The Benefits of Teaching with an IWB

There are several benefits to teaching with an Interactive White Board (IWB):

IWB Presentations can be printed for students ahead of time. Teachers spend less time with their back to the class, and more time working with the content. Further, students no longer waste time copying from the board and instead spend that time listening and annotating their notes with anything that will help them understand.

IWB Presentations can be shared across multiple teachers, enabling collaboration. In this environment, teachers work together on improving instruction from year to year, creating a cycle of continuous improvement.

While common curriculum leads to common assessments, teachers using the same IWB presentations enable large scale student collaboration. This allows any student to get help from any student or teacher, regardless of their class.
