Interactive Whiteboards

I feel that interactive whiteboards are an amazing teaching tool. I would love to have one in my classroom. They add so much more dimension to a lesson. Students love the interaction they encourage and they just make the entire learning process more fun! For the teacher, whiteboards provide so many options for presenting a lesson. The possibilities are endless. Being able to hold students' interest for a longer period of time is an obvious advantage. The fact that audio and video can so easily be incorporated into even the simplest lesson is a reason to want to have one in the classroom for students and teachers, alike.

The ability to draw or write freehand is a nice, basic option, but all of the images that are available to get the point across are so helpful and interesting. To be able to present a flag, a portrait, a game, a map, etc. right at your fingertips is such an awesome power provided to the educator by the interactive whiteboard. The magnitude of this technology is huge. Getting students involved and holding their interest is the name of the game. I believe that interactive whiteboards have revolutionized the world of education!
