The power of the IWB lies in its interactivity, let the pupils have their turn both in creating and using resources. o Be prepared - Things can and will go wrong with technology. Don’t panic. Have a list of commonly occurring issues and a backup plan! Promethean IWB: Hints and Tips M.P. Jowett © 2014

Use personalised resources - Where possible, and subject to copyright permissions, use images of the pupils or their work for your interactive whiteboard resources and watch the interest levels soar! Don’t reinvent the wheel - There are thousands of IWB resources online, which have been created by teachers. There is bound to be something to meets your needs – download it and modify!
