Interactive white boards are quickly replacing the usual
traditional black boards. These blackboard we have been using since day one are
one of the best and easiest ways to teach but often lack to accommodate all
learning styles that learners in your class may have. By emphasizing certain
information visually using different colors and shapes will partly address
this problem. Information and learner notes made during class can be stored and
shared with learners at a later stage.
IWB- teaching will inquire the use of a whiteboard,
projector and computer. With the right software this will allow any surface to
transform in a screen or display. The use of this technology will make teaching
easier and allows for better flow from concepts and different programs to
carry over the knowledge and information that you as a teacher wishes to. When utilized in an efficient way it can be
used to facilitate learning activities and new teaching methods. Student
achievement may increase as it will enhance pedagogical practices.
Potential use of this technology in business studies can
include the use of learner-response-devices. Here students can vote on controversial
topics individually. Anonymity will allow students to be more interactive and
the answers can be displayed in a quick manner so that all learners can see it.
Learners can also engage in educational games based on topics. Examples may
include to drag and match definitions. This will allow learners to become more
comfortable with terminology used in the business world.
