at the heart of all is good-

IWBs…The Digital Hub

Rich Media
Digital Resources
Engaging Communication Technologies
Working on a whiteboard is like conducting a symphony. You're bringing in drag-and-drop collaborative writing and problem solving activities, then cueing up a film clip or bringing in the Internet to do research. There are many seemingly disparate functions and features, that when used together, create a holistic lesson. http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=10621http://www.soulful-song.org/
We unplug our students, believing that laptops, iPods,
cell phones, and even whiteboards have no real place in
teaching the three Rs.
As a result, students fail to see the relevance of their
education as they judge the delivery
and not the content. http://connected.waldenu.edu/index.php/blogs/35-policy-matters/536-interactive-whiteboards-uneven-learning.html

Allow time for learners to learn and explore ideas What they need to learn may not
exactly match what you have planned to teach
Flexibility & willingness to take the occasional detour from the lesson
5. Be Constructive

Create lessons that allow the students to learn by playing and manipulating ideas
Step away from the board & let the students take over
6. Be Open-Mindedhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/gayparadechile/5182864804/
Be creative
Be open to new ideas
Be innovative
Think and Teach outside of the box
7. Be Willing To ShareFlickr Photo By Medmoiselle T Tania Liu

Proper Planning Prevents A Poor Performance
Have a back-up plan
Have a back-up for the back-up
No matter what tool we are discussing, the tools can
only do so much. The teachers need time to
explore how best to use it. It is only in that way that
teaching pedagogy can be improved.http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2008/08/01/smart-technologies-whiteboard-software-new-requires-product-keys-for-installation/

We shouldn't expect "out of the box" thinking when we only employ "in the box" teaching.
