Possible opportunities for resourcing and supporting lesson with the help of IWB

71 
simply use the smart board or IWB eraser to reveal the answer. You can discuss their choices 
before asking pupils to reveal the hidden word (number etc.). 
Reordering the text (any information)/sequencing 
Reordering the text enables children to show their understanding of appropriate features of a 
certain information or style of writing. You can present various parts of a text (different figure or 
numbers etc.) onto flipchart page and present them on the IWB in the wrong order. Pupils can 
discuss as a group or with partner how to reorder the text, making notes to refer to as they go, 
then some may come to the IWB to highlight and arrange the passage correctly. Asking pupils to 
sequence the parts of the story provide a purposeful way to demonstrate their understanding of 
the topic. 
Annotating images, pictures, texts, pupils’ work etc. 
You can scan image, picture or text to display on an IWB and use the IWB’s pens and other on-
screen tools, such as shapes and highlighters, to annotate it. The example of possible pupil’s 
work that demonstrate the successful- or not so successful application of the particularly lesson 
topic, and then collaboratively see how they can improve their writing, thus with a help of IWB 
there is a possibility to integrate assessment for learning into teaching practice. 
Digital microscope 
Digital microscope allows the children to view objects and creatures in detail for various reasons. 
Visualizers
This can be used to good effect in science. Pupils can be shown large images on the IWB of 
close up details of experiments, gaining a better understanding of the science involved. 
Data loggers 
Data loggers have a lot to offer in science, used with or without IWB. Pupils can use them 
independently of the computer to log different kind of data. Having been connected to the 
computer the software downloads the data, which can be converted into tables, graphs which can 
be used in the process of presenting their findings. This can also be displayed on the IWB to 
explore all manner of variables. 
Save Student Work for Wiki or Blog 
After students have solved a math problem, corrected English grammar, completed a science 
concept map, or other student work, do not erase it. Clone the page to show multiple solutions to 
the same problem or idea. Export the lesson as a pdf file, upload it to slideshare.net (which is 
free), copy the code developed by slideshare, and embed it in the class Wiki or blog. 
Making Connections with IWB in Schools 
Additional Web 2.0 tools which can be integrated into lessons and its preparation on smart 
boards or interactive white boards include Facebook.com, ilike.kz. Kaztube.kz, YouTube.com. 
These boards have moved lesson to a whole new level of interactivity and student engagement in 
the learning process. 
Presentations with Power Point 
Power Point presentation is the most common presentation software found in schools. Here are a 
few tips for putting together effective presentations.

First of all it should be used to create stimulating, informative and entertaining 
presentations. 

72 

Use variety of media – text, graphics, animations, sound and video, web and hyperlinks
along with bullet points of main information of the presentation. 

Keep it simple – don’t use too much text on each slide as pupils can’t keep up with the 
flood of information. 

Make text as large as possible and keep it well spaced 

Don’t use too many colours as this can cause a headache

Make sure the background colours do not clash with the text or make it difficult to read
