Interactive White Boards

If the board is also hooked up to a VCR, video clips can be interspersed with activities, questions, etc. Electronic whiteboards are not just a visual aid. All the stand alone activities can be done on the electronic whiteboard. PowerPoint presentations provide an excellent focus for pupils
If your board has Active Studio, you can perform all sorts of exciting activities! 'Brainstorming' and 'snowballing' activities work well on the board whether done by the teacher or by selected pupils. A programme called 'Inspiration' can be downloaded on a free trial basis at http://www.inspiration.com - this enables you to draw brain trees, concept maps and much more.
