting
interactive lessons that
capture the attention
and imagination of
students in a
pedagogically sound
and creative manner

Working on a whiteboard is
like conducting a symphony.
You're bringing in
drag-and-drop
collaborative writing and problem
solving activities,
then cueing up a film clip or
bringing in the
Internet to do research.
There are many
seemingly disparate
functions and features,
that when used together,
create a holistic lesson.

We unplug our students, believing that
laptops, iPods, cell phones, and even
whiteboards have
no real place in
teaching the three Rs. 

As a result, students fail to see the


relevance of their education as they
judge the delivery
and not the content.

No matter what tool we are
discussing, the tools can only do
so much. The teachers need time
to explore how best to use it. It is
only in that way that teaching
pedagogy can be improved.

We shouldn't expect
"out of the box"
thinking
when we
only employ
"in the box"
teaching.
