Interactive White Boards (IWB) is a tool that is used by teachers to enhance the teaching and learning process. With another tool there must be careful planning the ensure that it is used effectively and that all students are engaged during the lesson.
However my concerns with IWB does it encourage interactivity in the class does, it encourage the students to use their problem solving and critical thinking skills during the lessons. From the videos demonstrating the use of IBW, the teacher was at the front of the class demonstrating the concepts to the students. The students then demonstrated what they understood in the various activities. This just remind me of what many teachers are presently doing but instead of the IBW they use the chalkboard. Doing the same old thing in new ways.
