Getting students excited about what they’re learning is half the battle when it comes to being a teacher. And this is particularly true when a student (often wrongly) feels he or she doesn’t have the aptitude for the subject you’re teaching. So, how can technology help generate that crucial enthusiasm? Here’s a taste of what teachers from around the Twitterverse have been doing with one teaching tool in particular, the IS-01 Interactive Whiteboard System from IPEVO. As you’ll see, a range of subjects are covered, so maybe a technique here might be useful for your own subject and teaching style.
Here’s IS-01 in art class, demonstrating perspective so that the whole class can see and understand.
IS-01 also makes an appearance in biology class, teaching the concept of Punnett Squares.
Handwriting and spelling is a good fit for IS-01. Tactile learners can practice at the board while visual learners can watch as it happens.
Here, a history teacher makes good use of Martin Luther King Day to introduce historical facts via a drag-and-drop style exercise.
And in English class, real-time annotation and different color options make it easy to identify parts of a text.
No matter what your subject, chances are you could benefit from an interactive whiteboard. And at only $149, the IS-01 Interactive Whiteboard System could be what you need while not breaking your budget.
