4. Aims of Day Three “It’s not what happens on the board. It’s about what happens because of what happens on the board” Betcher 2009 Participants will be introduced to the dialogic teaching approach. This involves the teacher and pupils working together to explore and share ideas, generate questions, make reasoning clear and build on the ideas of others. The importance of getting children involved with the IWB Classroom examples of the dialogic teaching approach in action. Explore IWB websites and how they can be used in your teaching.

5. The IWB and Interactive Teaching and Learning An IWB is not an IWB if it is not used correctly. A badly used IWB is little more than an expensive electronic blackboard. It will simply be used as projector with no interactive elements. In order of an IWB lesson to be effective the children must be involved otherwise the potential interactivity will be lost. Steer clear from “sage on stage” didactic approach (teacher lead, teacher control lessons) and get children involved. We need to get INTERACTIVE.

6. The IWB and Interactive Teaching and Learning – A Dialogic Approach Children can uses these boards interactively – develop knowledge. Encourages dialogue between students and teacher It allows exploration of ideas, sharing work and making reasoning. Building on ideas of others, speaking for more extended length of time. The role of the teacher is important to get students to think more deeply. When they are used correctly students and teachers can have a much closer relationship. Learning becomes a socially constructed collaborative experience and children have fun!

7. Managing your Classroom for the IWB – Involving students Small groups for different lessons Creating games that can be played on the IWB Using the IWB as a whole class lesson for games, resource to supplement the learning, stimulus to introducing topic or as a revision tool. Aid differentiation – one small group does activity on the IWB Presentations – Powerpoint, demonstrations Challenge children’s learning – games, quizzes, competitions – children work in pairs or individually.
