Why not IWB activities?
|
Hi everybody,
I normally prepare my lessons using my IWB software and I was just thinking we could start to upload lessons for IWB too. What do you think?

We don �t have IWB �s in our school and I don �t expect to see them soon. As far as preparation is concerned, do you think it is more or less work using them? I hate it when my tape doesn �t work for a listening comprehension exercise. Are there a lot of technical problems? Do you enjoy working with it? Sorry for the 20 questions - I have a bit of trouble dealing with change. |

I have got some good IWB material and it would be useful to upload and share them with you all.  |

I am teaching in the room with the interactive whiteboard tomorrow and I shall be forced to use it as there is no whiteboard anymore. I have receive some rudimentary training in the basics. To use these �monsters � effectively requires a lot of learning but the main feature is interactivity - students can actually get involved in manipulating text/image on the board itself.
I �ll let you know tomorrow evening how I get on. |

Dear aftab, break a leg tomorrow. I �m sure you �ll do great.
I �ll be waiting to hear how it went.
Mariannina - I understand what you mean, maybe I �ll be lucky and retire before they come to our school.

Thanks for your replies. I have been working with my IWB (interactive whiteboard, for Claudine) for four years and I am really fond of it. Children love it and I see they can memorize vocabulary and structures better than before.
I can upload some lessons I did, but I am thinking maybe it would be better to export them in PPT, as I don �t know if they work with other kinds od IWBs...
Anyway, I work with a Smartboard, but I am starting to use also a Promethean one. What about you?
I am ready to help people who have an interactive whiteboard, but they can �t use it!;-)

At my school we have smartboards - which I love - in most classroom. We also have 5 activeboards and you can use the software on both boards. Think it would be great if we could upload material here |
