The IWB Challenge

Posted on Apr 24, 2008 in Activity Ideas, Interactive Whiteboards | 0 comments

I just wanted to direct you to the blog of Jess McCulloch who has decided that April is Interactive Whiteboard month and has been writing about her use of the IWB to teach Modern Foreign Languages. Read part 3 here, which has links to the previous posts.

As well as Jess, three other teachers at My Languages, The Langwitch Chronicles and Sans Problemes have also taken up the IWB challenge and written about their experiences. I’m looking forward to seeing more as they continue the challenge.

This has also been linked to the Passion Quilt meme, where teachers blog about what they are most passionate about in education. Again, well worth a look.

There is a growing network of inspirational teachers sharing their ideas on the Internet for others to use to develop their own teaching. I always love stumbling across a new one, there are some truly inspirational ones out there.

Animoto Education Program

I’ve talked about Animoto before in the last few months(here and here), and I think it’s a great way of producing professional-looking slideshows.

Even better now is the announcement of an Animoto Education Program. This is great news and means that educators can use Animoto with their classes for free!

Contact Rebecca at Animoto via the address on this page to find out more.
