ResearchWhat we know :

As presentation hardware, IWBs are superior to existing technology such as an overhead projector because of their capacity to interface with other technologies such as the computer, ipad, tablet, or smart phone. When one considers what this means in terms of what it can bring into the classroom, there is little in the way of comparison. IWBs are capable of engaging students in complex, meaningful, goal-directed learning activities (Kuo & Hsiao, 2013). Students can be active in the processes of collaboration, discussion, creativity, and performance through a medium which addresses all learning styles rather than just a view of projected 2D notes (Thomas & Schmid, 2010) (Salton & Arslan, 2009).

ResearchWhen used appropriately, the IWB can be much more student centered than traditional presentations which are teacher centered (Howland, Johnassen, & Marra, 2013). For example, students can be involved in creating and sharing videos for demonstrations of how to solve math problems which is a much higher level skill than merely observing the teacher demonstrate a formula and/or choosing an answer from a list of choices.ResearchFor the population under consideration, IWBs can serve as a far less stressful and more successful form of evaluation than traditional tests, which typically result in failure. IWBs are more successful student engagement, and holding the attention and interest which is a major concern in working with students with special needs. IWBs can significantly increase student achievement. (Clemens, Moore, & Nelson, 2010). IWBs can help in cases where the use of traditional methods are failing (Dostal, 2011).

ReflectionsThrough this project, I have learned a great deal about using IWBs, as well as WHY they should be used.
