Where are you with your IWB?
At least you’ve
turned the IWB on!
Getting warmer! You
have some basics now.
Now you’re cooking!
Where are you?
Some features of a classroom where the teacher is doing ‘old things’ in the same ‘old way’.
•Primarily use Word documents, scanned texts and diagrams•Use networked programs like excel or PowerPoint rather than web based•Notes and diagrams handwritten on board as lesson is taught•Usually not prepared in advance of lesson•Usually not saved at end of class•Teacher working in isolation – not sharing resources with others•Very limited use of the IWB’s toolset•Often only teacher using the board – expensive version of chalk and talk
Stages of IWB useStage One
Old Things in Old Ways

Stage TwoOld Things in New Ways
Some features of a classroom where the teacher is doing ‘old things’ in the ‘new ways’•Modifying existing paper based activities and worksheets for the IWB •Greater use of resources from web or IWB gallery•Using network and web based software that works on IWB e.g. Google Earth•Most or all lessons saved for future use and shared with staff to reduce workload•Decrease in paper use for ‘worksheets’, less copying, maybe less teacher standing out front•Students starting to use IWB in group work, for their presentations, to demonstrate, problem solve (e.g Maths) and create e.g. Art, Design •Noticeable increase in level of student interest and engagement•Noticeable increase in students’ basic skill level on board (using IWB Tools)•Using premade flipcharts e.g. From Promethean Planet and making some minor changes•Moving to making very simple flipcharts with dragable layered objects that can be moved around the screen, revealing or hiding existing words an objects

The problem with this stage is that often teachers think they have ‘arrived’! While it is a great start, this is still ‘old things in new ways’. We have to help ourselves and our colleagues move to …
Stage ThreeNew Things in New Ways
Some features of a classroom where the teacher is doing ‘new things’ in the ‘new ways’.
• Extensive use of IWB tools, resources and features • Using software that enables students to manipulate ideas – seeing what happens
to the final outcome if a variable is changed here or there e.g. Gapminder for infographics
• Engaging in virtual and simulated environments e.g. virtual tours, Intrepica, Club Penguin
• Perform dangerous or impractical experiments via simulation e.g. Chemistry!• Using animations and video• Accessing vast libraries of interactive learning objects• Embedding links• Including high-resolution photo images
And…
…• Increasing level of student involvement and interactivity: dual pen,
interactive voting systems, personalised content such as images/footage/art or design work of your students
• Raising questions or posting problems that lead to greater understanding and deeper insight into a topic
• Incorporating a range of multimedia: podcast, animation, video, simulation, image, music
• Including your students in the design process: the concepts within the IWB toolbar and design (e.g. layers and restrictors) are very transferrable.
• Connecting (e.g. Live video conferencing) with global partner classes, experts, organisations, parents and the community
• Collaborating on joint projects, research • Creating – and post to blog, web, wikis
Our aim: To use our IWB as a window to our world!

Working with layers
Action objects and layers – skeleton Science /PE example
Action Objects and layers - This ActivInspire tutorial shows how to assign actions to objects to reveal objects hidden in multiple layers. It uses the 'Bring to Front' action. Very simple and very effective
It’s important to understand the concept of layers in ActiveInspire – as well as many other programs and web tools.

Add labels
1.Insert a background on a new flipchart2.Add labels:
• Single words• Definitions• Explanation
Play with colours
1. Open up the flipchart: ‘Ad ‘ed’2. The white box needs to change
colour. See if you can work out how to change the colour.
3. Hint: Have the object browser open on the left so you can see which layer the box is on.
