Using whiteboards the smart way

Interactive whiteboards can have a positive effect on students achievement if used properly.  When used properly that can give a student a 16 percentile point gain in their achievement. Teachers must organize information and group it into small, meaningful segments.  Any visual pictures they used should focus on the important information.  Teachers must discuss the correct and incorrect answer and focus on why an answer is correct or incorrect.  Teachers must use them thoughtfully to utilize whiteboards correctly. Teachers must remember whiteboard lessons are no different then regular lessons.  They must be well organized, delivered at a decent pace and involve activities to engage your students in learning objectives.
