Interactive Whiteboards – The Latest ICT Development for Older Students with Learning Difficulties
Many WA schools are starting to invest in interactive whiteboards (IWBs). Experience and research from overseas has shown that Interactive Whiteboards are particularly beneficial for students with learning difficulties and disabilities. IWBs can improve both motivation and classroom behaviour, assist in lesson planning and support diverse learning styles. They bring fun into the classroom for teacher and student alike and provide greater opportunities for collaboration and participation.
This presentation will demonstrate the benefits of IWBs and supportive software and give practical strategies on how to use them creatively to benefit older students who need assistance with reading, spelling and writing skills.
