EdTech Leaders

Moving eduction to the 21st century

Inter Active White (IWB) boards, or "Smart boards" are becoming more visible in classrooms around the world. I have used the mimio and the Smart IWB's over the last 4 years and it has changed the way I teach.It took me awhile, but I figured out that the IWB is more than a fancy chalk board, it can be one of many tools that can transform education. A IWB transforms the classroom into an interactive learning space where the students can start to take charge of their own learning.
I have been listening to Ben Hazzard and Joan Badger's IWB podcast for over a year and it has become a go to place for great IWB curriculum ideas.
They finished their first 150 podcasts in November of 2008 and started a new series called Connecting Teaches in January 2009. Not only do Joan and Ben have great tips for using IWB's, but they are entertaining, funny and dedicated educators.
So check out their new web site at http://pdtogo.com/smart/, to see and hear all the great the podcast you have missed click on the Archives tab. I have an RSS feed of there podcast on the Podcast section of this Ning, so take a listen.
To keep the sharing tradition going add your best uses of your IWB to this forum.
