The following downloadable, printable documents are overviews of i-board topics grouped by curriculum theme. They take the form of simple pictorial flowcharts, describing how the use of the i-board screens can be integrated into everyday lessons to support curriculum objectives. They are a great starting point for "whiteboard novices" or would be very useful as discussion points for training on "Interactive Whiteboard use" or as a model for "embedding/integrating ICT"
The i-board resources are best used where teachers promote creative exploration, set some challenges and encourage open discussion. Used as a whole class activity with an Interactive Whiteboard or projector, followed up with a session in the computer lab in small groups. Allow pupils to gather information and make decisions in a small group environment promoting collaborative working.
These activities are learning possibilities, not dressed up tests. It follows the idea that choosing, trying out and exploring are the main ‘interactive’ elements. Pupils tend to listen more attentively during these interactive lessons.
