Literature+resources

=Literature resources: After a quick skim through....... better ones at the top= For me I've probably done about as much research as I would do for a 250 word paper. I have the gist of what I need to think about and mould into an article. Jocelyn

Smarter music Teaching Interactive Whiteboard Use in Music Classrooms. Worth a read
The first part of this article gives some ideas on how IWB benfit music classrooms especially for students. About half way through is a heading Teachers concerns. After that the author outlines soecific ways to incorporate IWB into music



IWBs Boon or bandwagon A review of literature
Short good read and great conclusion

I found the same article and I think it is a very good literature review. As its name, this article is a literature review on the use of interactive whiteboard in education settings. I have briefly written down the advantage and problems of using IWB as a teaching and learning tool. Advantages: Flexibility and versatility multimedia presentation. Supporting planning and the development of Resources Modelling ICT skills Interactivity and participation Motivation and affect

Problems: Training and support

[|Derek Wenmoths Blog and links] Forgive me people I don't know don't know where you live ( my other paper has 3 NZer's and 11 people working in education overseas) and what your role is in education. Derek is world reknown in education circles and is a director for CORE education in Ch. So his thoughts and connections worth noting.

Beauty or Lipskick A Sth Africian case study
This case study talks about introducing the ebeam pen used on an IWB. The conclusion is good and worth a read. Hightlights issues like teacher pd and the pedagogical implications. Interesting in the report the authors say a teacher can keep better control of the class with an IWB and a laptop which to me indicates chalk and talk whole calss teaching which in my opinion is not the prupose of IWB, I thought they were for collaboraion. They recommend not to roll out IWB on a large scale basis.



Analysing the use of interactive technology to implement interactiive teaching. A UK study.
Interesting conclusion again. This study is based around the interactive nature of the IWB to promote collaboration. It appears its not happening and the conclusion outlines reasons why and makes suggestions. Pg 2 is a good read. makes valid points

learning environments using IWB. New learning spaces or reproduction of the old. Another UK study
oopps sorry people the file is too big to upload This is becoming the norm. I quote from the citation "It was found that they were used for quick introductions to lessons and whole class teaching. They were also teacher directed and fostered shallow learning. Through interviews with the teachers, it was found that the approaches observed were based on assumptions about learners and technology."



A reasonably balanced review. But please remember I've ony had a quick flick through. mani themes PD and pedagogy will this suit a NZ context?

How interactive is yr whiteboard. A mathematical study from UK
This article is saying much the same. teachers need PD in how to use the IWB, they need to seriously evaluate their pedagogy and thirdly to gain major benefit they need the chn involved and collaborating. The citiation says "Teachers are at the beginning of a revolution and it will require a great deal of experimentation and reflection on the part of dedicated teachers before they are able to realise the full potential of the technology to encourage **//interactive//** learning."

 * Student Teachers’ Experiences and Attitudes Towards Using**

This article is a report of provision and use of IWB by student teachers in placement schools in UK. It addressed the need of training and practice of using technology for teachers due to lack of ICT skills.

 * The interactive whiteboard in an early years classroom: A case study in the impact of a new technology on pedagogy

This is a case study on the use of IWB in a Melbourne primary school. The study argues that to be able to successfully integrate technology into classroom activities, it requires both pedagogy change and practice.

I haven't recieved a copy of yr email Jocelyn


 * Michelle: Hi everyone, here are some of the resources i have come across:

1) Gillen, Littleton, Twiner, Staarman & Mercer (2007) - This article is a case study in which the authors examine in detail how a teacher pursues 2 themes across 4 science lessons. The findings of this paper support the use of IWB and state that planned use of the IWB can be effectively integrated into teaching practice (I think this is an imp issues as some teachers do not understand how IWB can be incorporated into traditional methods)



AGGGHHRRR i cant figure out how to attach the documents. I will sent them as an email to you all.

2) SMART Technologies (2004) - this is a review of classroom case studies ... its a white paper - and i think we can draw some interesting points from this paper.



3) Kennewell, Tanner, Jones and Beauchamp (2007) - i found another paper by Kennewell - i like htis article because it explains the background to the introduction and implementation of IWBs in the UK. This may be slightly off our task - however this paper does explore the idea of interactive teaching in relation to the interactive technology. Basically it raises a good discussion about the relationship of technology and pedagogy.



4) Shenton & Pagett (2007) - this is an easy read article. Although it focuses on literacy, i found that this article discusses the impact of usign IWBs in the classroom - how it impacts on practice. We could draw some positive points from this paper.



I have sent the articles to you via webct email i hope you all get it.**
