Get Inspired by Active Inspire

I am lucky to be using the Interactive Whiteboard with my Year 9 English class. The possibilities are endless. Talk about Active Learning! At this stage the content is prepared by my Learning Manager, but I get to implement the learning activites with the class. The students are so motivated and call out excitedly all the tools that I should be using. Not only does the IWB make the lesson more fun, but the learning becomes seamless. We move from viewing of film clips, to looking at film reviews on www.rottentomatoes.com, to instruction in a power point style, to lively discussion and back to more film. The gadgets and tools are so accessible down the side of the screen and so far, no malfunctions. Students can add their ideas onscreen in dot point or work in groups to come up with an idea which they then transfer to the board. It's a wonderful learning tool, and creates a great learning environment.
